These things is mostly unknown as many westerner thinks that's British took India from mughals and that Indians jut surrendered.also plz do a video about mysorean rockets and Kohinoor diamond which is in the crown of queen of UK. From ur dedicated but a non-petreon fan from India.
Again and again I am amazed by the rich art styles and visual representation techniques the antiquity presents us. Thanks to the nameless Roman, Greek, European artists whose art inspired me through the making of this video in terms of mosaics, stained glasses, manuscript illustrations, and icons. For any political or religious reasons art must not be a thing to be banned imho, since it is ridiculous to ban a thing which defines the humankind and it's power comes from core urges. Anyways art finds a way and insists to get out to the great openness of the earth no matter what.
The slippery slope there is that malicious people can redefine what art is and peddle all sorts of cultural weaponry as "art". All things in balance, especially tolerance.
don't seek the doctrines of men, worshiping idols, following their own lusts... seek The Truth on your own beloved ones. ask The Most High to lead you in His Ways (I believe this is outside the churches who delight in idols and icons, although I am sure they have many True Believers)
Translation of greek words: Irene= peace(Ειρήνη), Nikephoros=victorious(Νικηφόρος), Hagia Sophia= Holy Wisdom(Αγία Σοφία), schism= gap/tear(σχίσμα), Thessaloniki=victory over the Thessalians(Alexander's sister name), Nicomedia=victory over the Medes(Persians)
Θεσσαλονίκη/Thessaloniki means "victory *at* Thessaly". It was an allied force of Macedonians and Thessalians that fought there against a common enemy. And Nikephoros means "Victory bringer", not just victorious
@@dimitrismihalopoulos1469 yes, Nikiforos means the bringer of victory, literally "the one who carries the win"... But I am not sure about Thessaloniki if it was about "a victory over the Thesalians" or "a victory of the Thessalians"... The two words are Thessalon and Niki and in any case was a Makedonian victory, but can't remember, if it was the first its obvious, it's because Makedones win the Thessalous (Brothers kill Brothers) or if it is the second it must be due to a win that was given to the Macedonians due to their allied Thessalians allies... (Thessalians was back and forth being enemies and aliens of Makedonian all the time until Alexander unified all Greece)
As a Catholic from Ireland, I appreciated it. It helps me to learn about the tragic schism. Wish all brothers and sisters of Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other Christian faith all good health.
@@hetalvnThe topic is the tragic schism of Christendom, so involving other faiths would be a bit off topic. Secondly, it is naive to assume that other religions share your values even to the point that you should wish them good health (omitting such a wish is not the same as wishing someone ill health, but I'm not sure you'd want to wish good health upon ISIS -- or even someone like David Miscavige). Lastly, one could also ask "what about non-religious people?" I find it hard to learn about this topic without wondering what a more united Christianity could have done in the face of the centuries long Jihad that conquered so many previously Christian lands. It may or may not have made a huge difference (by our standards) at the time, but what the world might look like now is an interesting thought. Did the world benefit from having various checks on Christian power over the centuries? Or would we have a more just, equal, and liberal North Africa and Middle East today if, say, the Crusades had been a far bigger success? It's a counterfactual, but an interesting one to ponder.
The schism affects us to this day. My Grandma who was half-Greek and half-German was a Catholic due to her Germanic Heritage. My Grandpa who was a Greek was Orthodox. So there was a stupid issue when they were going to marry eachother. Where would they be wed in a Catholic Church or an Orthodox Church? The couple themselves didn't care much but it was an issue with their parents. So they decided to compromise they would marry twice once in an Orthodox ceremony and once in a Catholic one. (AKA Double the cost of a wedding) Since the husband was Orthodox they decided to do the Orthodox one first. Afterward my Grandma went to the Catholic Church in Athens to plan her wedding. Upon learning that the couple were already married in an Orthodox ceremony the bishop excommunicated my Grandma on the spot. She snapped at him telling him that even Jesus didn't excommunicate the ones who put him to the cross and she was getting excommunicated because she married an Orthodox? That stunt although it impressed the bishop it wasn't enough to remove her excommunication. She died in 2014 and the Catholic Church refused to do her funeral we did it on an Orthodox one even though she wasn't an Orthodox Christian. It wasn't because she was already married since wasn't rare for couples of different faiths to marry twice. And even if it was because of the marriage not the Orthodox part the church would simply refuse to marrie them not excommunicate the woman and refuse to do her burial 50+ years later. But the sad part is our own family was split. We are not in good terms with pretty much anyone on my mom's Catholic side. And with those that we are in decent terms we barely speak to eachother at all. Personally, I believe that the Scishim is stupid it tries to use the Will of God to abuse the worshipers. The Lord said after all "Love everyone".
