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
the Protestant Reformation. Among these events, there were two “Great Schisms” that lent themselves to the reformation. The first occurred in 1054, and dealt with the splitting of the eastern orthodox catholic church, and the roman catholic church. This precursor event lead to the second, and more relevant Great Schism of 1378, where multiple men declared themselves Pope, and the catholic church lost even more of its power. In 1054 Pope Leo IX, representing the Holy Roman Catholic Church and its

However, one of those things that can be counted on is, change. Change is inevitable. Change is unstoppable. Change does not ask for permission. People change, seasons change, times change, styles, change, and even the church changes. Aggiornamento, which means, “bringing up to
effects of this cross cultural interactions between 600-1450 CE included the Afro Eurasian Trade Network as it facilitated the spread of Islam and technology, the conversion to Islam by civilians as the basis of the religion was equality and the Great Schism which split the church permanently into Catholic and Orthodox churches.

Founder of Constantinople, Constantine claimed the great Byzantine Empire and in turn inherited the new Holy Roman Empire. With the Edict of Milan in 313, Constantine proclaimed religious tolerance of Christians throughout the empire and soon the religion spread. Constantine then transformed the city of Byzantium into the new capital of the Roman Empire, which then was known and proclaimed as Constantinople. The new capital would profit from its location being closer to the east frontier, having
the main reason there was a schism was because the east and west disagreed on aspects of religion. The Great Schism, was the event that divided Christianity into Western (Roman) Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. All though it is normally dated to 1054, when Pope Leo IX and Patriarch Michael I excommunicated each other, the East-West Schism was actually the result of an extended period of estrangement between the two bodies of churches. The primary causes of the Schism were disputes over papal authority
Religion is a cornerstone of human civilization; religious tendencies have governed civilized peoples for their entire existence. What began as a mystic connection between humans and the natural world evolved into various religions with distinct rules and beliefs. The ever-increasing differences between different religious sects became significant sources of conflict throughout the ages, but none as deadly or sinful as the Crusades. The Crusades, fought between the Catholics and Muslims beginning
c. 312- 395 CE and how the eastern half managed to survive for so much longer before finally falling. I am interested in this area as before when learning about the Roman Empire we never cover that it had broken in two and the Byzantine Empire was what remained of the Roman Empire, we also never look into how the empire stopped, just that it did. The fall is mainly attributed to the weakness of the Roman army against the surrounding who were growing stronger and managed to invade the city of Rome
wondered how an empire would cease to exist? Or what the people in and around the area were doing during its dying days?. What happens in one place affects others and can be partially caused by the actions or non-actions of neighbors. What if there were "modern type" insurance companies in existence at the time that an empire collapsed? Could they be forced to pay claims for the "wrong death" of a ruler or for loss of property (the empire, buildings?) And, what if survivors could sue the neighbors for damages
Religion is often a driving force behind civilizations, and Christianity is no different. During the Middle Ages in Europe when chaos and instability ruled, Christianity was a guiding light in the darkness. Shaping the European continent, Christianity affected it in ways that paved the road to the modern-day Western civilizations. After the fall of Rome in 476 CE, anarchy erupted in Western Europe. Christianity rose to power as the single dominating and unifying central authority, acting as a government
