by Archbishop Chrysostomos of Etna and Bishop Auxentios of Photiki
“The purpose of the present book[...]is to provide a sharp contrast—perhaps a bit too sharp at times—between the Roman West and the Byzantine East, between the Church of Rome and the Eastern Orthodox Churches from which the Roman Catholic Church emerged and to which it was once so closely bound as a Church of Orthodox Martyrs, Saints, and Hierarchs. The Orthodox Christian who thinks that he is an ‘Eastern Catholic,’ who belongs to a Church that differs from the Church of Rome only by virtue of its married clergy and an ‘Eastern Pope’ in Constantinople, will be shocked by what he reads in these pages. For, indeed, the Eastern and Western Churches are still as far from one another as the east is from the west.” —“Introduction”
