1. 'Ackshually: The Movie'

2. My understanding, Eastern Catholics don't use filioque.

3. What's most painful in this Great Schism IMO, is simple fact that West and East Churches differences on theological matters weren't so big to make unity impossible. Latins and Greeks disputed fervently, but they were still within the boundaries of The Faith. What really divided us was hunger of power and ignorance of people who were obligated to shepherd the faithful.

4. Okay. Very well done and funny. Now, when are we finally going to bury the hatchet and re-unite ?!

5. Lol

6. As for the bread. I do not think it matters.

   But, the Greek word artos means leavened bread. It is used in every rendering of the establishment of the eucharist. The passages even speak of the feast of the unleavened (bread) when referring to Passover, still they use the Greek word which means leavened. There is a special word in Greek when referring to unleavened bread otherwise it is assumed that it is normal bread. So Jesus used leavened bread for the eucharist.

   So unless you think the evangelists who spoke Greek didn't understand Greek, or that they made a mistake when describing the establishment of the eucharist, you kind of have to agree that they used leavened bread.

   To make it clear, the text uses the word for feast of the unleavened, but mentions the bread as artos, which usually designates normal bread. Why use confusing terms when it is easier to understand that the evangelists specified in their own text that the bread was different.

   I in fact like both symbolistic explanations: unleavened symbolizing the purity and sinlessness of Christ, and the leavened symbolizing his fullness of humanity, both are good symbols and I do not think there is a theological problem with either type of bread.

7. Hey Bojan why Orthodox Church recognises or accepts Roman Catholic baptism????

8. What about the Crusaders who went to the Byzantine Empire and stole everything taking it back to the West? These Crusaders said they were going to the Holy Land and went nowhere near the Holy Land!

9. Rejected papal infallibility only to end up with 16 popes.

10. Roman catholic here. I hold in high esteem the faith, liturgy and spirituality of the Orthodox Churches (whether Greek, Russian or Oriental). This makes the pain of our visible division even greater. I wish we could overcome it with the help of God.
    In this spirit, can an orthodox lay down for me, what the orthodox Churches would require from us Latins to do in order to overcome the schism? Suppose we Catholics were ready to do anything you ask, what would you Orthodox ask for? I ask in spirit of charity, to make an examination of OURS (Catholic) difficulties.

11. Today I learned that I wanna be yeastern orthodox. 🙂

12. Agni Parthene is indeed a nice hymn. The Valaam version is best imo. My favourite hymn though is Be Thou my Vision. But that might be because I'm Irish and biased 😛 Also, my church (Church of Ireland, Anglican) uses leavened bread (the use of unleavened is against our canon law), we don't bow down to the pope, we're considering dropping the filioque, we don't have sola scriptura (we have a 3-legged stool: prima scriptura, tradition of the early church fathers & reason), and our primate bears the title Metropolitan (as well as Arch-Bishop… and Primate). Can we be friends with the Orthodox? 😀

13. The amount of times the protestants spilt up is immeasurable

14. Hahaha excellent vid!

15. so basically it's Bulgarians fault 😉

16. as a Bulgarian, this is the first time i have ever heard anything like this. i am sorry

17. The Churches : fighting over bread
    People who are suffering and lost in sin : 💧 👁👄👁💧

18. Ok Looked for the second half but never found it. If you didn't make it you should

19. This kind of content would be good for a sunday school. I say this unironically.

20. 6:29 It seems like the image is implying, and I have heard Eastern Orthodox Christians say before, that the Filioque somehow confuses the Trinity makes the Holy Spirit a lesser person. However, I am unaware of the reasoning behind this position- could anyone explain?

21. One reason why I panic when I hear the word Byzantine is because the West turned it into a dirty word. When they call us Byzantines, they are calling us cheats and scheming liars. I've experienced this from a die hard Roman Catholic when he told me I was byzantine and then said, " You know what that means, rrrrrright???" Then he proceeded to tell me that I needed to study the Photian Schism and how that's when the Orthodox Church really went into schism.

    I didn't have the heart to tell him that his own Pope John Paul II canonized St. Photius a Catholic Saint.

    But anyway, you're the priest and I'm the lay person, so I'll just submit and start using the word "Byzantine."

22. "i'm catholic but i don't believe in real presence" we really are down bad tho 🙁

23. WHAT'S A GOOD BOOK ON THE 1054 SCHISM?

24. Let us pray that we be healed of this schism and that we all become one.

25. If it's too tiring to say East Roman Empire just call them Romans, not Byzantines. Is this short enough?😉

26. Never trought you would talk about the christinization of the first bulgarian empire

27. 3:21 We do call it “Roman chant” in the Coptic church

28. Jew fast on Mondays?

29. U are Serbian your argument is invalid

30. Me: B-But it was the Eastern Roman Empire! We wuz Roma-
