Re: A Pagan Byzantium?
I believe that emperor Paleologos who tried to have an agreement with catholics was right.Instead the Orthodox church fought him underground and wellcomed Mohamed as a saviour!If Byzantium adopted catholic faith i believe that the other catholics of Europe maybe helped Greeks to liberate from Ottomans sooner!
Orthodox church ,with some exeptions,was against any effort of revolution .Even 1821 Patriach execommunicated the revolutionaries!
Orthodox faith was a disaster for hellenic people!
