Because it's true! They haven't been relevant to any discourse for centuries, when given the chance they won't even expand their influence beyond some countries in Eastern Europe.
>>You want to look at the consequences, but you want to ignore the causes. What do we call such behavior?
The cause of that consequence is clear, the massacred the Latins and the Latins came back with violence. What do we call people who reject facts?
>A mere fact that could support the exact opposite argument of yours. Furthermore, we Orthodox do not consider Patriarchs the equivalent of a Pope (popes occupy a position of power similar to the Pagan Roman High Priests). Our Patriarchs are fallible human beings, servants and members of the body of Christ, the Orthodox Church, and each body part has its own position to fill. Some are called to lead, some to follow. If you want to be first, prepare to be last. The Orthodox Church is not of this world.
This is a very good argument why Eastern Orthodoxy won't last, if you think something is only outside of this world then why live? What even is the meaning of life when all you want is death?? Patriarchs are often fighting against each other these days, I wonder if the other world really wants that to happen.
>Not at all. Reality is not simple, much less when we trace it back throughout history. You don't have a good reason, you have no reason at all, just desire.
It is much simpler than you think, just like in this case you see the Massacre of the Latins as good but when they came back for revenge it's bad, I seriously think that whatever philosophical book you're reading is harming your way of thinking.
