What caused the great schism

History
2 answers:
Damm [24]3 years ago
6 0

The primary cause of the great schism was due to disputes over the authority of the pope. The Roman Pope claimed he held authority over the four eastern patriarchs, while the four eastern patriarchs claimed that the primacy of the patriarch of Rome was only honorary, and thus had authority only over Western Christians.

Though normally dated to 1054, when Pope Leo IX and Patriarch Michael I excommunicated each other, the East -West Schism was really a result of an extended period of estrangement between the two bodies of Churches.

Mainly the Great Schism was caused by disputes over authority in the church.

Detail/context:

There were issues of doctrinal dispute, such as:

  • The East objected to the addition of the Latin word "filioque" (meaning "and the Son") to the Nicene Creed, in which churches in the West confessed that the Holy Spirit proceeded from the Father <u>and the Son</u> (rather than from the Father alone, as confessed in the East).
  • The West objected to the worship given to icons in the Eastern churches.

Those were key points of doctrinal dispute.  Ultimately, though, the struggle was over authority in the church.  in 1054 CE, there were mutual declarations of excommunication between the pope (in Rome) and the patriarch (in Constantinople) that  resulted in what is known as "The Great Schism" -- a monumental split between the western church (the Roman Catholic Church and what has become known as the Eastern Orthodox Church.   "Catholic" means universal -- the Roman pope was intent on asserting his leadership over all of Christendom.  "Orthodox" means "right teaching."  The Eastern patriarch and church were asserting their teachings to be right over against positions held in the West.  There were a number of doctrinal issues debated hotly between East and West over the centuries leading up to final break between the two halves of the church.  But more than anything, the split came down to "church power" -- who held control over the church.

What was the Sudetenland and why did Germany want to annex it?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:  C. It was a part of Czechoslovakia where ethnic Germans lived.

Context/explanation:

Under Adolph Hitler and the Nazis, Germany began to seek more territory -- more "living space" for the German people, as Hitler described it.  One such effort was annexing territory like the Sudentland where the residents were primarily of German ethnicity.  At first the other nations of Europe tended to allow these actions by Germany.   A policy of appeasement was signed by the prime ministers of Britain and France with Hitler in Munich in September, 1938.  They accepted Germany's annexation of the Sudentland as a German territory, including the evacuation of any Czech population from the region.  Soon after, Germany took over all of Czechoslovakia -- but still the Western powers of Europe were not ready to go to war to stop Germany.  It was when Poland was invaded and quickly defeated by German blitzkrieg forces, beginning September 1, 1939, that Britain and France determined it was necessary to go to war with Germany.  This is considered the beginning of World War II in Europe.
