Congratulations on being an abomination and having no identity I guess? I do feel bad for you and believe you still have a soul, but you shouldn't encourage other people to make the same mistake your parents did.
Can someone explain the Moscow-Constantinople schism?

An apparent abomination that loves you, for Christ's sake. I hope you find the light. It's not a good place you're in, my friend.

Sorry but God is against miscegenation. The Bible really could not be clearer on this point.

It goes back to the days of the First Bulgarian Empire, which gained autocephaly during its wars against the Eastern Roman Empire. As with this case, having your religious head subordinate to the national head you are at war with is a sticky situation.
The Catholic Church pioneered a separation between Church and State by having the head of the Church a separate, ecclesiastical state to all Catholic nations. In theory, the Pope could avoid being influenced by powerful kings and could act as mediators between warring Catholics. In practice, neighbours such as France and the HRE tried to influence the Pope, setup anti-popes etc. The French even kidnapped the pope at one point. This is also why, during the Italian Unification process, the Pope was so vehemently against the Italian state - he could not be seen as being influenced by any temporal power.
