Scenarios about 'eastern orthodoxy'

Eastern Orthodoxy refers to the second-largest Christian communion in the world, which split from Western Christianity during the Great Schism of 1054. This Christian tradition is characterized by its emphasis on mystical theology, liturgical worship, and the authority of ecumenical councils, while maintaining distinctive theological, liturgical, and cultural elements that have profoundly shaped Eastern European, Russian, and Middle Eastern history. In alternate history scenarios, Eastern Orthodoxy often serves as a pivotal cultural and political force that could significantly alter geopolitical developments in regions where it holds influence.
