“The Great Schism” Schism: A split or division between strongly opposed sections or parties, caused by differences in opinion or belief. Catholicism and E. Orthodoxy Western Empire and Eastern Empire

What’s the Difference? (Western) Catholicism Eastern Orthodoxy Leader: The Pope Leader: The Patriarch of Constantinople Doesn’t seek reason Seen as in a growing stage God is an infinite, allknowing, true being Jesus dies as a punishment for Adam’s offense to God Supports with science and philosophy Seen as the same as when the Lord delivered the faith to the Apostles God comes in the form of a “Savior” God is “in” all of us Jesus gave, "His life a ransom for many" (Matt. 20: 28)

Why did “The Great Schism” occur? Cerularius wanted to split the religions Cerularius banned Latin Churches Greek vs. Latin Had bad relations in past The ban was the “Last Straw”
