Read Norwich, Byzantium, Vol. I: The Early Centuries, chapters 17-18, and Byzantium, Vol. II: The Apogee, chapters 2-5; The Oxford History of Byzantium, chapters 6-7 (and see p. 189, which sums up the Schism quickly: "The rise of the Normans in southern Italy coincided with growing strains in papal relationships with both powers: with Germany, because of the minority of Henry IV and then the latter's hostility to Church reform; with Byzantium, because of the age-old dispute over ecclesiastical jurisdiction in southern Italy, coupled with controversy over doctrine, papal supremacy, and liturgical usage which erupted in a dramatic exchange of excommunications in 1054 that is conventionally seen as the beginning of the schism between the eastern and western Churches"); Eamon Duffy, Saints and Sinners: A History of the Popes, chapter 2; Norwich, Absolute Monarchs: A History of the Papacy, Chapter VIII.

I could continue this, but it's futile considering that not only are you an ignorant ass on this subject, but you just refuse to listen to anything that is said to you. And you wonder why people dismiss your rants.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Atheism: The Iconoclasm of the West? - 10/03/2012 05:42:56 AM 1296 Views
I think about as highly of athiesm as I do of christianity. *NM* - 10/03/2012 05:54:20 AM 357 Views
I would chide you on that basis for having a love/hate relationship with God, but who does not? - 10/03/2012 06:05:11 AM 526 Views
If the divine made men... - 10/03/2012 06:27:42 AM 521 Views
True, but by the same token, in denying our nature we deny the divine. - 10/03/2012 06:57:40 AM 536 Views
I was actually just saying in Skype this is the first post you've made in a long time I've enjoyed. - 10/03/2012 07:02:56 AM 556 Views
Thanks? It is all Dans fault, really. - 10/03/2012 07:21:19 AM 824 Views
But you do comparable things all the time! - 10/03/2012 08:35:31 AM 750 Views
You've made this analogy before and it's still a bad one, those aren't comparable - 10/03/2012 03:43:08 PM 634 Views
You said what I was thinking far more respectfully than I probably would have. - 11/03/2012 12:14:55 AM 601 Views
... and apparently it was a waste of time - 11/03/2012 03:27:04 AM 540 Views
Perhaps he just missed it in all my spam? - 11/03/2012 04:59:31 AM 612 Views
Basically what Isaac said. *NM* - 10/03/2012 07:22:07 PM 307 Views
who? *NM* - 11/03/2012 12:00:13 AM 287 Views
Me - 11/03/2012 03:31:51 AM 568 Views
You're right and wrong. - 10/03/2012 05:09:32 PM 946 Views

Nope, Buddhists are explicitly atheist and also explicitly Ontologically engaged - 11/03/2012 01:39:20 AM 853 Views
Actually, Buddhists are not explicitly atheist in the conventional sense of the world. - 11/03/2012 02:42:36 AM 652 Views
Yeah, that's very true. - 11/03/2012 03:27:09 PM 747 Views
My Buddhist readings are definitely Tibet-focused. - 11/03/2012 04:00:17 PM 799 Views
Duplicate post *NM* - 11/03/2012 03:28:58 PM 374 Views
What exactly do you mean by "The irreparable damage it inflicted in the Great Schism"? - 10/03/2012 07:57:59 PM 723 Views
That Byzantiums iconoclasm was one of the many wedges between it and Rome that led to the Schism. - 11/03/2012 12:27:05 AM 645 Views
Bull. Shit. - 11/03/2012 01:54:07 AM 717 Views
I did not say it was decisive, but that it did irreparable damage to the relationship. - 11/03/2012 04:23:43 AM 734 Views
Bull. Shit. - 11/03/2012 04:30:08 AM 601 Views
It is not like I just pulled it out of my rear, any more than my HS history text or Wikipedia did. - 11/03/2012 04:57:31 AM 676 Views
Bull. Shit. - 11/03/2012 05:14:01 AM 751 Views
Irreparable damage is damage that cannot be repaired, not necessarily serious or fatal. - 11/03/2012 10:34:57 AM 821 Views

Very edifying; can you do Mandarin or Swahili next? - 12/03/2012 05:47:23 PM 688 Views
No. Even English seems to be beyond your grasp. - 12/03/2012 06:29:50 PM 595 Views
Citing scripture does not justify telling me to kill myself. - 13/03/2012 12:08:02 AM 732 Views
I'm not telling you to; God is. - 13/03/2012 12:35:45 AM 514 Views
Or can only you use that sort of specious logic? *NM* - 13/03/2012 03:50:20 PM 262 Views
And re: particular bullshit - 11/03/2012 02:33:15 PM 706 Views
Re: And re: particular bullshit - 13/03/2012 12:07:42 AM 613 Views
Give it up already. You are wrong. - 12/03/2012 12:53:37 AM 901 Views