@@vadimdon agreed, thankfully as the church gets seperated more and more from power each year one day we all go back to being a single faith that praises the Lord for his love.

What kind of shameless human are you? Either be relevant or shut up.
A tragicomical fact is, that as pope Leo IX had already died at 19th April, the excommunication enacted by Cardinal Humbert of Sevilla on 19th July 1054 was void, because Leo had only given a blanko excommunication, to be enacted in case the negotiation would fail. But by canonical law not only this document would´ve lost it´s validity with Leo´s death, but also the papal delegation had lost it´s authority, as they weren´t (yet) authorized by the new pope Victor II. But the news of Leo´s death hadn´t reached Constantinopel by the 19th July, and in the aftermath of the reciprocall excommunication all party´s were to proud and stubborn to acknowledge this fact, and get a compromise going.

Ferrer Mihkael I agree 1054 isn’t exactly right but it is when the first excommunications and anathemas were thrown around West vs East, mainly due to personal dislike. However they did show the importance of 1204 as the final nail in the coffin that split them from the commoners to hierarchs.

Proverbs 22:3 "A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished." Take heed to this truth, or if you reject it as "conspiracy" or "craziness" you will suffer the consequences. "Popery Puseyism Jesuitism" By Luigi Desanctis Page 140: At what, then, do the Jesuits aim? According to them, they only seek the greater glory of God; but if you examine the facts you will find that they aim at universal dominion alone. They have rendered themselves indispensable to the Pope, who, without them, could not exist, because Catholicism is identified with them. They have rendered themselves indispensable to governors and hold revolutions in their hands; and in this way, either under one name or another, it is they who rule the world, who have reduced it to such perversion of ideas, that he can neither be a good citizen nor a good Catholic who is not a Jesuit. Page 139: He who thinks he knows the Jesuits by having read all the books that were written in the past century to unmask them, would be grossly deceived. The Jesuitism of that day was an open war against the Gospel and society; the Jesuitism of the present day is a slow but contagious and deadly disease, which secretly insinuates itself; it is a poison taken under the name of medicine. "History of the Jesuits: their origin, progress, doctrines, and designs" 1854 By Nicolini, G. B. (Giovanni Battista) Page 39: take the Jesuit for what he ought or appears to be, and you commit the greatest of blunders. Draw the character after what the Jesuit seems to be in London, and you will not recognize your portrait in the Jesuit of Rome. The Jesuit is the man of circumstances. Despotic in Spain, constitutional in England, republican in Paraguay, bigot in Rome, idolater in India, he shall assume and act out in his own person, with admirable flexibility, all those different features by which men are usually to be distinguished from each other. He will accompany the gay woman of the world to the theatre, and will share in the excesses of the debauchee. With solemn countenance, he will take his place by the side of the religious man at church, and he will revel in the tavern with the glutton and the sot. He dresses, in all garbs, speaks all languages, knows all customs, is present everywhere though nowhere recognized-and all this, it should seem (O monstrous blasphemy!), for the greater glory of God Page 82: [Jesuit] Father Francis Pelhco... candidly confesses that " the many illustrious friends of the Society, prelates, orators, learned and distinguished men of every description, the supporters of the Society, remain occult, and obliged to be silent.'' "The Jesuits in History" by Hector MacPherson Page 148: Danger lies in the fact that since the Vatican Council the interests of both are identical. Jesuitism is the power behind the Papal throne. “The presence of the Jesuits in any country, Romanist or Protestant,” once remarked Lord Palmerston, “ is likely to breed social disturbance.” So hurtful was the Jesuit Order found to be that, up to 1860, it was expelled no fewer than seventy times from countries which has suffered from its machinations... In spite of Continental warnings, England, in the name of a spurious toleration, has become a Jesuit