Rather it was the Orthodox who broke away in the 1000’s.

“Rather it was the Orthodox who broke away in the 1000’s.”

Not really. They go all the way back to Christ and this was not bowing down to Rome all that time as the Roman church loves to prtend. The Romans asserted that all had to agree that they were the final authority. The Orthodox did not change, the Catholics did. They headed off in a direction and weren’t followed. The Orthodox are the same as they were before.

That’s how you tell the story.

We still say the Creed in its original form and retain the fundamental equality of all bishops, which a dispassionate reading of St. Ignatius of Antioch shows was the original, Apostolic ecclesiology. My Patriarchate (Antioch) only broke communion with Rome when the Crusaders forcibly installed a Latin Patriarch in the already occupied see of Antioch in 1098, thereby confirming the suspicions that lead Constantinople to remove Rome from the Diptychs (in 1009 or 1014 as best we can tell), that you Latins no longer confessed the Orthodox Faith.
