>Also only Eastern Christians large-scale came under the jurisdiction of the Pope, not other way round
Shame on us for not being oppressive and forcibly converting, eh.
You think the Orthodox were just aching to submit to the pope? Orthodox Christian Romanians were persecuted by the Austrian Roman Catholics in the 18th century, the Hasburg ruler ordered destruction of all Romanian Orthodox churches and monasteries. Only sabata de Sus Monastery survived and it still has damage from the cannon fire. Not to mention the priests, monks and laymen that were killed. That's how the Romanian Eastern Catholic Church got converts, the Romanians got threatened with violence and even death if they didn't convert to Catholicism, so the Eastern Catholic Church became a compromise between Orthodoxy and Catholicism. The same thing happened with the Ukranians, and to the Serbs during WW2 under the ustashe.
So hey, jokes on us for not being violent savages!
