Ever wondered what really caused Christianity's Great Schism? In this video, we go through the historical and cultural factors that led to one of the most profound divides in religious history. Did you know that the Christian church was once a unified entity, but over time, differences in theology, culture, and politics began to emerge? These splits were not merely theological but also influenced by the linguistic, cultural, and political landscapes of the time.
In the West, Latin-speaking congregations were influenced by Roman customs, while in the East, Greek-speaking believers had their own unique practices. This divide extended to church leadership, with the Pope in the West and a council of patriarchs in the East. As we delve into the 9th century, we explore the Phocian schism and the controversial Filioque clause, which further deepened the rift.
By the 11th century, the tension peaked, leading to mutual excommunications and the eventual Great Schism of 1054. This division birthed two distinct Christian traditions: Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. From religious art to liturgical practices, the echoes of this schism can still be heard today.