dumping-ground. Those whom other countries have found from sad experience to be enemies, Britain allows to land on her shores, and to carry on unmolested their work of iniquity. We are carrying toleration to excess, and unless there is a change of policy, this nation will one day pay a heavy penalty. If we wish to escape the penalty, we must come to realize that a system which enslaves the individual, fosters superstition, is at war with patriotism and destroys morality, will, if allowed to flourish unchecked, sooner or later destroy society. "The Jesuits in History" 1914 by Hector MacPherson Page 122: In order to clearness of thought in dealing with this subject, it is well to note the distinction between Roman Catholicism and the Papacy. The former has to do mainly with religion. It rests upon the theological doctrines which Protestants believe to be erroneous. There are Roman Catholics who take their religion but not their politics from the Pope. Had the Roman Catholic Church remained a purely religious organisation like any other sect, the world would have been spared centuries of evil. But in the course of its development the Romish Church, through its Popes, entered the civil sphere and aspired to universal monarchy. "The Vatican Against Europe" 1993 by Edmond Paris Page 308: In the future, as in the past, she (The Catholic Church) will inexorably move towards the end she has set herself, without the slightest thought for the ruins and the catastrophes that her unwearying pursuit might be causing. "The end justifies the means". "No political event or circumstance can be evaluated without the knowledge of the Vatican's part in it. And no significant world situation exists in which the Vatican does not play an important explicit or implicit role. "The Secret History Of The Jesuits" 1975 by Edmond Paris Page 7: The public is practically unaware of the overwhelming responsibility carried by the Vatican and its Jesuits in the start of the two world wars-a situation which may be explained in part by the gigantic finances at the disposition of the Vatican and its Jesuits, giving them power in so many spheres, especially since the last conflict. Page -163-164: But let us see, first, how an especially "authorized" personality, Franco, Knight of the Order of Christ, expressly confirmed the collusion between the Vatican and the nazis. According to "Reforme", this is what the press of the Spanish dictator (Franco) published on the 3rd of May 1945, the day of Hitler's death: ... "I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits", said Hitler... "Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical organisation of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organisation into my own party... I am going to let you in on a secret... I am founding an Order... In my "Burgs" of the Order, we will raise up a youth which will make the world tremble... Hitler then stopped, saying that he couldn't say any more.."(108) "Swarms of Locusts: The Jesuit attack on the Faith" 2002 by Michael Bunker Page 12: There is a conspiracy against Christendom.... But who are Satan’s agents in this conspiracy? The “agents” are the Jesuits. Even though the Jesuits exude vast influence and control in the areas of theology, education, recorded history and current media, I am still perplexed that virtually no literature exists exposing the Jesuit’s influence on mainline Protestantism. This is what makes “Swarms of Locusts” such a necessary book. In this work, the author uncovers forgotten history regarding the cooperative salvation theology of the Jesuits. The author then builds upon these historical truths and clearly exposes how the Jesuits (and their cooperative redemption theology) have permeated all denominations of the Protestant Church. From Cain to Charles Finney, this book historically connects-the-dots and undeniably proves that modem Protestantism has abandoned the Doctrines of Grace and embraced the doctrines of cooperative salvation.
The Patriarchate of Constantinople was not saying it was the head highest power. The Bishop of Constantinople said all bishops are equal the Roman Bishop was the one fighting for power
Exactly, this video straw mans the entire schism into politics, and makes some straight out false statements. The schism was theological. But we hear none of this in order to undermine Christianity as a sort of "political religion". Jesus apparently started a "new religion" as one example. Complete ignorance imo.
