In the year 1054, the Catholic Church had issues within the different parts of it. As these issues continued to pose a bigger problem, the church finally decided that it needed to separate and become different churches so that they could each conduct and run the church like they wanted to. The two branches of the Catholic Church that were feuding around this time were the Latin portion of the church, later known as Roman Catholics, and the Greek part, which were eventually known as the Orthodox Church. As we take a look back at these two branches of the Catholic Church, the differences and problems that they had with one another will be shown by evidence found in documents relating to the incidents and troubles that caused the church to have
There are not many people that changed history and specifically Christianity, that we know of today. Thomas Cranmer was born in Nottingham, England on July 2, 1489. His parents were minor gentry which means that they were the poorest of the rich. Cranmer’s father only had enough land to give to Thomas’ older brother, so Cranmer didn’t get anything. Thomas then left his family and went to school at Cambridge to start his holy life and become a priest.
Rome has had many leaders, from triumphant hero’s to tyrants without mercy, but the one thing that all these leaders had in common is that in some way they had shaped or influenced Rome. Whether it be very small unnoticeable change to their city, or an act so monumental that it changed how the world would think soon after. Of coarse I am referring to Constantine the great. No other Roman king had such a massive influence on Rome or the world. Constantine the great was known for converting to Christianity and making Christianity into Romes national religion.
In the section titled It is rooted in history the author gives a main point in defending his argument. In this section the author states “ To decide difficult questions, a valid authority has to be historical. By this I mean not only does it has to have an understanding of history, but itself must be rooted in history. In addition, the authority has to show a real continuity with the historical experience of Christianity. The churches that have existed for four or five hundred years can demonstrate this to a degree, but only the Catholic (and Eastern Orthodox) Church has a living link with history that goes back to Roman times—and then, through Judaism, back to the beginning of human history.”
The fight between The Gnostics and the Orthodox started off because both religions said they were the true church. The beliefs regarding christianity taught were different, making them fight over who was the real church and starting a war. They both believed their way of worshiping the god was the best way. Firstly when both churches talked about baptism they had certain criterias to be a part of the religion. The Gnostics believed simply being put in the water wouldn’t make you a christian
The technological development of heavy artillery in World War 1 was the most significant and it has the largest impact on the present day. Firstly, the heavy artillery that was used in World War 1 helped change how wars were fought from then on. In World War 1, many European countries used cavalry and other uses of horses because of how wars were previously fought. However, approximately 8 million horses were killed due to the new technology that was used in World War 1. The efficiency of the heavy artillery and the craters that the shells formed made horses useless which led to horses not being used in more modern wars.
The Russian Orthodox Church in the Soviet and Post-Soviet Eras The history of the Russian Orthodox Church is a story of resilience and facing continuous challenges. The Church has been through many hardships, especially during the Soviet era and in today's Russia. Despite facing harsh restrictions, the Church has managed to adapt and survive, all while dealing with many changes.

The wealth that Byzantium held may have been largely due to the religious influence of the empire. Benjamin of Toledo begins praising Byzantium by stating that it is surrounded by land and sea that allow for all areas of the Mediterranean to have entrance into the empire. According to Benjamin’s observations, the vast religious state of Byzantium attracts many peoples; “Constantinople is a busy city, and merchants come to it from every country by sea or land, and there is none like it in the world…” He attributes the empire’s success to the religious values that influence everyone throughout the empire. The religious influences are huge throughout the empire as noted by Benjamin, “There are also as many churches as there are days of the year”.
A few of the fathers most significant contributions to Christian thought today: Apostolic Fathers (i.e. Hermas, Clement, and Barnabas): combined “biblical teachings and philosophy” to present the One as creator and establisher of all things. Apologists (i.e. Justin, Aristides, Tatian, Theophilus of Antioch, and Athenagoras): set out to defend the Christian faith against contemporary culture and philosophy of their time.

The Byzantine Iconoclastic Controversy began in 726 CE when Emperor Leo III issued a decree against the worship of icons.1 This action resulted in the removal and destruction of icons in churches and monasteries.2 There had been tensions rising between the church and the state over the use of icons for some time, but the culmination of these tensions along with the pressure of Muslim armies attacking the borders of Byzantium lead to the explosive Iconoclastic Controversy. The iconoclasts ardently believed that the creation of images depicting holy people was making God angry. The iconophiles believed that these images were sacred and used them as a means of worshiping God. This theological battle lead to the meeting of several ecumenical councils in order to resolve the controversy between the church and the state. This paper will examine the arguments for and against the use of icons from iconoclasts and iconophiles in the Byzantine Empire.
Constantine the Great is one of the most prominent figures of the ancient world who has dramatically influenced the history of the modern world. Constantine’s triumph of political dominance of his time, led to the success of Christianity rising as the dominant religion in the Roman word, and perhaps the modern world. Constantine was the son of Helena and Constantius. In 289 AD, the western emperor chose Constantius to serve him. Constantius and Galerius were promoted to Caesar and eventually to Augusti.
Even though Christians were persecuted on and off during the Roman Empire, Christianity flourished. In the early Roman Empire, when Claudius, Nero, Domitian, and Trajan were emperors, Christianity was banned and Christians were persecuted. Nevertheless, Christians found ways to spread Christianity, and many people converted. As trials occurred and the Empire lost good leaders, the people took security in Christianity and other religions. Christianity grew during the Roman Empire because Constantine helped create the Edict of Milan, Constantine had imperial favor toward The Church, and there was trade routes to spread Christianity to different areas.
Judaism is one of the oldest religions in the world. Over the years, Judaism has evolved into many different denominations. This separation between Jews is mostly because of their different interpretations of the scriptures. These different denominations range from extremely orthodox and traditional to very liberal and flexible. Orthodox Judaism is as true to the traditional Judaism as it gets.
