Having analyzed the claims for both (approaching all of the apostolic churches dispassionately in order to find the true church), I believe that the claims of the Catholic church are true, and the Eastern Orthodox churches (not one church, as the Greek and Russian wings are in schism) are in error in their rejection of the authority of the successor of Peter. The Catholic church also has far more empirically proven miracles, as documented by PhD hematologist and Canadian Medical Hall of Fame inductee Jacalyn Duffin in her book "Medical Miracles: Doctors, Saints, and Healing in the Modern World"; so I'm not sure if your argument here proves what you would like it to. I do respect your opinion, but respectfully, your statement "aka the true catholics before and after the split" is very contentious, and the Catholic church claims the same - and, being as impartial as I could (and in fact, having had a prior bias against the Catholic church), I came to the conclusion that the Catholic church is, in fact, the one holy Catholic and apostolic church.

The concept of there being an ordering principle to the universe far predates Zoroastrianism. Nonetheless, knowing that similar concepts exist does not allow you to transcend from the toxic hatred arising from your rejection of the literal, physically incarnate Logos, the saviour of all mankind, who was killed for our sake, and was resurrected as the firstborn of the dead. One day, I hope you will realize this. Et lux in tenebris lucet et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt.
