@ThxGod It'sOver Egypt is practically part of the Middle East. It has had closer ties to it and Europe than it ever did to Sub-Saharan Africa.. Also the Egyptian language belongs in the same language family as Semitic, very different to Sub-Saharan African languages.
@ThxGod It'sOver What is this copy-paste BS? who colonized Egypt? The people there now are the same race as the people in ancient times. Following the Arab conquest of Egypt, they only lost their religion, nothing more. Egyptians continued speaking the Egyptian language up until a few hundred years ago when the Ottomans took it over, then they fully adopted Arabic. I think I know what you're trying to get at here and the ancient Egyptians were not black.. this is pretty evident. Also when ancient Greek explorers came, they didn't encounter any black people until they reached Ethiopia, which at the time, just meant anywhere south of Egypt. Look up the origin of the name "Ethiopia" and you will see what its name means. It would make no sense for it to have this name if Egypt was black too.
What has that have to do with anything. Christians are as free to practice their faith as they like as long as they do not go within the boundaries of politics and I am no supporter of the CCP in fact I am as critical as you are
The body will always be one because the body was never a church, but Jesus' collective people/followers. The church of Christ is not a place or organization. Matthew 23:8-11
@@Aethelvlad I agree with you in an essential aspect, but do not forget that Christ came to spread the knowledge of the Kingdom of God. A kingdom has a King, jurisdiction, law, hierarchy, ministeries, due process, tradition, an official language, a capital, history... It has a FOUNDATION IN STONE. That foundation is the Authority given to Peter and the institution of the Papacy. If you believe in the Bible, you must necesarily believe the church that MADE the Biblical Cannon was INSPIRED. And that church, that took 400 years to make the Bible a reality, had a Roman Sede, marian dogmas, eucharist, altar and the once and eternal Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It's understandable it takes time and hard work to understand the Christian faith and it's history, but rejecting knowledge and neglecting research to preserve our bias (or because of lazyness) won't be a valid argument during judgement day. The revelation warns of a False Prophet and the prostitute, and it clearly symbolices the Roman Catholic Church. Does this mean RC is evil or false? No, it means that the False Prophet has to come from a legitimate church. Roman Catholicism wouldn't be in the BIBLE if it was just another Christian denomination. Do your research on the Early Church and read the commentaries of Saint Ignacious of Anthioch, amongst others... TRADITIONAL ROMAN CATHOLICISM (pre Vatican II council) is the perfect form of the Christian Faith. Peace of God be with you.

Thank you pope Francis I've never felt separate to anyone who follows the gospel of Jesus Christ, this has given me great joy I'm a catholic but more Importantly a Christian... I pray for your good health pope Francis and all the cardinals, bishops,priests and all who preach the gospels... 🙏🙏🙏Lord Jesus watch over them and give them strength Amen.
Pope Francis is looking for allies to reel in for his 'climate change' and immigration agendas. If he succeeds, it will not work out well for the Orthodox. History will only repeat itself. If you study the history, you will see that it was a very painful one, and the Orthodox suffered immeasurably. I'm Catholic but seriously considered becoming Orthodox largely because of the direction Pope Francis is leading the Church and the corruption, especially the pedophile ("Lavender") mafia operating at the highest levels of the Catholic hierarchy. Pope Francis not only shielded McCarrick but many others from prosecution. Don't get me wrong, the Orthodox have their internal problems, too, but teddy bear compared to the Roman corruption. In the end, I decided to stay Catholic because I believe the dogmas of faith to be the true, albeit it's not practiced nor taught by most of the clergy. Priests are more concerned about being liked by parishioners and not pissing off their bishops then being living examples of our Catechism.
@@titati8227 Lol many pedo priests and a corrupt cardinal (Pope Francis' close ally) was indicted. Aren't that enough to you??? That isn't humiliating the church though, it is reforming the church from the rot caused by worldly popes like John Paul II that called the death of Russians under economic shock therapy as "miracle from God" and collaborating with the neoliberal Reagan.
