Funny how this autist would never spam this pic if the black guy were a white blonde haired and blue eyed person. Really makes you think huh?

The real Roman Empire was pagan

I like how there is one church in moscow that is direct continuation of Golden Horde.

You could argue that Vatican City is in some way a continuation of Rome. Being a separate state that continues the language, some of the law, and the religion from the Roman empire but it's still a bit of a stretch.

The Greek Orthodox church is an ethno-religious club and modern day Greece bears no resemblance to Byzantium. They don't even have Constantinople.

Neither the Pope nor the Patriarch of Constantinople ever presumed to be the emperors of said empires.

no

Agreed on both points. One ruled for a thousand years; the other ruled for a thousand years; now we're past both and headed towards the end of history.

Emperor: Pontifex Maximus
Pope: Pontifex Maximus

I wouldn't hate Catholics so much if they didn't fucking lie all the fucking time.

"Pontifex Maximus" was just one of various titles the emperors had, the religious title to be precise. A title that was abandoned by the emperors around...Theodosius' time? Not entirely sure when. But well before the Schism.

NO.

I don't give a fig about any "schism". The pope stepped into the Roman Emperor's shoes, not Peter's.
