The 1,500 year old schism fuelling the clash between Russia and the West
[...]
The conflict in Ukraine is but one manifestation of this ancient rivalry that doesn’t show any signs of abating with time. Thousands of fanatics from both sides have already poured into Ukraine driven by the ancient hatreds that have plagued Christianity for so long. German Greens, Swedish Liberals and American Republicans are united in their desire to uphold Western Christianity while on the other side Russian volunteers are expected to be joined by Armenians, Cypriots, and Egyptian Copts as the conflict escalates into a defining confrontation at the heart of Christianity.
To most outsiders these disagreements about calendars and theological debates appear outdated and irrelevant. They prefer to talk instead of geopolitical and economic factors, obscuring the role of the ancient East-West schism in the process. But the reality is that Ukraine, and probably other countries too, will become the stage for a proxy war between those rival power, with Russia on the one side representing Orthodox Christianity and the US on the other leading the Western Christian alliance. Can we stop this descent into madness? Let’s pray.
