The Schism Between The East And The West

When Constantine moved the capital to Constantinople the Christian churches of Rome and Constantinople found themselves at odds. They ended up differing on many subjects. Over the years they gradually grew apart until the final split happened in 1054. This continues to today. The differences are slight but significant. The Roman church continued with using Latin as the official language, giving the Pope the ultimate authority, but not allowing priests to get married (Doc C). Whilst the Eastern Orthodox church decided to have Greek as the official language, instead of a Pope they had a ceremonial leader, also known as the Patriarch (who could marry); this is because Constantinople failed to see the Pope as the supreme authority. Their interpretation of the bible was also a bit different (Doc C). In the world there are about 120,845,374 people who worship Orthodox Christianity. Though there are many branches of it. Most of the religion stays in the Eastern side of the world, except the 5,000,000 or so Americans (Doc C). If it hadn’t been for the Byzantines stepping out

2. The schism brought the church into disrepute and wakened the religious faith of many.

Before the split of 1054, the Roman Catholic Church or Western church and the Eastern Orthodox Church or Byzantine church were almost one with each other. The two churches held the same ideals and got along with one another the majority of the time. They had previous splits in the past but they were never a permanent situation because they usually found a solution to their issues and differences. The split between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church in 1054 seemed to have no resolution when their theological, political, and cultural differences became too much for them to harmonize upon.

The religious schism took place in the 16th century, mainly between the Catholic Church and Protestants. During these times, many changes were brought forth to Europe during this schism. Although the religious schism brought forth an age of Reformation of the Catholic church, the religious schism started wars, revolts across Germany following the teachings of Luther, and the struggle for power between Catholicism and Protestantism.

For example, the Great Schism is the first major division within Christianity. The Great Schism, otherwise known as the East-West Schism, is when the early Christian Church split into the Western Roman Catholic Church (led by Pope Leo IX) and Eastern Orthodox Church (led by the patriarch of Constantinople, Michael Cerularius). This occurred in 1054 but previously there had been a lot of tension between the two sides. The Great Schism occurred because of

Although it is widely accepted that the Schism of 1054 was caused by religious differences in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, or Latin Christian, cultural differences and political tensions played an equally important role is the separation of the Christian Church in Europe.

There were many issues that created the Great Schism between the east and west, both prior to 1054 and after. It would appear from the document that the east had more issues with how the west governed the church. The split could probably have been avoided as well as its consequences. The Great Schism had many consequences two of which were the Eastern Orthodox's trying to tell the Roman Catholic how to run the church and the Roman Catholics attacking the Eastern Orthodox church with religion. In document 1 the Roman Catholics forcing Greeks to become part of their religion. The event in this document occurred after the year 1054. Document 2 also occurred after the year 1054, but this document talks about the Orthodox Church. In this document

Many issues that created the Great Schism between the East and West, both before 1054 and after 1054. It would appear from the documents that the Eastern Orthodox has more issues with how the West was conducting religion. Some documents would tell us that the Catholic had issues before and after 1054 C.E. Also the Eastern Orthodox had issues before and after 1054. Both religions had issues before and after the time of 1054 C.E., but the Eastern Orthodox had more issues. It would appear to us by the documents that the Catholic had issues before 1054 C.E. In 86 C.E we learned that the Pope had an problem because the jurisdiction of Rome should be restored as possible. We learn that the jurisdiction of Rome was necessary because it helped them

The church was unsure if Pope Clement V was leading the church or if it was King Philip IV. A folly immediately following this abduction was known as the Great Schism (ca. 1378-1415 A.D.). The Great Schism

-Once the pope got authority over the whole Christian Church, there were problems with preachers in many eastern churches—which lead to a division of eastern and western churches.

The West drastically evolved after the Civil War. The gold mining boom brought businessmen and crooks to the West. While mining for gold, the discovery of silver, copper, and ore caused more destruction of the land. The railroads were needed to transport mining materials and equipment. In the meantime, the demand for grains in the North caused corporations to buy up land and plant crops purely for profit.

The Great Schism of 1054 was when the Roman Empire split into halves, to the Roman Empire (which was Catholic) to the west, and the Byzantine Empire (which was Orthodox) to the east. This schism was caused by quarrels about their religion. They believed in different things when it came to who was “in charge”

In 1054, the Great Schism occurred between the Roman Catholics and the Orthodox Christians, when the Pope first excommunicated the Patriarch of Constantinople. Not long after that, the Patriarch excommunicated the Pope, causing the split. There were many issues prior that created the Great Schism between the east and west both before and after 1054. It would appear from the documentation that the east had more issues with how the west conducted the church. The issues that caused the Schism between the two churches happened prior to 1054, but more issues occurred after the split. Before the split occurred, there were multiple differences that the Latin Catholics and the Eastern Orthodox, which could be possible reasons for the schism. The Catholics had different authorities, government systems and rules which they followed daily. For starters, the Catholic Church was separated from political authority, the Pope ruled the church and everything was directed as a monarchy. The Eastern Orthodox had the Byzantine Emperor as the political head of the church, a council of bishops was the supreme religious authority and was ruled as an oligarchy (Doc 4). Their differences would eventually lead to arguments between them, and cause the split. Before that, a man named Pope John VIII sent a letter to the Greek Patriarch Photius, stating that “It is our will that our Bulgarian diocese, which converted to Christianity through the efforts of my predecessor, Pope Nicholas, and which was

The Navajo Indians emulated the pueblo. The shed their animal skin clothing for cotton and learned quickly how to farm. These people settled in between the Rio Grande and the Grand Canyon. They herded sheep and grew corn in the valleys. They were a peaceful group of people, and were one with their surroundings.

I have often wondered about the early days of Jesus, what he did before he met John the Baptist, got baptized, and started his new life. Many people believe he went for a long walk, a journey to the East, like the one described by Hermann Hesse in the novel with that title, A Journey To The East, which goes to the same place as the Chinese story called Journey To The West. Some says Jesus went to India and some say he went to Tibet.
