>disagreements stem primarily from politics and not theology.

Historically Orthodox saints always rejected union precisely because of theology. The politically minded heretics is who united in spite of the difference in theology for worldly power, like the uniates.

St. Gregory Palamas and many others speak about filioque as a lie of the serpent. Reminder that he is a now a saint in Roman Catholicism through the uniates... If you think it is the RC side who cares about theology, when they allow Nestorius, Theodore of Mopsuestia and St. Palamas veneration, you are seriously self-deluded.

>This, therefore, is a mental [construct] and therefore an even more damnable serpent - the first and the last evil, - crafty and eternally feeding on the lowly and on earthly cunning, the vigilant guardian of the heel (Gen. 3:14, 15), that is, delusions. On every Godly doctrine he is a resourceful inventor and an inexperienced artisan who never forgets his evil art, through obedient Latins, introduces new speeches about God, which seem to contain [only] a small change, but serve as a pretext for great evils and carry terrible [consequences, very] inappropriate for piety and unnatural, and clearly showing to everyone that even the smallest of things related to God is not small.
