Great Schism 1054 A.D.

[naumtheallstargamer]

The eastern Orthodox church uses icons to this day, it is completely wrong that they were rejected... They even fought for this doctrine...

[IndianaJoe]

Am I supposed to be listening to the music or learning about the Great Schism?

I had a hard time making out what you are saying -- because the music was so loud.

[eusunteu]

Actually the orthodox were not against icons

[kevinj.]

Nice video! would've been better without the funky grooves in the background tho

[kalliopeavassilas]

Your info on the opinion of icons is reversed. It was the west that did not accept icons. But otherwise, love the visual presentation!

THIS is essential reading …

The Acts of the Eighth Œcumenical Council (First Time in English)

— Only if you understand what happened in 879 in this Council will you understand what happened at the Great Schism — and thus which is the Church which is faithful to the Apostles and Fathers.

My teacher recommended you for a project. Very informative!

[Duh]

[nikkiewest]

[majcpw]

Unwatchable due to the background music.

incorrect we (orthodox christians) use icons
that was resolved in Nicea II and like the catholics we accept Nicea II
in truth we always venerated saints and mary since the first century AD
GET YOUR INFORMATION FIXED!!!

[alt]

1) The music, really?
2) The images you use (like for the pope and patriarch) are inaccurate and the video quality is poor
3) The Eastern Orthodox were only iconoclastic for a short time before the schism
4) There were 5 patriarchs (including the pope), not one
5) The Eastern Orthodox Church is no longer Caesaropapist, but rather autocephalous
6) You don't clearly describe many reasons why they split

[deanibrahim]

Cannot concentrate with that weird music in the background

[rfs]

That information about the east is extremely incorrect

[Mr.Anglo]

Tell me you’re not orthodox or Catholic without telling me you’re not orthodox or Catholic 😂. This is pretty off

[sypical]

who's here from philosophy class lol

[brotherbrovet]

This is wrong. The emperor was never head of the Church. The Seat of Power is not Constantinople!
Each local Church has its own Synod of Bishops and a Primate. The primate though is just a Bishop and can be removed by his brother bishops.
The "religious differences" brushed aside in the video and never explained have become vast Theological differences. Vast.
I give this video a C- and it should not be used for teaching purposes. It simlpy projects assumptions about the Roman Catholic Church onto the Eastern Orthodox Church. False assumptions.
There is no one man at the head of the Orthodox Church. That is by definition "papism", and the First Millennium Church was not under any Pope. No matter what the Vatican said falsely, and Protestants bought without question.

In 2016 the Vatican finally owned up to the 1, 000 yr old lie. It admitted and agreed: "...no Pope ever exorcised canonical authority over the Churches of the East."
