Creation of the Church of Greece by the Germans is the cause of the collapse of Christian Orthodoxy.
All conflict between Catholic and Orthodox church comes from the fact that the East had a Roman Emperor whereas the West had Romanness destroyed by Lombards and Franks.
The Pope tried to play a Roman Emperor, thus the FAKE theological differences.
Protestanism became possible from the Gutenberg Printing Press.
Once scripture became cheaply available to anybody who could read with no theological education, Protestanism became inevitable.
Anybody now could be a theologian.
There is no difference between St. Gregory Palamas and St. Thomas Aquinas.
The Aquinas - Palamas conflict is FAKE as it reflects political differences between Roman Emperor in Constantinople and Pope as Emperor in the West, not theological ones.
Oriental Churches became disastrous because they gave up Roman Universality for the Local Tribe Identity, Armenian, Coptic, etc.
They have almost gone extinct.
Orthodoxy started heading towards extinction with the creation of Church of Greece by Germans, then the creation of Bulgarian, Serbian and Romanian churches by the Russians.
Same format as the Oriental Churches 1500 years earlier.
The problem with Protestantism is that it has no saints.
Catholic/Orthodox Saints are delightful, and they say the exact same thing.
Saints are APPLIED CHRISTIANITY.
Lack of Saints caused the breakdown of Protestantism into 3000 pieces.
Saints vs Lack of Saints has created a huge vacuum between Catholic/Orthodox vs Protestants.
Saints always focus on Harmony between Heaven and Earth.
Removing the Heaven factor showed by Saints, Protestantism focused on the Earth part only.
Being Earth Focused with no Saints, Protestantism brought immense technological and economical advances, but it created Marxism/Boshevism as reaction as well.
Synodality of Orthodox Churches is entirely fake.
There is no Synodality.
All Churches are Ethnic Churches, except for the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
I have yet to meet a normal catholic church goer who understands what Papal Infallibility means.
Papal Infallibility was invented in 1870 Vatican I Council after the Pope became de facto a prisoner of the Italian State.
It means NOTHING, just nothing, it's political move.
Orthodox Churches have accepted Papal Primacy coming from Justinian's Pentarchy.
Orthodox Churches will never accepted Papal Infallibility.
However, relying on Justinian's laws 1500 years ago to fix current divisions (not schism) is entirely idiotic.
I don't really know how one could try to be a Christian without reference to actual application of Christianity through the centuries, hence Saints.
It is a mystery to me how a Protestant can call her/himself a Christian without any traditional, historical reference.
We are very lucky to have true life long empirical experts of Catholicism on twitter, @johnmilbank3 and @MassimoFaggioli who tell us what is happening inside Catholicism and their views as well.
1/
@johnmilbank3@MassimoFaggioli That is in very, very, very sharp contrast with "recent converts" like Sohrab Ahmari and Adrian Vermeule.
Ahmari and Vermeule were born and raised in Shiism and Protestanism respectively, they have 0 Catholic empirical experience.

Digitalization of European medieval archives during the last 20 years has caused true earthquakes among Western Historians.
Now, there is no more need to wait for seats at european medieval archives, all studies can be done on computer screens with PDF pages.
1/
Concepts like NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE IN THE 13TH C are now deemed as fake in Historiography.
So, Balkan historians who used to be employed by Governments to simply fabricate history, can no longer do that. Their fellow European and American colleagues simply laugh at them.
2/
This situation has created a Conflict between the Academic Class of Balkan States with their own Governments, as their work is no longer accepted for publishing in European universities and research papers.

If a Global Currency no longer counts 100% of all trade flows, then supply chains are breaking down.
Now, a great portion of "trade" is for financial engineering flows, outside the real economy.
USD is being used less for the real trade and more for financial engineering.
2/3
There is no imminent or future replacement in sight for USD to do the job of global currency, hence supply chains are breaking down, due to lack of solid numeraire, that USD used to be.
