I suppose he views the east as never having a strong clerical estate so no worldly power, just tyrannical subjugation under caesars

Removing the altar of victory was a mistake

>>19578603
You’re such an embarrassment

The Byzantine Empire may have been a complete shitshow but their church was the least evil. Fuck the crussades and fuck Ch*rlemagne btw.

They would burn and stone people over pilpul. They would blind and castrate you and send you to a monastery for being less of a sack of shit than the conniving person who usurped you. The "least evil" christers were all wiped out. You are living through what's left

>>19578885
And that is worse that all the shit the Catholics did how exactly? Again, the Byzantines may have been retarded but you have to be an idiot to compare them to the true connoisseurs of torture and intolerance of Europe. The sack of Constantinopole by "le holy knights" is one of the greates crimes against Christianity.

>The sack of Constantinopole by "le holy knights"
Illiterate eastaboo. Was preceded by the massacre of the Latins. And before that centuries of Byzantine attempts to take over Italy, control the papacy, etc. Don't give me that good/evil crap. You're an adult aren't you?

>"torture and intolerance of europe"
>he fell for black legend protestant propaganda

>Byzantine attempts to take over Italy, control the papacy,
Yes, because God forbid the empire could've been reunited(even by force) under a church that didn't act like it's own parallel state.

Blood for blood. The descendants of the Goths and the Lombards had their revenge, led by the Normans and with help of other Latins. Had they no right to attack the Roman emperor of Greece when there was already a Roman emperor of Germany? Your bias is untenable to a modern person

very low quality thread

>>19579121
>Roman emperor of Germany?
Rofl. All emperors worth their salt are rolling in their graves.
>The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy nor Roman nor an empire.
Yes, I am very biassed.

Why is Mother Mary holding her breast?

>>19578997
So wouldn't this just spur the abused on to report the act?

>>19578567
>Did this nigga forget that the eastern churches were exclusively lead by caesaropapist emperors?
Eastern churches had and still have autocephaly. That made their individual dioceses too autonomous and too disjointed to become a powerhouse that secular powers have to respect and fear, so said secular powers mostly left them alone until the modern era.

Also, Dosto was shitting on Russian Orthodox Church even more violently.

>The descendants of the Goths and the Lombards had their revenge, led by the Normans and with help of other Latins.
I'm not familiar with these events. Where can I read up on this part of the story?

>>19578603
Westerners Catholicized the world. Catholicism didn’t Christianize the world.

>>19579053
>Massacre of Latins
The very first thing the emperor did after this occured (there was no actual massacre of Latins, some Venetians allied themselves with the wrong political party in Constantinople and payed the price) and payed them greatly in reparations
The Romans didn't try to take over Italy
They already had control over southern Italy from earlier times. They never even tried to take Rome back, what are you talking about?
Are "Catholics" capable of not lying?
>>19578567
Because that's not true?
Eastern churches allowed much greater diversity of opinion and don't blow up into a 4000 sects over minor disagreements
They pretend to split for a generation until people get bored and bygones are bygones
