Just wanna point out that that schism wasn't over the papal authority, but over the addition of the filioque (and the Son) to the Nicene Creed

I would agree that papal authority wasn't the only reason for the schism and that the filioque addition was another key reason. Several reasons are outlined in the East/West Schism link including these two.

I have done endless research on cults, sects, denominations, world religions, and I have some advice for all of you: THOSE IN ANY RELIGION OTHER THAN NON DENOMINATED CHRISTIANITY, LEAVE THOSE "RELIGIONS" AND FIND A CHURCH THAT TEACHES THE RIGHT STUFF!!

CHECK OUT THESE SITES: www.reveal.org, www.exmormon.org, www.answeringislam.org, www.carm.org, www.reachingforchrist.org, www.bible.org, www.reformedtheology.org, and possibly www.faithalone.org.
Notice anthing strange about the above sites? That's correct... they all are "dot org's" meaning that they are lead by organizations and theologists that have studied the Bible / other religious scritptures for years, with their main intention being to actually teach what is 100% true and theological, and not what is easy to jump into lightheartedly. Now, myself being an ex-atheist, I have done so much freakin' research on this subject, to find the truth, and I am doing this with a sincere heart, being open to the whole, mere truth. You can trust me... Jesus is the way to go... I wouldn't say that just because I want to...

I recommend the book "a case for faith" by lee strobel and "mere christianity" by CS lewis...

and here's a few "links" from the other sites...

plan of salvation: www.bible.org/page.asp?page_id=276, and http://www.reachingforchrist.org/salvation.php (be carful about #4 and #6 on that site... that's not saying "be perfect," it's saying "let Christ work in you")

any questions you can personally email me... its http://www.christianforums.com/sendmessage.php?do=mailmember&u=98882


GOD BLESS YOU... I'm not trying to "pick on" cults, rather expose them

Not all denominational churches are cults... I think you need to some more research
