The whole Schism thing is a control mechanism.
It keeps an outraged laity in a straight jacket.
Short of murder out in the middle of the street, or cursing God directly and fornicating proudly at the village fountain, the worst thing a priest or bishop can do is "foment Schism".
Yet that weapon is used to beat up on the orthodox today, not the schismatics -- for, forsooth! -- it is the Schismatics who are are in control and they're the ones fomenting Schism.
So, now what?