@Lord Voldemort Caesar is what the German word for King (Kaizer) derives from. The Holy Roman Empire was a germanised continuation of Rome so it makes sense really.
@Hoàng Nguyên Well it's okay then since they weren't vikings. That's probably why they actually brought something to england (mainly architectural techniques) . Italy is another matter though I admit.
@Hoàng Nguyên "Norman" in 1050 just meant "inhabitants of Normandy", which only had a small portion of scandinavian blood (since the frankish locals in Normandy have always been the majority), and which completely discarded scandinavian culture, so much that most didn't speak norse at all, just old french. William the conqueror itself had very few viking ancestors compared with the overwhelming majority of frankish ancestors. And by "frankish", I also mean what it meant at the time, not the germanic tribe of the 500s. Normans and vikings were as close as germans and french. Not that close. And btw Celtic people (Irish, Scot...) aren't Germanic, that's a different ethnicity. Russians are also a different ethnicity: Slav. It's just that historically the Rus' of kiev was kick started by scandinavians (which indeed are germanic).
@Hoàng Nguyên You're wrong. Celtic people are celtic people, slavs are slavs, germanic people are germanic people. Different ethnic groups historically speaking. Franks in 1050 mainly meant people from western frankia (not the former germanic tribe 5 centuries earlier), historians generally call them french already because in that west part they were already french culturally speaking (but they called themselves the franks). People in western frankia were for a large part from Gaulish ancestry (thus mainly Celtic), mixed with Germanic migrations (and a bit of roman migrations) throughout history. Frankish or french society was thus mixed, you can't consider french people strictly germanic, just a part. The normans consequently added to that mix. Historically, the meaning of terms just depend on what era you're talking about. For example before the 900s "Norman" was indeed just the name of the vikings (the way french people called them, all of them). But once Rollo was given a duchy which was named Normandy and swear fealty to the king of France, Normans were the people that lived in the duchy of Normandy, a totally different thing. Then in one century and half, they totally assimilated to the locals of that region.
"... had conquered the Saxons and the Avars, introducing these pagan people to the faith of the Roman Church." - well, that's a diplomatic way of putting it, lol!
You are sentient. All pay tribute to Rome or the legion will be at the door. The battle for rights of Roman tribute between the Greeks and Latins could be called the two thousand year war. Likely the Forth Crusade did not settle the issue completely amicable to the Papacy. The dollar sufficient evidence of our continued Roman indenture.
the catholic church murdered all the Christians who didn't follow in it's idolatry and false doctrines... they murdered millions of True Believers as well, not only pagans.... that church is well known for it's murderous ways.
rami chahin millions? Idolatry? My friend I’m gonna need some numbers because you Protestants haven’t exactly been too nice either, the Kulturkampf of Germany, persecution in England and its colonies, revolutionary France, Salem witch trials, my friend we’ve killed way fewer than millions, you people and your fanatic asceticism is fine, sure, but calling us idolatrous is foolish
@@ramichahin2 What is a pagan except he who does not subscribe to Roman idolatry? I say anthropomorphism is degenerate spirituality. For that matter, Capitalism is commodification of life or nature or God for personal aggrandizement. Capitalism is usury in fact and the worship of Moloch in practice. Spirit is beyond form or species or sex or time. We may check with our own for the truth of this. The art of man has no life of its own. Nor do his books or languages.
Dude the problem with Irene was not that "women were unfit to rule". Though not an usual thing, women could (and did) hold temporal power if the situation required it. They could not however (and still can't) hold positions of power in the Church. The title of Emperor was different to every other one. The Emperor was the supreme sovereign of Christendom. It was both a temporal and spiritual office. Byzantium could be rule by a woman, Christendom couldn't.
Keep in mind too that there were loads of queens who did most of the major decision making through their husband, they basically just told the king what to say.
@@derekk.2263 "Loads" is an exaggeration. Medieval times were brutal and women received little to no education. Also, contrary to modern belief, the vast majority of queens were happy just being wives and didn't have any political aspirations. You do have examples of queens being more influential than their husbands, but it's a rare thing and only really started happening with the Renaissance, once women started receiving some education and the world got less brutal.
