A história "dos vitoriosos" falseia ao unir a Igreja do Leste com as autoridades que formariam a Igreja Católica, estabelecidas no outro lado (oeste) do império. Por que inventam tal união? Para que a Igreja Católica fique, assim, mais velha, mais antiga do que de fato é. Exato: a Igreja do Leste é séculos mais antiga do que a Igreja Católica de Roma.
The history told by the 'winners' is misleading when making the Church of the East - without recognizing it - a unit with the authorities in the West that were to later establish the Catholic Church. Why do they make up such unity? In order to present the Catholic Church as older than it really is. Correct: the Church of the East is centuries older than the Roman Catholic Church.