@@titati8227 Its good that you thought about dogma when you made the decision. It is really the most important thing when choosing papism or orthodoxy. However how could you ignore filioque? The saints who gathered to create the nicene creed, supported their beliefs by miracles and as a result we have to accept the creed of the holy fathers as the truthful one. Any addition or taking away from the creed would alter it. The Roman Catholic doctrine concerning the Holy Spirit is not as it should be. For in the original Nicean Creed (Council of Nicea 381 AD), agreed upon by the Holy fathers and protectors of God's Church, through the Holy Spirit (agreeing upon it as one and in the Spirit), it is written about the Holy Spirit: "..the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified..." Yet, when the catholic church ...changed what the creed said, and stated that the Holy Spirit " proceeds from the Father and the Son." Thus breaking the unity and equality of the Trinity by saying the Holy Spirit is less than the Father and the Son. This new saying is a heresy. For even Christ spoke of the Holy Spirit only proceeding from the Father: “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.” (John 15:26) But in addition to the dogmatic issue raised by the filioque, the Byzantines argued that the word was added unilaterally and, therefore, illegitimately, since the East had never been consulted. In the final analysis, only another ecumenical council could make such an alteration. Besides, the councils which drew up the original Creed had expressly forbidden any subtraction or addition to the text. The West’s tampering with the major creedal formula of the Church is, therefore, unacceptable.
Can't believe I hear this . There's something very powerful and holy about this trip . A time perhaps to put judgements aside ,thank the Lord for this, and know the Holy Spirit guides the Church. Pope Francis needs our prayers ,he's human too ! Prayers for the Eastern Orthodox Patriarchy as well . 💖
It is worse now than those times. Those days there was no telephone even, except slow mail. Current technology makes current hierarchy to be gods themselves, by passing all Jesus teachings and the 10 commandments. Atleast Orthodox still go with traditions where as we have bowed to satan.
@@amrod4024 Both Catholics and Eastern Orthodox do believe and practice the commandments. It's the whole point ! To become new people in Christ we must abandon the ways of the world. Our saints are the best examples of this ! Colossians Chapter 3. To fallow Christ is to live by the commandments, there's no place for the lukewarm as God will spit them out, Revelation. We both believe this . Once a person becomes close to God there's no choice to become obedient to His will ( commandments ) .
@Buddy The church is not divided. The Church is one. Protestants and Roman Catholics are outside of The Church and outside of Christendom. They need to be baptized into the Church. They need to be evangelized just as the atheists, Muslims, and the rest do. Ecumenism is heresy.
I want to say as a Catholic, is never to late to say sorry for hurting our greek Christian brothers and sisters. But saying sorry is not enough and actions need to be taken. I love you all my Orthodox Christian brothers and sisters and I pray to out Lord Jesus to unite again as we were originally.
I agree. We orthodox are not proud people. Apologies are not that important. What matters for us is the return of Rome to the orthodox faith and that's not yet done.
@@srfrg9707 As a Catholic, that would be nice. A system like that in the early Church would be great I think. The Patriarchs being more like a brotherhood, with the Pope's authority being just the privilege of sitting in the nicest chair in the Ecumenical Council, and not much more than that. I feel it's unacceptable that the two most important Patriarchs in the Christian Church (Rome and Constantinople) are not together. This statement from Pope John Paul II illustrates it perfectly: "The Church *must* breathe with her two lungs"
@@crusaderACR Despite what most people think the two most important patriarchates are neither Rome and Constantinople. It's Jerusalem and Antioch. Jerusalem because Jesus promised "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 This means, in my modest opinion, that the Church of Jerusalem will last until the day of judgment since it will occur only after the Gospel has reached all places on the earth. Therefore any Church that is not in communion with the Patriarch of Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria is in big trouble. The other most important is the Patriarchate of Antioch and all the East, because that's where saint Peter founded the Church. It's therefore the fist in the chronological order despite being the last in the protocol. Jesus promised to Peter that the doors of hell will not prevail but also that the last will be the first. That means that despite being the last in the protocol it is the first in God's own hierarchy and since it was the first it will play an important role in the last times. On the other hand Rome and Constantinople were the political capitals of the roman empire and that's where their importance come from rather than from their holiness. In reality the Patriarch of Constantinople has not even 4000 sheep left and is hostage of the Turks. Rome is more concerned by accommodating to the temporal world than following Christ. No disrespect intended.