@One Two that’s bullshit. What survey is this? The churches have a good 5-15% of abuse amongst their clergymen (employees) just like most other organizations. It just gets way more scrutiny bc of who they are and what they are supposed to represent. Btw studies say 100% of people named One Two on UA-cam like men. See how that works?
I love learning about the history of Christianity :) It was thanks to the Greeks that my nation of Bulgaria converted to Christianity and it was a combined Bulgarian and Greek effort that successfully converted the future Russian. This is why a lot of Slavic names actually have Greek origins.
It seems to me that the Bulgarians overestimate their role in the formation of Russia a bit, the fact that we became Christians is mainly the merit of the Greeks, with whom the future tsars almost completely tried to copy the state system
@@ikipemiko Are you talking about the alphabet for which the citizens of Byzantium of Slavic origin were paid for in an organization entirely owned by the Greeks? no one says that the whole world watches Russian TV because an important part of this invention belongs to Zvorykin.

@@coolthief8375 yeah, the Balkan region is probably the most divided region in the world, full of biased people with some of the most conflicted ideas, worldview and ethnical disputes and just bitter hate towards each other

I have a unique perspective on the division between the Orthodox and Catholic churches, since it could be said that I have one foot in each cultural world. My mom is Greek Orthodox, while my dad is Irish Catholic. I was raised and baptized into the Greek Orthodox Church, of which I am still a proud member, but my secondary, undergraduate and graduate education was at Catholic schools, run by the Xaverian and Jesuit orders. This video provides a very good summary of the events surrounding the schism between the churches
Other than a few things like the fact the Orthodox Church would never agree that the pope was ever the sole power. The Church was, is and always will be the sole power. Though the fact there may be many scattered true Christians outside of it, the Orthodox Church was, is and will be to the end, the only true remnant of the Church God gifted to us. With His son Christ as the head under the Holy Spirit. Of course.
@@Orthodoxi I'm a Catholic but the Orthodox priests in my country use the succession of Peter as a symbol of the supremacy of the bishop of Rome in settling the Ecumenical councils. The reason why Protestants still don't overwhelm the churches of Christ (Apostolic), are because of 1. The legitimacy of Ecumenical Councils, and 2. The apostolic succession. Who is there to say that we can settle an Ecumenical council and settle it? Is it a democracy or not? Yes they chose who will replace Judas, but that's it. The rest supports the claims of the bishop of Rome, which succeeds from Peter. If you'll deny that the bishop of Rome descended from Peter, then you might as well deny the validity of the Ecumenical councils. There is a reason why Jesus gave keys to Peter referencing explicitly to Eliakim in Isaiah 22:22. Even if you read what Ireneus and various early Christian scholars noted the supremacy of the bishop of Rome. Israel was once ruled by many Judges, but there is an existing blueprint that Judah will be the kingdom. It existed there in the scriptures for so long. Back then they only see what is good in their own eyes, but when they become a kingdom, it is not also immediately accepted, they even went to civil war, to banishment, to enslavement, until they realize that it is true that Judah in all of the tribes is all along the sole authority despite being written there in the scriptures for so long. The same thing you can keep arguing now. Any Orthodox or Protestants of today can do councils upon councils that they wanted to, and keep on splitting, but if they don't trace where their roots are, and which authority was actually given to, the church would be shaky at its core. We Catholics don't even curse the Orthodox church, we see it as a part of the true original Catholic and Apostolic church that Jesus Christ made, that Ignatius the disciple of John mentioned as early as 1st century AD. But it is the Orthodox who claims that they are the "Only" church, and by saying so, gives also legitimacy to the "Lutherans and Anglicans" who traces their roots to the Apostles through the apostate priests who broke off from the Church and then used the Apostolic succession as their reasoning, mixed with blasphemy and protestantism against the Church. Check out why the top intellectuals and scholars from Protestantism converts to Catholicism of all the Apostolic churches existing. People like Scott Hahn, Trent Horn, Cameroon, and so on.
