@irishviking5 Catholic="full (faith)" and Orthodox="right faith". So, the 2 terms are synonymous.
The Church is one since the time of the apostles. All the denominations that altered its teachings were seceded from it (Arianism, Nestorianism etc). The same happened to papism, which uses until today the name Roman Catholicism for itself, even if its doctrines (primacy, infabillity, mariology, juridicalism, filioque) are different than those of the ancient Church, whose remnant is called Orthodoxy

@irishviking5 when he says "orthodox" he means the type of christianity there was before the Schism between east/west churches. the correct faith in Christianity was called orthodox when they agreed on beleifs at the council of Nicea. so Orthodox back then is catholic these days

id love to live back then, it sounds like you can just go to war for the hell of it

In fact in the west after the 9th century it was a German Empire although it was called Roman for certain political reasons. The true Roman Empire was the one which had as capital Constantinople and it could not split from itself. It was an arrogant cardinal that excommunicated Constantinople in 1054 on false grounds one of them being that the Romans-Greeks had removed the filioque from the ancient Creed, something that everyone knows today that it was pure ignorance if not an utter lie.

if u you are refering Orthodox Christianity as just Christianity then you are correct
because Orthodox didnt exist until 1054 when eastern roman empire aka the byzantine empire split from the papacy. after that split the Christian in the west became catholic.

We speak about your own history and you tell me to read up on my own?
Ireland received the Orthodox Christianity through many routes and even from Rome when Rome was still Orthodox (had the correct faith).
Of course Rome split. Constantinople together with Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem remained together in the Orthodox faith of the one Holy And Apostolic Catholic Church.

After Britain's conquest by the Normans many Englishmen came to Constantinople and fought for the true Roman Empire.
The western Romans were enslaved by the german tribes which created the heresy of Papacy and imposed it on the whole west. Before that the West was Orthodox.

You refer to the sacking of Rome by Goths whereas I referred to the capture of Rome by Franks and Lombards later on. They caused the split of Rome from the other four Patriarchates which are members of the true Catholic Church.
The Picts and the Celts knew the Orthodox Christianity by the true Catholic Church and the true Roman Empire. Saint Patrick, Saint Columba the Celtic Christianity, the Christianity of the Iona island were all Orthodox. They became Papists after the Norman invasion 1066.

rome never split from the catholic church it was constantinople. the pope still stayed in rome after being sacked. Ireland is catholic has always been since saint patrick converted them. Orthodox was an eastern religion. Ireland is in the west.
that is one of the better videos i've seen of RTW.... may I point out that Maxentius's army has a christian banner? Also so does Constantine's BEFORE he was christian so perhaps you should remove the banners? This can be done in the preferences.txt file - for a tutorial, you just go to twcenter dot net (i'm not advertising i'm just giving advice) it is just simple editing of this file
