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

    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.…

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 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.…

Gregory proceeds to explain the investiture of the church when he says that it is, “in many places, performed by lay persons, and that from this cause many disturbances arise in the church by which the Christian religion is degraded, we decree that no one of the clergy shall receive the investiture of a bishopric, abbey, or church from the hand of an emperor, or king, or of any lay person, male or female” (250). The pope is here challenging Henry back over control of appointments of…
