Terms of Use Privacy Go The East–West Schism is the medieval division of Chalcedonian Christianity intoEastern (Greek) and Western (Latin) branches , which later became commonly known as the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church , respectively. The East–West Schism is one of the twoschisms to which the term "Great Schism " is applied (the other being the Western Schism). [1] Relations between East and West had long been embittered by ecclesiastical differences and theological disputes .[2][3][4] Prominent among these were the issues of the source of the Holy Spirit (" filioque"), whether leavened or unleavened bread should be used in the Eucharist ,[5] the Pope's claim touniversal jurisdiction , and the place of Constantinople in relation to thePentarchy.[6] In 1053, the first step was taken in the process which led to formal schism.Patriarch of Constantinople Michael Cerularius ordered the closure of all Latin churches in Constantinople. [7][8][9] According to the historian John Bagnell Bury, Cerularius' purpose in closing the Latin churches was "to cut short any attempt at conciliation". [9] In 1054, the Papal legate traveled to Constantinople for purposes that included refusing to Cerularius the title of " Ecumenical Patriarch " and insisting that he recognize Rome's claim to be the head and mother of the churches. [2] The main purpose of the papal legation was to seek help from the Byzantine Emperor in view of the Norman conquest of southern Italyand to deal with recent attacks by Leo of Ohrid against the use of unleavened bread and other Western customs, [10] attacks that had the support of Cerularius (Michael Caerularius); Axel Bayer says the legation was sent in response to two letters, one from the

    As pre-determined, any religious principles in the Reformation were to be tolerated. As written in (Doc1) this piece of writing Concerning Heretics presents the religious anarchy ad chaos to destroy religions. Also, (Doc4) presents the contract between the Catholic Church and the municipal council in Saxon. It describes the struggles of the Lutherans in their ways of singing and being present in sermons. It goes into further detail to proclaim that the Catholic Church schedule must not be interfered with or pushed back whatsoever.

    P.21: It was widely believed among religious figures of the Church that the creation of the papacy was a divine creation. For this reason they believed that adding or changing any of the dogmas that were the basis of the papacy was heresy. They made it a priority to keep the beliefs of the Church intact.…

    Byzantine culture, political organization, and economic orientation help to explain the rift between the eastern and western versions of Christianity. Different rituals grew from Greek and Latin versions of the Bible. Emperors resisted papal attempts to interfere in religious issues. Hostility greeted the effort of the Frankish king, Charlemagne, to be recognized as Roman emperor. The final break between the two churches occurred in 1054 over arguments about the type of bread used in the mass and the celibacy of priests. Even though the two churches remained separate, they continued to share a common classical heritage.…

    Under the rule of Constantine the empire became increasingly bound together by the spread of Christianity throughout its people and its rulers. Constantine not only tolerated Christians, but embraced them and became one. Under Constantine’s leadership, the Roman Empire was transformed from Pagan to Christian and transposed from West to East. The issue of whether Constantine had indeed "seen the light" or if he simply saw Christianity as a political tool gain control of the empire is still a matter of debate. Regardless of his motives there was a fundamental change in church-state relations under Constantine. Where previous Emperors would persecute Christians, Constantine sat among bishops and talked theology with them. It is important…

    In the Byzantine Empire, there were obvious religious differences among people. These differences caused the empire to be divided between Orthodox and Catholic Christians. The Orthodox views spread throughout the east while the Catholic views spread to the west, which resulted in the construction of two different churches; Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholic Church. In 1054, the official split between these two churches was called The Great Schism. It was brought upon by disputes in the celibacy of priests and the type of bread used in mass. The Great Schism ultimately was one of the occurrences in the society that contributed to the beginning of the decline of the empire. The events regarding the churches in the Byzantine Empire were greatly different than those in Medieval Europe. The main church in the society…

    In the early 11th century, a Turkish ruling clan called the Saljuq Turks established themselves in Anatolia, and in 1071 the Turks defeated the Byzantine army at Manzikert, and took hold over the Byzantine Empire. The peasants were grateful for this change in government, as the Byzantine rulers were resented. Considering the fact that the Saljuq Turks were a branch of the Islamic Abassid Empire, naturally they wouldn’t want a famous Christian church tainting their capital at Constantinople. In the 16th Century…

    In the 4th century, the status of Christianity changed due to the efforts of a single person, Constantine the Great, who officially promoted and allowed Christianity in the empire of Rome. Christianity may lead people to think about the great saints, leaders of the church, bishops or martyrs. But it is believed that in the starting of the 4th century, Constantine the Great made a revolutionary transformation which cemented the unbelievable connection between the Christian Church and the civil state. Facing many obstacles, Constnantine had to create a full political, religious and social transition, in order for Christianity to secure a main stream foothold and thus spread. This becomes evident during the reign of Constantine, as the Christian religion that had been persecuted as a perilous sect became licit, and was incorporated into the life of the empire.…

    Christianity had developed as a religious idea in Roman Palestine, and had slowly spread throughout the eastern part of the Empire toward the west. During the first three centuries of its existence, Christianity remained disorganized and concentrated within the cities. Each group of believers centered around a few charismatic local leaders and developed their own liturgy. However, the conversion of Emperor Constantine in AD312 changed the structure of Christianity and turned it into a well-organized, quasi-political institution. The Church provided Constantine with a tool to use to hold together the crumbling Empire. The Church came under the Emperor’s control with the Emperor as the divus caesar, or divine emperor. Constantine used the Christian bishops as imperial officials to administer law and justice throughout the Empire. These “imperial bishops” answered directly to the Emperor, thus instituting imperial dominance over the Church. The Council of Nicaea in AD325 further brought the Church under imperial control with the establishment of a uniform liturgy to use throughout the Empire and approved by the Emperor.…