@@Orthodoxi so Jesus words don't count? Peter you are my rock and upon my rock I will build my church? This is just a quick summary but the inevitable division by the East was material possession by emperors to inherit and hand over to their bloodline while the Pope is voted in and replaceable. On paper at least. The same case with the reformation of King Henry. Listen as a Asian man short brown and poor I never envy anyone's wealth because I understand that envy is the result of wanting to be in their place. In other words envious people are mad at handsome and rich people because they want to be them... What I'm trying to say is somebody has to be above you in this life and you have to learn to live with that because God is above you after you die. The Pope was put there by Jesus to be above emperor's Kings and all leaders. If the pope is bad he will be replaced.

"There's no such thing as toxic femininity." Nobody talks about Athaliah, queen of Judah (841-835 BC) who seized the throne after the death of her son King Ahaziah, killed her rivals, and established Baal worship in Judah. "When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family of the house of Judah." (2 Chronicles 22: 10).
So when Ivan the Terrible killed his son, Constantine “the Great” killed his wife and son, Süleyman killed several of his sons was not a toxic masculinity, but when Irene did it it suddenly is. It’s funny how some men today are so afraid of women in history doing what men in history also did. Laughable...
The video is incomplete in details. I am a former Catholic seminarian who studies this and it's even more complicated than this that misses key points.
I don't believe he was meant to be a "2nd Emperor" or a competing emperor. He was declared the "true successor" to Constantine V, the son of Irene. Competing Emperors didn't come around until Otto.
@@paulmayson3129 While ultimately correct about their power coming from Augustan succession, the role of Christianity in the coronation of Roman emperors (and all European monarchs since) has been vital since the 500s. We can't ignore that the role of Emperor had become more than a secular position, but an important Christian one by then. And as a Christian, he was a spiritual subject to the Church.
Congratulations guys! You keep surprising me! Historically accurate and well presented videos. About this story, its useful to say that many historian believe that the real schism between the two peoples, was occured when the crusaders sacked Constantinople. The hubris of sacking the first christian capital, the city of God, was the decisive moment that pushed Orthodox Greeks away from Catholics, for good.
An absolutely astonishing accomplishment. The simplicity of your approach belies it's ability to encapsulate a vast scope. Should be used by schools everywhere!

He dresses, in all garbs, speaks all languages, knows all customs, is present everywhere though nowhere recognized-and all this, it should seem (O monstrous blasphemy!), for the greater glory of God Page 82: [Jesuit] Father Francis Pelhco... candidly confesses that " the many illustrious friends of the Society, prelates, orators, learned and distinguished men of every description, the supporters of the Society, remain occult, and obliged to be silent.'' "The Jesuits in History" by Hector MacPherson Page 148: Danger lies in the fact that since the Vatican Council the interests of both are identical. Jesuitism is the power behind the Papal throne. “The presence of the Jesuits in any country, Romanist or Protestant,” once remarked Lord Palmerston, “ is likely to breed social disturbance.” So hurtful was the Jesuit Order found to be that, up to 1860, it was expelled no fewer than seventy times from countries which has suffered from its machinations... In spite of Continental warnings, England, in the name of a spurious toleration, has become a Jesuit dumping-ground. Those whom other countries have found from sad experience to be enemies, Britain allows to land on her shores, and to carry on unmolested their work of iniquity. We are carrying toleration to excess, and unless there is a change of policy, this nation will one day pay a heavy penalty. If we wish to escape the penalty, we must come to realize that a system which enslaves the individual, fosters superstition, is at war with patriotism and destroys morality, will, if allowed to flourish unchecked, sooner or later destroy society. "The Jesuits in History" 1914 by Hector MacPherson Page 122: In order to clearness of thought in dealing with this subject, it is well to note the distinction between Roman Catholicism and the Papacy. The former has to do mainly with religion. It rests upon the theological doctrines which Protestants believe to be erroneous. There are Roman Catholics who take their religion but not their politics from the Pope. Had the Roman Catholic Church remained a purely