Your theological argumentation is a bit captious as it erroneously suggests that the schism between Orthodox Christians and other Christian churches --or pseudo-Christian churches as you'd have it-- stems entirely from their connection/relation with Judaism and the Jews?!? Greetings Gustave, I'm confused. I posted a link to an article on a true Orthodox website, which exposes the evils of the Talmud, Kabbalah, Masonry, Zionism and Judaism, to show you that true Orthodox Christians are not proponents of these evil doctrines, nor do they accept terminology such as "Judeo-Christian". And yet you respond with some information about when the schismatic and heretical Latins tore themselves from the body of Christ, severing themselves completely from the Church. Notice the first crusade came in 1095, about 40 years after Constantinople excommunicated the heretical Pope. The Orthodox Church never has accepted the notion of universal primacy of the Pope, nor had she any part in the crusades of the Latins, except to say that she was herself a victim of the crusaders for instance when Constantinople was sacked in 1204. My point of posting a link to that article was to correct the misconception that "all Orthodox Christians proclaim themselves 'Judeo-Christian'". No true Orthodox Christian would describe himself as "Judeo-Christian." St. Ignatius the God-bearer of Antioch was martyred for the Faith around 100-110 a.d., and according to tradition he was the child who sat on Christ's lap, and he was the third bishop in Antioch after Evodius and the holy Apostle Peter. As one who lived in the apostolic age and was martyred for the Faith, he is accepted by Orthodox as well as the Papists as a great Saint. He summed it up rather well in his epistles to the Magnesians and Philadelphians: "It is absurd to profess Christ Jesus, and to Judaize. For Christianity did not embrace Judaism, but Judaism Christianity." "But if any one preach the Jewish law unto you, listen not to him. For it is better to hearken to Christian doctrine from a man who has been circumcised, than to Judaism from one uncircumcised." Jews must embrace Christianity. Christians ought not embrace anything of Judaism.
