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 1397 Views
I think about as highly of athiesm as I do of christianity. *NM* - 10/03/2012 05:54:20 AM 389 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 608 Views
If the divine made men... - 10/03/2012 06:27:42 AM 601 Views
True, but by the same token, in denying our nature we deny the divine. - 10/03/2012 06:57:40 AM 618 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 633 Views
Thanks? It is all Dans fault, really. - 10/03/2012 07:21:19 AM 898 Views
But you do comparable things all the time! - 10/03/2012 08:35:31 AM 827 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 718 Views
You said what I was thinking far more respectfully than I probably would have. - 11/03/2012 12:14:55 AM 687 Views
... and apparently it was a waste of time - 11/03/2012 03:27:04 AM 618 Views
Perhaps he just missed it in all my spam? - 11/03/2012 04:59:31 AM 691 Views
Basically what Isaac said. *NM* - 10/03/2012 07:22:07 PM 341 Views
who? *NM* - 11/03/2012 12:00:13 AM 319 Views
Me - 11/03/2012 03:31:51 AM 668 Views
You're right and wrong. - 10/03/2012 05:09:32 PM 1044 Views

Nope, Buddhists are explicitly atheist and also explicitly Ontologically engaged - 11/03/2012 01:39:20 AM 943 Views
Actually, Buddhists are not explicitly atheist in the conventional sense of the world. - 11/03/2012 02:42:36 AM 751 Views
Yeah, that's very true. - 11/03/2012 03:27:09 PM 825 Views
My Buddhist readings are definitely Tibet-focused. - 11/03/2012 04:00:17 PM 899 Views
Duplicate post *NM* - 11/03/2012 03:28:58 PM 406 Views
What exactly do you mean by "The irreparable damage it inflicted in the Great Schism"? - 10/03/2012 07:57:59 PM 804 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 716 Views
Bull. Shit. - 11/03/2012 01:54:07 AM 796 Views
I did not say it was decisive, but that it did irreparable damage to the relationship. - 11/03/2012 04:23:43 AM 820 Views
Bull. Shit. - 11/03/2012 04:30:08 AM 684 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 761 Views
Bull. Shit. - 11/03/2012 05:14:01 AM 829 Views
Irreparable damage is damage that cannot be repaired, not necessarily serious or fatal. - 11/03/2012 10:34:57 AM 898 Views

Very edifying; can you do Mandarin or Swahili next? - 12/03/2012 05:47:23 PM 766 Views
No. Even English seems to be beyond your grasp. - 12/03/2012 06:29:50 PM 671 Views
Citing scripture does not justify telling me to kill myself. - 13/03/2012 12:08:02 AM 812 Views
I'm not telling you to; God is. - 13/03/2012 12:35:45 AM 589 Views
Or can only you use that sort of specious logic? *NM* - 13/03/2012 03:50:20 PM 301 Views
And re: particular bullshit - 11/03/2012 02:33:15 PM 780 Views
Re: And re: particular bullshit - 13/03/2012 12:07:42 AM 700 Views
Give it up already. You are wrong. - 12/03/2012 12:53:37 AM 975 Views
