Didn't you see the sign "no dogs and Ukranians allowed" here? Fuck off.

Yeah that about sums up one of the main differences between east and west orthodoxy. Eastern Orthodoxy is a church which is a utility of the state and which submits to its rulers. Even before the schism you can see this plainly in mosaics and other artwork of Justinian who was depicted in churches as a somewhat godlike character himself, complete with 12 guards sometimes to mimic the apostles. His image was used in churned at the edges of his empire that he never personally visited to maintain loyalty.
In Catholicism, I think the best example would be Charlemagne's conquest of Italy. The Carolingian empire didn't overthrow the church or install a new Pope, the Pope himself crowned Charlemagne king.
In the Eastern tradition, the military and the church are state institutions, so I can't think of anything more fitting than a church dedicated to the armed forces, really …

They weren't any Catholics back then, the Great Schism happened centuries later in 1054, Roman primacy and the idea that the Pope is above everyone else is one of the reasons of the schism as orthodox tend to consider the various Patriarchs of various people to be on the same level of authority as long as a concile establishing said patriarchy has been done.
