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.

Why don't light get absorbed
mina [271]
Light does get absorbed, that's why we see black. If nothing reflects, all of the colors in the light gets absorbed into whatever it is hitting and we see black, the absence of light. Even if we see color, the colors that we dont see are being absorbed. When we do see color, it is because that color light gets reflected off of the object.

What are two reasons why communism was seen as such a threat to America in the 1950s
Brrunno [24]

Well for one, there was the idea that Communism was a direct threat to Democracy itself. That the rise of Communism would be the downfall of Democracy. As well, there was the fear that Communist countries would align with each other, the threat of nuclear war was already a huge scare and as such an alliance would have been seen as a threat to the US.
