Schism: Catholic vs. Orthodox Christianity

from History Shorts

The Great Divide That Still Shapes Christianity Today In 1054, Christianity officially split in two. But what really caused the Great Schism - and why does it still matter? In this episode, we unpack the deep political, theological, and cultural rifts that separated the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches forever. - Why did Rome and Constantinople drift apart for centuries? - What role did excommunications, language, and papal power play? - Could this ancient fracture ever be healed? "It wasn't one event - it was a thousand cracks that finally gave way." DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE A RATING OR A REVIEW! THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