religious organisation like any other sect, the world would have been spared centuries of evil. But in the course of its development the Romish Church, through its Popes, entered the civil sphere and aspired to universal monarchy. "The Vatican Against Europe" 1993 by Edmond Paris Page 308: In the future, as in the past, she (The Catholic Church) will inexorably move towards the end she has set herself, without the slightest thought for the ruins and the catastrophes that her unwearying pursuit might be causing. "The end justifies the means". "No political event or circumstance can be evaluated without the knowledge of the Vatican's part in it. And no significant world situation exists in which the Vatican does not play an important explicit or implicit role. "The Secret History Of The Jesuits" 1975 by Edmond Paris Page 7: The public is practically unaware of the overwhelming responsibility carried by the Vatican and its Jesuits in the start of the two world wars-a situation which may be explained in part by the gigantic finances at the disposition of the Vatican and its Jesuits, giving them power in so many spheres, especially since the last conflict. Page -163-164: But let us see, first, how an especially "authorized" personality, Franco, Knight of the Order of Christ, expressly confirmed the collusion between the Vatican and the nazis. According to "Reforme", this is what the press of the Spanish dictator (Franco) published on the 3rd of May 1945, the day of Hitler's death: ... "I learned much from the Order of the Jesuits", said Hitler... "Until now, there has never been anything more grandiose, on the earth, than the hierarchical organisation of the Catholic Church. I transferred much of this organisation into my own party... I am going to let you in on a secret... I am founding an Order... In my "Burgs" of the Order, we will raise up a youth which will make the world tremble... Hitler then stopped, saying that he couldn't say any more.."(108) "Swarms of Locusts: The Jesuit attack on the Faith" 2002 by Michael Bunker Page 12: There is a conspiracy against Christendom.... But who are Satan’s agents in this conspiracy? The “agents” are the Jesuits. Even though the Jesuits exude vast influence and control in the areas of theology, education, recorded history and current media, I am still perplexed that virtually no literature exists exposing the Jesuit’s influence on mainline Protestantism. This is what makes “Swarms of Locusts” such a necessary book. In this work, the author uncovers forgotten history regarding the cooperative salvation theology of the Jesuits. The author then builds upon these historical truths and clearly exposes how the Jesuits (and their cooperative redemption theology) have permeated all denominations of the Protestant Church. From Cain to Charles Finney, this book historically connects-the-dots and undeniably proves that modem Protestantism has abandoned the Doctrines of Grace and embraced the doctrines of cooperative salvation.
The filioque controversy had less to do with an actual disagreement in how the east and west percieved the spirit of God, and more to do with changing what was at the time already an ancient creed. Essentially the western roman church added a clarification statement to the nicene creed and the eastern roman church was upset that the west was making changes to ancient creeds without the patriarchs permission. Could be wrong but that's what i've heard at least.
Actually, the Filioque addition to the Creed is not considered ecumenical since the Western church made the changes unilaterally and without the Eastern church involvement ( by définition non-ecumenical). Thus, the Orthodox stick to the original Nicean Creed without the Filioque which is how the last ecumenical council left it (where it was agreed upon by all).
@@georgemarkakis9552 Actually the Orthodox use the amended Nicene Creed which they clarified in 381 at the Council of Constantinople of which no western bishop was present…

Technically, they still have not really reconciled with each other even though some strides have been made. In order to tell this story from a certain perspective, it would offend the other side. I do agree with you though that it would make for great tv.
Though being Muslim but such division saddens me. I'm from Albania and I can still feel this division where Catholic and Orthodox Albanians have always argued against each other due to their differences and Orthodox Albanians have sometimes been blamed as Serbian/Greek/Macedonian agents though I view them as Albanians. The two churches need to settle their differences.
By settle differences, I hope you mean the Pope removing the doctrines of Papal supremacy, infallibility, filioque, immaculate conception, purgatory, and penal substitution. Because true faith and objective truth can’t compromise and contradict itself for the sake of resolving differences.
