I have had several Orthodox people mentio proudly how after Florence, the bishops' actions were not accepted at home by the bulk of the monks and laity.
Is there room for this today? If the bishop represents the teaching authority of Christ, how does this work? If a set of bishops in a jurisdiction were in disagreement and no one wanted to be the "schismatic," would the jurisdiction end up "divided against itself"?