@@srfrg9707 In the very early Christian Church, before Constantinople even existed, that may have been the case. But not since the First Council of Constantinople. A council recognized by the Catholics and the Orthodox, that happened in the 4th century so way before the schism. In fact, it's recognized by Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans, Anglicans and even Calvinists! Specifically, the Third Canon, which reads: "The Bishop of Constantinople, however, shall have the prerogative of honour after the Bishop of Rome, because Constantinople is New Rome." This was indeed controversial because it dethroned Alexandria as the second, and put Constantinople right after (Old) Rome. The Bishop of Rome (the title Pope wasn't used yet) complained about the part "because Constantinople is the New Rome" which, as you say, implied the reasons to be earthly in nature, and went as far as to claim that part was added without his knowledge. Apparently it wasn't, it was likely just language barriers. Everyone complained about many things, but note that *no one* complained about it taking Rome as *first* Prerogative of Honor. In fact, the Canon *assumes* it as an established notion. In the early Church it just meant the fanciest chair in any Council is for the Bishop of Rome, and the second fanciest to Constantinople, and no powers beyond that. But it still leaves the fact: *Rome and Constantinople ARE the MOST important Apostolic Sees.* Which again, brings back the tragedy of both Apostolic seats to be divided.
@@crusaderACR "... because Constantinople is New Rome" Exactly what I said. That's protocol order, not sanctity. They are important because those were the capitals. The Roman empire exists no more. Christianity has nothing to do with the Roman empire. In Luke 22:24 Jesus told us that the temporal kings lord it over the nations and justify their authority by calling themselves benefactors. He gave that example to tell us not to be like them bur rather to be servants of each other and honor the last more than the first. You Roman Catholics are told to do the exact opposite, to submit to the Roman Pontiff because he's a benefactor (Unam Sacram). We have also many orthodox who behave the same way and need a human monarch to feel good. That's why God punished us by giving us the sultans as monarchs. The lesson was rude and some haven't learn it yet and still dream about reestablishing a new Basileus. We need to listen to Christ rather than following our own human thoughts.
@@RPlavo The Filioque wasn't even noticed by the non Latin Churches until after the schism due to langauge barriers. Like actually, the cause of the schism was political, there were theological divdes, but they were living with them for a while, and most cropped up after. It was political.
History proves catholic actions down to expansion and increased wealth and power religious beliefs used as a excuse , its religion is all based on people never having met jesus just writings about visions and dreams becoming facts nearly a hundred years later, like Chinese whispers .
The filioque was very much noticed before the schism. Pope Leo III officially banned it being added to the Creed and condemned the Libri Carolini. The Frankish missionaries in Bulgaria were accusing the Greeks of removing it from the Creed, and the Greeks were livid. There's a reason why it was never used in Rome until 1014, when even the city fell to the demonic teachings of the filioque, which seeks to usurp the doctrine of the Monarchy of the Father. The really obvious differences arose later with the West adopting Thomism, and the Council of Lyons, etc. After that there was no doubt that we were now two separate religions. If anything is political, it's the attepmts of "reunificiation", because we can unite with Rome as much as we can with Anglicans, Lutherans, or Calvinists, that is to say, it's impossible.

@@srfrg9707 Our theology is perfectly orthodox (in lower case). The differences we have do not break any of the verdicts done in the Ecumenical Councils before the schism. How we should approach this is to tolerate these extra things that do *not* go against Church orthodoxy. Does Immaculate Conception go against any Eastern Orthodox council? It does not, because it isn't even mentioned. So let's leave it as an aspect of a Particular Church, and if it is ever considered really important, we could just arrange a Council with everyone present, Eastern Orthodox included, and we go from there. Personally, I don't see any particular dealbreaker. Edit: Papal Primacy might be a dealbreaker. Oops. But I have a few ideas. One is to make a council (where both West and East attend) to make it so Primacy gets limitations/restrictions within the jurisdictions of the other Patriarchs, and keep it just for the Western Church.
