>Catholics
>2000 years of tradition
Your church wasn't founded until 1054. Stop pretending that the Orthodox Church doesn't exist. It does, and it's been here much longer than catholicism.

Critics. I am Catholic

implying that it was not a mutual split after hundreds of years of theology debates that were never settled.

>>1317205
Neither can admit that it was a mutual split because both of them want to claim that they were the original church and everyone else got it wrong.

What about a fourth part like us?
((The third part are the protestants))

>implying Manzikert, the Turks and Communism werent divine punishment for the schism of the easterners, while the western church spread all over the world
>Implying the orthodox church isnt full of former KGB agents
>Implying the Orthodox Church gives a fuck about abortion in Russia, or contraception anywhere in the world
>Implying the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople couldnt cease to exist at any moment when the Turks desire so
>Implying hesychasm isnt pretty much doing the same as buddhists while meditating

What do you mean by a fourth part?

>>1317258
don't you fucking dare say gnosticism

>tradition
Just because people have been doing things wrong for a long time doesn't make it right.

>>1317288
People who don't try to have their views prejudiced by religions beliefs.

>>1317295
.....what about fifth part?

>>1317288
>>1317304
