Papal Schism

[gldsurfer]

Thank you for volunteering your time and effort to create and present this concise historical education.

I have been really enjoying the education I am getting from your videos. You are very good at making them entertaining and informative, thank you.

This guy makes a very convincing case. I will watch everything he makes on history.

Thank you for these wonderful lectures. You style and clarity are truly refreshing.

Many thanks for this illuminating lecture by Dr. Reeves. I am going to watch every such video-lecture of his.

Isn't conciliarism what the Orthodox churches believe? Essentially that the Holy Ghost moves the councils and thus makes the decisions there infallible, and not the pontiff of Rome? I mean it seems as if the Roman Catholic church and the other Chalcedonian churches could have united in the 14th century had the idea of conciliarism actually become doctrine, if you disregard the issue of the unleavened vs leavened bread in communion, the Holy Roman Emperor vs "Byzantine" Emperor and the other questions where East and West would differ during the time.

Really appreciate these lectures :) Keep up the good work

Very well presented.  Thanks for posting

Great lecture, but the image used for Clement VII is of the true Pope Clement VII and not Antipope Clement VII

[SuperCreativeHandle]

These are great. Thank you for making these lectures.

Saint Peter was martyred in the Colosseum. That, by itself, supports the tradition that he founded the Diocese of Rome. The Romans didn't transport people to Rome *just* to kill them. If you were executed by the Romans, you were killed more or less where you already were. Saint Teresa, one of the few female Doctors of the Church, knew this, too.

Hi Ryan, I have a question for you that I've been trying to address for quite some time. Why did the papacy hate the Lombards so much ?
I have a number of reasons such as the Carolingian influence, Arianism or paganism etc.
But I would like to know what you think about the conflict?

[nervouspooper]

Awesome video. Do you have any sources I could read up on about Sigismund's actions concerning the schism?

[MDivGirl]

Thanks for throwing in the bit about past crises and contested papacies. I have been putting a good deal of time in on Bernard and Innocent II and I was wondering how that related to the "Babylon Captivity of the Papacy" since it came so much before the more famous split.

The councils repeatedly intervened and only succeeded in prolonging the problem, voting in horrible men that nobody wanted to support. These craven councils were too easily swayed by secular powers and ambitious men with their own agendas. It's a good thing that the church rejected conciliarism. But then it over-reacted the other way and declared the pope to be infallible. One good thing that the papal infallibility declaration did, though, is limit the pope to infallibility only in matters of faith and morals. Before that, popes could presumably make pronouncements on scientific matters and anything else according to their whim.

[JS-lohr]

this is a great example of in depth history, free of editorialization. therefore, if you find any advocacy of one organized religion over another, you brought that with you when you clicked on the thumbnail.

Two popes and then thee popes. Goodness.

[pbaylis]

How where there three popes after the council of Pisa if two of them were deposed prior to the election of Alexander?

[Petey]

I'm an atheist but a worldbuilder, creating a government/state that is mix of fuedal era japanese shogunates and medieval papacies in the catholic church, and this is just fantastic. Thank you for this.

While I thoroughly enjoy your firm voice and it's my sincere wish others could learn from you (or that you'd more lectures), I can recommend keeping turkmerin and kelp as daily foods, to kick push that thyroid to the next level. Thanks.
