>>10150449>So the infighting over which Church was boss, Catholic or Orthodox, that split and divided former imperial regions and led to the decay of Roman successor states was not due to Christianity? Catholics sacking Orthodox Constantinople before the Muslims ever could, and weaken them to the point that Byzantium fell to Turks (and later the entire Balkans), wasn't due to Christian infighting?I was specifically describing the period of the fall of Western Rome - 5-6th cent AD. The Great schism was in the XI cent. Sacking of Constantinople was in the XIII. We were discussing the Fall of the (Western) Roman Empire not the high middle ages.
Your entire argument is invalid and flawed from the start, and my initial response to you was so on point that you had to go like 500 years forward aftrer the 'fall of Rome" supposedly caused by abandonong roman paganism (lol) to strawman yourself out of it
