    I am from Clonmel in County Tipperary and Clonmel was attacked by Cromwell in 1650 and Cromwell lost near or over 2000 Troops to Hugh Dubh O'Neill, 5th Earl of Tyrone ("Black Hugh", meaning "black-haired" or "dark tempered") (1611-1660) was an Irish soldier of the 17th century. He is best known for his participation in the Irish Confederate Wars and in particular his defense of Clonmel in 1650. O'Neill was a member of the O'Neill dynasty, the leaders of which left Ireland in the flight of the Earls in 1607. Hugh Dubh's father, Art Óg O'Neill, was among those exiles who made careers for themselves in the Spanish Army of Flanders. Hugh Dubh was, as a result, born in Brussels in 1611 and grew up in the Irish military community there, becoming a professional soldier and serving in the Irish regiment of the Spanish army in Flanders during the Eighty Years' War against the United Provinces of the Netherlands. In 1642, his uncle, Owen Roe O'Neill, organized the return of 300 Irish officers in the Spanish service to Ireland to support the Irish Rebellion of 1641. O'Neill's men became the nucleus of the Ulster army of Confederate Ireland - a de facto independent Irish state. Hugh Dubh was captured early in the war by Scottish Covenanter enemies but was exchanged back to his own side after the Confederate victory at the Battle of Benburb in 1646. He subsequently rose to prominence after the death of his commander, Owen Roe O'Neill, in 1649. In 1649, after the onset of the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland, Hugh Dubh was sent south with 2,000 of the best Ulster troops to defend southern Ireland. He distinguished himself at the Siege of Clonmel in May 1650, inflicting the worst casualties ever experienced by the New Model Army. He was then made commander of the defenders at the Siege of Limerick (1650-51), fighting off the Parliamentarians' first attempt to take the city in late 1650. However, the following year, Henry Ireton besieged the city again, eventually forcing Hugh Dubh to surrender when the city's population was dying of hunger and plague, and part of his garrison mutinied against him. Ireton himself died of disease. Under the terms of surrender, Hugh Dubh was to be executed for his stubborn defence of the city, but the Parliamentarian general Edmund Ludlow did not carry out the sentence and instead sent Hugh Dubh into imprisonment in the Tower of London. Hugh Dubh's imprisonment was cut short by the intervention of the Spanish Ambassador to England, who argued that Hugh Dubh was a Spanish subject. Hugh Dubh was subsequently released into Spanish custody on condition that he would not serve in campaigns against English forces. He did not, therefore, return to Flanders, but was posted to Spain, where he became a General of Artillery, helping to suppress a rebellion (known as the Reaper's War) in Catalonia. He became the Spanish recognized 5th Earl of Tyrone upon the death of his first cousin, Hugh Eoghan. In around 1660, after the English Restoration, Hugh Dubh wrote to Charles II and asked for his family's ancestral lands to be restored, and that he be made the English Earl of Tyrone. However, Charles did not grant the request and Hugh Dubh died of disease later that year.

    The Spanish Tercios were formed to protect Catholicism and Catholics from Protestant persecution and tyranny, leading ultimately to the break up of Christendom into a million pieces, as catholics predicted would happen. Just look how many Protestant and Protestant derived denominations of Christianity exist, most of them in contradiction with each other, some downright ridiculous ( like Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses etc) and 99% of them preaching along nationalist lines ( Anglicanism, Calvinism, Lutheran, Church of England, Church of Denmark, Church of Finland blah blah blah), not universal lines like Catholicism does. Spain evangelised all of the Americas (with Portugal in Brazil) and even the Philippines and Equatorial Guinea and still to this day, they all practice under the banner of universal Catholicism, not a nationalist based Church. Here is the song of the Tercios for those interested... ruclips.net/video/FctNEFlE5g8/видео.html

    This is a great video at highlighting the differences between Western and Eastern Catholicism, but it doesn't answer the reason for the current schism. As you mentioned towards the end, there are 22 Eastern churches that are in full communion with Rome. And these churches have all the soft and hard traditions of Orthodoxy - icons, the filioque, leavened bread, infant communion, etc. Not even clerical abstinence is a barrier since Rome recognizes married clergy in both the Eastern rites and in Anglican rite. So these reasons are not what is preventing reunification. The barrier is simple: papal primacy. Very simply, the Orthodox only want communion with Rome, not ecclesiastical integration. Rome wants the opposite. Until Rome backs down, things will go nowhere.

      @dixiejuche1703 4 года назад

      Atlin C.S As I stated in my original comment, many of these differences already exist within the Catholic umbrella of 22 churches. So that isn’t a legitimate barrier to communion. I am Catholic and the reality is the only real barrier to reunification is Rome wants complete authority and supremacy.

