Everyone loves a romance story. The initial flirting, then falling in love, then holding an ecumenical council where you promise to always love each other.
But alas, then comes...the breakup.
As we continue to set the stage for the Crusades, we are forced to answer one crucial question. Why don't the Byzantines and Western Christians like each other anymore? :(
The answer is (probably) more complex than you'd think. So grab some popcorn and buckle up as we guide you through the messiest breakup in church history.
Also, John talks about his new favorite theology teacher, Gavin Ortlund. Gavin if you're reading this, please be a guest on our show. You're a cool guy.
