Great Schism or East-West Schism part 2발음듣기

[Instructor] Now, the notion of the Holy Roman Emperor and the Holy Roman Empire does not last much beyond Charlemagne.발음듣기

After his death, over the course of the ninth century his empire is broken up, his successors are not able to carry on the title.발음듣기

But then we get into the 10th century.발음듣기

As you can see here, the empire of Charlemagne is now broken up.발음듣기

The West Francia, starting to resemble modern-day France, not quite exactly.발음듣기

And the eastern two thirds are now under the control of Otto, a German king.발음듣기

And because of his ability to offer protection and frankly just his power, he is crowned Holy Roman Emperor.발음듣기

One of the reasons why this is significant once again, it's saying, hey, the Byzantine Emperor isn't really the heir to the Roman Empires.발음듣기

This Holy Roman Emperor, but Otto is able to create a line of Holy Roman Emperors that continues all the way until 1806 when they are conquered by Napoleon Bonaparte.발음듣기

Now, the Holy Roman Empire itself and Voltaire famously said, "It is neither holy nor Roman, nor an Empire."발음듣기

Over various days in its history is fragmented.발음듣기

It's many kingdoms with different levels of autonomy.발음듣기

But under Otto, it was quite unified.발음듣기

Now as we get into the 11th century the divide between East and West becomes even more pronounced.발음듣기

We've already talked about this ongoing power struggle between West and East, between which bishops have primacy over Christendom.발음듣기

We've talked about, hey, who is the real heir to the Roman Empire?발음듣기

We've talked about Latin versus Greek.발음듣기

We've talked about the Germanic kings having influence now, and really following the West.발음듣기

We've talked about the notion of for-lo-quay.발음듣기

And those aren't all of the issues.발음듣기

On top of that, you have this notion of leavened and unleavened bread.발음듣기

Where in the West, in their mass, when they are consecrating the bread to be viewed as the body of Christ.발음듣기

They used unleavened bread based on the belief that this is what Christ used during the Last Supper.발음듣기

In the East, they said no, we have agreed to use leavened bread.발음듣기

And so this is one further tension.발음듣기

Even more than the actual issues are the sense of, "Well, why do you think you have the right to tell me what to do~?"발음듣기

And as we get into 1053, you have what are known as the Latin churches in Constantinople being shut down by the patriarch of Constantinople.발음듣기

Patriarch Cerularius, or Carry-u-larius.발음듣기

Saying that, "Hey, these guys are going against what is actually acceptable in Christianity."발음듣기

Now in retaliation, you have Pope Leo IX shutting down what would be known as Greek churches and how they practice in the Italian Peninsula.발음듣기

Either closing them down or forcing them to practice the way the Latins practice.발음듣기

Now there's a whole complicated series of events as we go into 1053 and 1054.발음듣기

Letters are sent back and forth.발음듣기

Eventually, Pope Leo IX sends a delegation to Constantinople.발음듣기

Part of it is to see if they can coordinate against Norman conquerors on the Italian Peninsula.발음듣기

But part of it is also to make clear what Pope Leo IX believes, that, "Hey, you have no right to criticize us about this unleavened bread.발음듣기

You don't have authority over us.발음듣기

I am the pope in Rome.발음듣기

I have the seat of Peter, first amongst apostles."발음듣기

And the leader of the delegation is a particularly proud and principled individual.발음듣기

When they go to Constantinople Patriarch Cerularius doesn't even meet them.발음듣기

Essentially he's rebuffing their demands.발음듣기

And so because of that, that delegation decides to excommunicate Cerularius the Patriarch of Constantinople.발음듣기

The leader of what is now the most important church in the East.발음듣기

Remember, the other significant centers of Christianity are now under Muslim rule.발음듣기

Well, in retaliation to that, Patriarch Cerularius says, "Hey, you can't excommunicate me. In fact, I'm going to excommunicate you."발음듣기

And he excommunicates the delegation.발음듣기

Excommunication says, "I am saying you are no longer part of the church."발음듣기

Now, when all of these cross excommunications are happening, many people probably viewed this as, "Hey, this is just a power struggle between folks, probably not a big deal."발음듣기

But remember, this is over centuries of increasing division.발음듣기

Not only do you have language division in the West, you have a leaning towards these Germanic kingdoms.발음듣기

In the East, they say, "Hey, we are the real Roman Empire."발음듣기

You have these issues of for-lo-quay, and other things.발음듣기

And this event in 1054 eventually gets known as the Great Schism, or the East-West Schism because it only gets further and further cemented.발음듣기

And they get only further and further apart.발음듣기

As you get to the end of the 11th century the Crusades begin.발음듣기

And we'll do more videos detailing the Crusades.발음듣기

Where the Western kings start sending folks at first on the surface to try to help the Byzantines reconquer land from the Muslim empires.발음듣기

But even when they are successful they don't give that land back to the Byzantines.발음듣기

They actually set up Crusader kingdoms.발음듣기

And as they make their way through the Byzantine Empire they cause, for the most part, a bit of a stir.발음듣기

They're not particularly respectful through the lands that they pass.발음듣기

And it really comes to a point in 1204 where at the end of the fourth Crusade the Crusaders actually decide.발음듣기

Even though the purpose was arguably to reclaim land from the Muslims the Crusaders decide to siege and sack Constantinople itself and take over.발음듣기

Now a few decades later, the Byzantine nobility is able to retake it.발음듣기

But that kind of cements the difference between the Latin and the Greek church.발음듣기

Known today as the Catholic Church followed by roughly one and a half billion people and the Eastern Orthodox Church, followed by roughly 250 million people.발음듣기