    The schism Scholars estimate there are over 2600 groups today who lay claim to being the Church, or at least the direct descendants of the Church described in the New Testament. Repeat: 2600! But for the first thousand years of her history the Church was essentially one. Five historic Patriarchal centers- formed a cohesive whole and were in full communion with each other. There were occasional heretical or schismatic groups going their own way, to be sure; but the Church was unified until the 11th century. Then, in events culminating in A.D.1054, the Roman Patriarch pulled away from the other four, pursuing his long-developing claim of universal headship of the Church. Today, nearly a thousand years later, the other four Patriarchates remain intact, in full communion, maintaining that Orthodox apostolic faith of the inspired New Testament record and (Ephesians 4, 5) “One Church, One Faith and One Baptism”. The Orthodox Church and her history is described herein, from Pentecost to the present day. WHY ONE CHURCH? The Church was not created as a philosophical institution as a theraputical one! Being that only God can forgive sins it was necessary for mankind that Lord Jesus who is God Logos to be present in His Church for the therapy of man from sin and his return to God’s presence. This is why the Church was created by the Holy Spirit with special cannons (rules) that would ensure the presence of God Logos (Jesus Christ) as High Priest and Mediator to his Father for the Salvation of each person individually! Cannons of the Apostles www.voskrese.info/spl/aposcanon.html These Holy Apostolic Cannons that establish our Lords presence in His Church as High Priest and Mediator to His Father for each and every one of us ensure man’s freedom, they were set forth to free man from his biggest tyranny that is sin, and they are aimed to set man free from his biggest tyrant who is the devil. Most of the Apostles their selves became Bishops in order to go around the world and create Churches for the Salvation of man. Lord Jesus (God Logos) became the "head of His body the Church" enabling those baptized and receiving the Holy Spirit with in TO BE REDEEMED FROM ALL SIN,( including the propateric sin) to purify the hearts (only God can forgive sins) and become MEMBERS OF HIS BODY! [Α Colossians 1:18] “He is the head of his body, the Church; He is the source of the body’s life” orthodoxinfo.com/general/stjohn_church.aspx So Lord Jesus is not going to bring his Kingdom at His Second Coming HE HIS SELF IS THE KINGDOM FOR ALL THOSE WHO WERE BAPTISED FOR ALL WHO WERE UNITED WITH HIM! [Luke 17:21] “No one will say, “Look here it is”! Or, “There it is!” because the Kingdom of God is within you”. In the year 325AC the Church (the Church that delivered the Holy bible to you) held the first Church Ecumenical Synod. The Holy Fathers did not gather to “find the Truth” because the Truth was already present in the Church. The Church was producing Saints from the beginning. The Holy Fathers gathered in order to be able “TO WORD THE TRUTH” to be able to put it down on paper so everybody else in the world could understand it! The Symbol of Faith they wrote is still read in Sunday mass each week and it describes the relationship to each other of each PERSON (GOD) with in the HOLY TRIAD! THE SYMBOL OF FAITH (of the Orthodox) (Ist Ecumenical Synod of the Christian Church 325 A.D in Nikea) mb-soft.com/believe/txh/nicene.htm The first Ecumenical Synod How the bible was made (Council of Nicea P2) 325 A D The Holy Trinity, NATURE OF JESUS (IT IS YOUR CHRISTIAN HISTORY TO) ruclips.net/video/zWR4OJYJC18/видео.html Orthodox Christianity: The Holy Trinity Revealed ruclips.net/video/3kBi7ORiIwE/видео.html The Schism ruclips.net/video/Q_s9Rcsg5UI/видео.html The Schism in 1054 AC was never about the dividing of the Church in two parts but about a violation of a very specific doctrine as found in the letter of Paul to the Ephesians 4:5 that describes all of the preconditions (ONE CHURCH) under which Lord Jesus will accept to be present as the “head of his Body the Church”’ High priest and Mediator to His Father for the Salvation of man. Lord Jesus cannot be present in any other church for the Salvation (theosis/union with God) of man for it is not possibly for God to violate his own commandments. God bless

      @@Garapetsa i think one of the main reason we feel that is because the eastern orthodox churches were unable to call any successful ecumenical council after the great schism . that wasn't the case for the catholic church .there are in total 21 ecumenical councils in the catholic church right now. introduction of polyphony , realistic paintings showing sorrow , suffering , grief may seem modernist . but these were just later additions because the church thinks that these music and art need not remain static . instead the church must use the maximum human talent in glorifying. added to this was the challenge of the protestant reformation. so some changes should have made to continue the church in the era .but these changes does not have any impact on the apostolic faith. furthermore . their incapability to call an ecumenical council have made their churches accept thinks like contraception . whereas in the catholic church abortion , contraception , divorce , same sex marriages are prohibited .
