Removed POV section of first paragraph[edit]

Removed POV passage reproduced below. Cited no sources, very "angry" interpretation of the history, and used many antiquated POV terms: 'However in 787 the 7th Oecumenical Synod re-affirmed the 6 previous Oecumenical Synods and the holy, including local Synods in between, including the Council in Trullo, with the active support and consent of the Patriarchate of the West, led by the Bishops and Popes of Rome. It was only after the Great Schism of 1054 that,as part of their doctrinal innovations (such as abolition of the married priesthood, the filioque clause, purgatory, and having one supreme bishop, the "Pope of Rome", who can dictate to all and who is supreme over all others,that the "Roman Catholic Church") removed 3 Maccabees, with its definitions of true and false authorities, and description of the full repentance of a hostile authority and punishment of those people of God, Old Testament Jews, who had sided with that same civil authority before it repented. Something the Romanist attempts at Pontifical dictatorship found very challenging, because it provides a precedent for the punishment and potential execution of overthrown "Popes of Rome" and their supporters.'
