Ok‚ lots on my mind so I’ll try and make this understandable. I’ll start this by saying I’m Jewish‚ don’t celebrate Christmas‚ and never have done Christmas shopping.

An example of this would be when Michael Cerularius trampled on the Eucharist. This illustrates how eastern patriarchs had no one to hold them accountable for their actions. I also think the West was right in saying priests should have to remain celibate. The Eastern Church didn’t hold this practice. Priests model themselves
