      @@Kai_Stwosz If you would like a more in-depth analysis, Father Panayiotis (the video's presenter) has done a video about this topic. You can also search online on Saint John Chrysostom and Original Sin. Very briefly we can say that the Orthodox do not believe we inherit the guilt of Adam and Eve, we inherit their fallen condition. God did not state their punishment, He stated the consequences of their actions. We lost paradise because we fell out of communion with God, we regain it by healing our souls. We heal our souls by moving toward His likeness. This is achieved by eliminating what we call passions (passions are actions we do involuntarily like addictions, wanting material wealth, gluttony, etc.) We do not think of sin as an affront to God's sense of judgment, sin is something that takes us away from his likeness.

    Fascinating to ponder the impact of Arius centuries after his condemnation. In no small way, the animosity between the West (especially western Europe) and Russia today is a consequence of the Arian heresy. Words matter. Just one Latin word has impacted all of subsequent world history. A unified Roman empire may have been able to keep Islam contained to Arabia and Persia.

    The silence of the West after the Germanic invasions: these tribes had all adopted Arianism, meaning that the rulers of the West were opposed to the orthodox/catholic church. This persisted through 508 when the first Germanic leader, Clovis, was converted to Catholicism. In Italy Arianism persisted through the middle of 7th century and in Spain the beginning of the 8th century. This means that the rulers of the West largely opposed the Councils through the 5th Ecumenical Council in 553.
    Another historical point I would add: Charlemagne had himself crowned emperor in 800 in part because he claimed that the throne was empty, was currently usurped by a woman (Empress Irene). The 7th Ecumenical Council in 787 did not suffer from any defect in the eyes of people at that time because Irene had convoked it when she was merely regent for her son Constantine VI. Charlemagne therefore was not claiming to be emperor of the West but of the entire theoretical empire (then massively conquered by Islamic armies in both East and West).
    These political points may seem irrelevant but it is a fact of Church history that the Councils were convoked by the emperor in every case, starting with Constantine the Great in 325AD. The emperor therefore has a kind of sacramental role as protector of the Faith, Peacemaker and Shepherd. This can be seen in the term Melkite, which in the Levant designated "the Imperial Church" as opposed to others in the region (Miaphysite or Nestorian).

Arguments for universal papal authority and then infallibility came later.

    It’s still a little confusing, but thank you for adding a little clarity.
    This is far above my pay grade…
    But can it be acknowledged by the eastern orthodox churches that the Catholics are still Christians? A difference in the understanding of who is sending the Holy Spirit, how is it a deal breaker? That’s where I get confused. The Spirit proceeds from the Father, and is sent by the Son…? I know plenty who will call Catholics satanic over this and I think it’s a little crazy.
    As for the unleavened bread, is that a heresy? When Jesus sent His disciples to “go make ready the Passover,” there were specific things that they did which could only be on the Passover. One item specifically was getting offered lamb, which could only be done in the Temple. Secondly, during the first 2 nights of Passover, the Jews eat 2 Passover meals/Seders. So the difference between Thursday and Friday is moot. Also, what we understand as Thursday night, it’s actually a Friday evening on a Jewish clock.
    Anyways, thank you for this video.

And since I was about 18, I don't say the "filioque" during the Creed at Mass on Sunday, either. I can't be alone.
    "Together with the Father and the Son, He is worshipped and glorified." Correct. So how on earth do we get to the Holy Spirit's proceeding "from" the Father AND the Son? Theological nonsense.

      Filioque has a proper understanding (through the Son in an economic sense) and the heretical double procession. For centuries the first one was the understood interpretation. It wasn’t until just before the schism that the Roman flipped and decided no double procession is the “proper” interpretation even though the popes of Rome had previously condemned the position and agreed that they couldn’t add it to the Creed.

    Nah. Doesn't make sense this way. The Holy Spirit is not a secret from Jesus. The Holy Spirit, The Father, and Our Lord Jesus Christ are ONE God. To say that the Holy Spirit only proceeds from The Father is to say that Jesus plays no role and that is erroneous... One Holy Triune God does not keep secrets from one another, they act simultaneously with the same motives.
    The West, aka Rome, did not lose connections and there was no loss of interpretation or knowledge. St Jerome had long since wrote the Holy Bible in Latin as interpreted from original in 383 and the schism didnt occur until 700 years afterwards. Latin was universal language in Jesus's time as well as up until Constantine in Constanople ... The East was conquered by ☪ANCER.

Therefore, we should absolutely recognise Jesus's instructions when HE told us that HE would send us the Paraclete.
      I understand your perception- I agree.
