Why would a Married couple separate/Divorce List some reasons why a married relationship would break down.

INTRODUCTORY POINTS In the first centuries of the Church there was no “Greek” East and “Latin” West. The Christian Church was (for the most part) united. The word “schism” means separation.

INTRODUCTORY POINTS The 5 major patriarchs (Bishops) were responsible for the organization of the Church and shared power with the other bishops. ROME CONSTANTINOPLE ALEXANDRIA ANTIOCH JERUSALEM

Over time, two cultural and religious traditions began to develop in East and the West. Orthodox Church Interior Catholic Church Interior

Why did the Christian Church Split? The split between the east and west happened because of geographical, cultural, and religious differences that developed over a long period of time. The split did not happen overnight!

GEOGRAPHICAL One Factor that led to the Split was distance. Rome was isolated and this made it difficult to develop a relationship.

CULTURAL - ICONS A second factor that led to the Split was a misunderstanding over the use of Icons (images) in worship. Icons were destroyed and this was known as the (Iconoclasm).

IMPORTANT POINT Catholics and Orthodox Christians do not “worship” icons or statues depicting Mary, Jesus, or the saints. Catholics and Orthodox Christians “venerate” icons or statues. Venerate = to treat with reverence or respect because it is a holy object.

RELIGIOUS - CREED A third factor that led to the Split was an addition made to the Nicene Creed. Filioque is a combination of Latin words meaning “and the son” These words were added to the Nicene Creed by the Bishop of Rome in the 11th century. The Eastern Bishops did not accept this addition to the Creed.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

1054 The official split between the Eastern and Western Christians occurred in the year 1054 when the Pope at the time excommunicated the Patriarch of Constantinople (Michael Cerularius) and the Patriarch excommunicated the Pope (Pope Leo IX) The excommunications were not lifted until 1965!
