Recommended: Compare & contrast various forms of government

There were many issues that created the Great Schism between the east and the west, both before 1054 and after. It would appear that from this documentation that the east had more concerns with how the west governed the church than the other way around. The Great Schism was caused by the Catholic disapproving of the Eastern Orthodox ways. They had different types of government, different church positions and beliefs (document 4). As we see in history, differences can lead to great wars, let’s just be thankful this didn’t. The Eastern Orthodox also had problems with the way Catholics did things. They also had problems with how they governed things and their church. Eastern Orthodox was more like Christianity, but back then they were the minority.

  • Apostles Of Disunion Analysis

    1208 Words  | 3 Pages

    The main argument made by Charles B. Dew in the book Apostles of Disunion pinpoints why the Deep South retreated from the Union to form the confederacy and how they came about gathering it. The book begins by testing the work of the commissioners from the south to various slave states in eighteen sixty through eighteen sixty one. Charles B. Dew states that the Deep South and the Confederacy sent commissioners around the southern and northern borders of the south indicating their removal from the Union. The commissioners were then charged with defending the removal and getting others to climb out of the Union as well. The author then stresses how historians rarely look at what these commissioners are verbally saying and how they are looked upon in a minuscule way. These commissioners were all slave owners mostly native to wherever they were sent to. Even though this is not all of the information on the men it is important to the story of the neglected historical figures.

  • Hammurabi Dbq Analysis

    1522 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Scales of Justice, an ancient symbol of law and righteousness, is a recognizable emblem of the balancing of what is fair in the eyes of the law. The scales are commonly attributed to the Greek goddess Themis and her daughter, Dike. Although the Greeks fabricated the symbol centuries after many of the first civilizations, its connotation and message of fairness, equality, and reason emerged in earlier civilizations, such as the Babylonians of Babylon. Babylon was a small city-state in ancient Mesopotamia that was ruled by Hammurabi from 1792-1750 BCE. Hammurabi, who lived about 38 centuries ago, reigned for around 30 years, and subsequently went on to claim most of Mesopotamia under his rule. After years of war and suffering, Hammurabi

  • Compromise Of 1987 Dbq Analysis

    898 Words  | 2 Pages

    After the creation of the Constitution, in the late 1700s there were many individuals who had different opinions on how the Constitution should be practiced. A decent amount of the population believed in “loose construction”, while there were also many people who believed in “strict construction”. The Constitution has created internal problems, for example the Civil War, which had hundreds of thousands of casualties and also caused a split between the union. The factors that led to the failure of the union created by the Constitution were the rise of secession, the ratification of the Compromise of 1850, and the differentiating views on states’ rights.

  • Pope Urban 2 Dbq Analysis

    616 Words  | 2 Pages

    Unlike other institutions, the Roman Catholic church relied heavily on direct violence when solving conflicts during the Middle Ages. The church used dubious strategies for internal and external conflicts, becoming a haven for violence and hatred. Muslims were viewed as savages, and did not believe Jesus Christ to be a savior to men, just a prophet (Notes). Thus, Islamic followers were a threat to salvation for Christians, who were unable to rationally think through this threat to their belief system. To eliminate the situation with the Muslims, Pope Urban II called for the first crusade, “to help expel that wicked race from our Christian lands before it is too late” (Source 40). Thus, war erupted between the two groups spanning multiple centuries

  • Constantine’s Latent Influence on Christianity

    852 Words  | 2 Pages

    Constantine’s conversion of the Roman Empire had a lasting effect on Christianity. Eusebius represents the conversion as a noble and respectable event for Christianity; however, early Christians know that the true beliefs of Christianity were heavily undermined. Because Christianity lost its true foundation, Christians were forced to find new ways to practice their beliefs and express their devotion. This watered-down version of Christianity opened the door to various divisions in the Church that still exist to this day. Although Constantine’s conquest of the Roman Empire appeared to be a positive event for Christianity, the original biblical canon of Christianity manifested into a liberal religion that lacked the true devotion of a real disciple.

  • The Great Schism

    698 Words  | 2 Pages

    During the late 14th century and the early 15th century there was a great division in the Catholic Church. The Papacy was becoming blurred. The center of the Roman Catholic Church had been moved from Rome to the city of Avignon during the reign of Pope Clement V; and there was now a movement to return the center of power back to Rome. This movement was first truly seen under Pope Gregory XI and his successor Pope Urban VI. Earlier Pope Urban V had moved the center to Rome but it had been proven to be no more than a temporary idea; he had gone back to Avignon to die and there his replacement, Pope Gregory XI was elected . This along with other political problems and circumstances created a split in the loyalty among different cities and countries between the two popes.

  • Roman Catholic Church vs Eastern Orthodox Church

    927 Words  | 2 Pages

    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.

  • Catholic Church: A Path from Corruption to Reformation

    614 Words  | 2 Pages

    Since its beginning, the Roman Catholic Church had been progressively corrupted. In its attempt to reunify the empire, it decided that quantity was better than quality; a decision that set the church up for much corruption in the succeeding years. In the twelfth century under the leadership of Pope Gregory VII, who's decision to reform monasteries, promote crusades, and demand priestly celibacy helped turn Europe into a theocracy. However, by the fourteenth century during the Great Schism, the church found a successful method to gain revenue through indulgences. More people were educated through the Renaissance, which led them to doubt the validity of sacraments to realize the open corruption of the Catholic Church.

  • The Reformation and the Church

    1602 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Church had not been blind in its need for reform. Many of the leaders had encouraged Pope Julius II to call a council. In 1512, he called the Fifth Lateran Council. The popes had become skittish about calling ecumenical councils because of the heresy of Conciliarism. The weakness that the Avignon Papacy and the Western Schism caused the Papacy led to Conciliarism. Conciliarism held the idea that a general council was greater and than that of the Pope. In fact, a council had no authority in Church matters unless called and approved by the residing Pope. Hence, by the time the Fifth Lateran Council closed in 1517, it had failed to reform the abuses that were going on in the Church. The climate was right for the message of the Reformers.
