You and I could be as far away from each other as Scotland is from Constantinople , and yet each of us be in the same great Brazilian forest . And as S.

The installation of Western bishops in the territories of Constantinople , Antioch and Jerusalem , who were loyal to Rome and to the political powers of Western Europe , became a tragically visible new expression of schism .
