orthodogs arent merely a political group of schismatics. they have imo arch-heresies at their foundation that are tolerated because they stand between christendom and the east, and the rest of their message is close enough to not default damn those of good intention and unaware of the heresy. basically its pragmatism, since condemning them further would be more damaging to christendom than not given their geographical position. see modern turkey and the why the fuck are they in eu/nato question.