I think I would just warn everyone that if you attack the Orthodox Church for something, then you need to think carefully about whether or not you are also attacking the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church among others.

It’s absolutely appropriate to engage in dialogue with separated brethren and to strive to achieve reconciliation and unity in a spirit of mutual respect but this woke apology garbage centuries after the fact has never gotten anyone anywhere, and never will. It’s self-sanctifying, irrelevant to the present cause, and ultimately demeaning to both parties.
People with the spirit of discernment can see through this charade of ecumenism. If the Catholic church repents of its sins and returns to the true church of the apostles it will be welcome. But cleary Francis is drifiting further into error...pray for him as our father asked us to.
Not true at all. It's not about Francis, it has been official doctrine of the Catholic Church to focus all its efforts into unification and dialogue for 70 years now. This stuff began with Pope Paul in the mid 20th century. Let me stress this: It is *doctrine.* Francis has no say on the matter anymore (not to say he would complain), he must seek by Church consensus a union within the Christian Church.
Catholic church and orthodox church are same in faith. I pray sincerely for the absolute unity of both our churches. It so sad to see the people keeping same doctrines to remain as two different entities.
Why would he apologize? The Orthodox agreed to reunion at Florence and then backed out! If the reunion should take place the Orthodox should apologize for not keeping to their word! And make a public confession that they were the ones who broke the union at Florence; that it was their fault the church hasn't been one since then. And then the Pope should sent the terms and beliefs for reunion with those of the council of Florence! The Orthodox must agree to the same terms and beliefs that their spiritual fathers agreed to in the 15th century! We had union because of that Ecumenical council. Instead of union with the body of Christ the Orthodox wanted to be ruled by the Turks. They even said as much when they pridefully stated "Rather the Turkish turban than the Papal miter." They got what they wanted and are still suffering because of it! I guarantee that once the Orthodox acknowledge that they were in the wrong and agree to reunion with the rest of the body of Christ the Hagia Sophia will return to Christians!

One of the most important reasons for the breaking communion in 1056 was that the pope wanted to change the creed of the church. So yes the mistakes did have to do with Jesus and the Gospel.

@@diegobarragan4904 The Catholic Church is not solely a church of men, it's a church governed by God. Either you believe the church is guided by the Holy Spirit or you don't. Either you believe Jesus Christ is the head of the church or you don't. God would have never let the church be bound to a dogma that is not true. There was a reason that the filioque was added which was to combat heresy at the time. So extra knowledge was added to the dogma to combat this heresy. It's really not that crazy of an idea. Even the eastern churches that have come back into communion with the Holy See don't add the Filioque to the Nicene Creed. Saying that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father is okay. Saying the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father AND the Son does not contradict the previous statement, it is just more knowledge.
@@krimbii when you say church you mean the see of Rome. That’s not what the Church is. The Church is the body of Christ, not symbolicly but in reality mystically. The church was never isolated to Rome. So we say that the church never defected, but has always preserved the apostolic doctrine in perfect purity. It’s Rome that literally cut itself off from the unity of the church by going off on their own to change the very creed that unites the faith of the Church. Rome defected from the Church, the Church itself never lost its oneness and purity. And you contradicted yourself , first you said that we have to add the Filioque but then say that the Uniates don’t even add it into their creed. Rome doesn’t care about oneness of faith, only about submission to the pope. That’s why Nestoriaus is allowed to be venerated within the Catholic Church now

This is the first time that an apology is given, which, by itself, is a very good thing..... But is it enough ? Given the extent of the damage and pain inflicted to the Orthodox by the centuries-long persecution by the Papacy, this apology is not taken seriously by many... Is it real or simply nothing more than good politics ? This apology is indeed a belated response and, given the extent of the harm done, it is in the eyes of many Orthodox not so gracious as it is presented in the West....
