  3. The Split Between the Churches Byzantine Empire Unit

  4. Christianity in the Byzantine Empire • Official religion of Byzantine Empire • Church worked closely with government • Emperor was believed to be Christ’s representative on Earth.

  5. The Issue of Icons

  6. The Issue of Icons • Divided church for 100 years; final straw in the split • Some believed icons to be worshipped, some saw them as symbols of God’s presence. • AD 726 – Byzantine Emperor Leo III ends use of icons in church. • Followers known as iconoclasts = image breakers. • Many refused to follow; AD 787 church appeals decision

  7. Let’s Get Ready to Rumble! • Fight damaged Eastern/Western Church • Pope (from Rome) has Leo III (from Constantinople) excommunicated (kicked out of the Church) • Pope liked icons because many in West were illiterate and pictures helped the service • Patriarch (like the Pope in the east) of Constantinople refuses to recognize Pope because the Emperor (Leo) was Christ’s representative on Earth.

  8. The Pope & the Byzantine Empire Break Up • Pope breaks ties with Byzantine Empire • Crowns Charlemagne, Emperor of Holy Roman Empire. (shows the Pope is in charge of politics in the west) • Byzantines become upset, leads to Great Schism of 1054. • Schism – split or breaking up • Eastern Orthodox Church born in Constantinople and Roman Catholic Church based in Rome

  9. Roman Catholicism – In West Centered in Rome Priests were celibate Latin used in services Supported use of icons Headed by Pope Becomes Roman Catholic Church Eastern Orthodox – In East Centered in Constantinople Priests could marry Greek used in services Forbid use of icons Headed by Patriarch Becomes Eastern Orthodox Church Roman Catholicism v.Eastern Orthodox

  10. Cyril Spreads Christianity • Byzantine monks traditionally spread Christianity. • Most famous was Cyril, traveled Slavic regions of Eastern Europe. • Gained followers and made major contribution of Cyrillic alphabet. • Most Slavs were illiterate so he designed an alphabet based on Greek and their language. • Cyrillic alphabet – based loosely on Greek alphabet; still used in parts of Europe

  11. The Cyrillic Alphabet

  12. Reflection • How do you think the split in the church may affect the long term cultural differences in the east and the west?