@vasiliskaranos605 True faith has nothing to do with objective truth. It's an oxymoron. You either believe in something, and it [might] turn out to be true or know something that is true. So it's obvious that objective true will contradict true faith in many cases.
Very concise explanation, good job capturing the concept highlighting the important events. Glad that this channel addressed this topic. This could be a good high school history class lecture. Thank you!
5:47 orthodox Christians don’t worship images and icons, it’s called veneration and it’s a symbol of love and respect for whoever or whatever is depicted on the icon. Not worshiping the icon itself.
@@greatexpectations6577 from the outside it really seems that way. But no one in Orthodoxy is saying that image is a "god" and worshipping it. From what I understand is that they are looking at the verses where Paul says "for we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses in the saints who have gone before us. Therefore brothers and sisters let us run our race not in vain."(paraphrased) thus the showing respect to those ancestors who lived their lives righteously and are "now seated with Christ in heavenly places" As to the "praying to" again this isn't seen or acted upon as praying to God himself, which they still do. But rather the concept behind that is that just as we are told to go to one another and seek corporate prayer, i.e. someone's child is struggling with addiction so they go to their church and ask people to join with them in prayer for this person thus showing the unity of Christ' body, so they go to the saints who have passed. As it says in Hebrews(I think) "for Christ rose from the grave. Therefore God is not Lord of the dead but of the Living" the belief is that the saints though dead on earth are alive and seated with Christ and while yes we have unfiltered access to Christ(see the tearing of the veil) how much more so is the access of those who are seated next to them and as you may ask a brother at Church to pray for a struggle so you ask the saints. As a protestant, once looked at in the true light of where the tradition comes from I really fail to see the Idol worship. They still profess the Lord Jesus Christ is their savior and is Himself God and the Son of God, one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. They still offer their worship to Him and Him alone and show respect and honor to those church fathers who have already passed on. There's more but honestly The Ten Minute Bible Hour has a wonderful series where he goes and talk with the various Orthodox churches and sits down with a Catholic theologian friend and discusses all of this, I highly recommend watching it.
That was an incredibly awesome video and covered most of the facts. You could have done some mentions on the attempts made between 1261 and 1453 for a solution of the Schism (like the Florence Council) even though popular controversy and bad timing proved these attempts fruitless....
As a Catholic I have nothing but love for my Eastern Orthodox brothers and sisters. I listen to eastern religious chanting and love the Byzantine Empire.
Star Star they may be schismatic but don’t let it stop one from loving the Byzantines, with enough time the east and west WILL be brought back together.
The East Roman nobility would never accept him as an imperial consort , never mind co-ruler. Irene was likely menopausal by that age, so it's unlikely they would have children, and even if they had imperial blood was no concrete guarantee to being Basileus (being half barbarian would be an obstacle). It's doubtful as well that Louis the Pious would want to share his kingdom with an infant half brother, as Frankish law dictated. Charlemagne only lived to 814 as well, so any child between the imperial couple would be 14 at the oldest by that point. It's a fascinating idea to think about, but I doubt it would've had a long lasting effect, certainly not one past the half century mark
It would kind of be like if Donald Trump married Angela Merkel, if Charlemagne had been an ignorant lout with all the intellectual acumen of a hedgehog.
Not really. The Byzantine court would not have tolerated a Western barbarian calling the shots! It's more likely Irene would have been overthrown than an heir inheriting the Byzantine and Frankish realms!

@@DJMeriMero He is not hater, just stating the truth... In that time that was the "Despotato tis Ipirou"... Albanians were brought there later by Ottomans (origin of Albanians is somewhere in Caucasian mountains)... Albanians are referred to the list of nations of the army under Darius in the battle of Gaugamela against Alexander! Real Albanians are Asians and did not exist in Balkans before the fall of Constantinople and Byzantine Empire at 1453...
The content of videos here have always been super but now video editing skill also surpassed beyond just good. This channel is great. Way better than traditional documentaries from history channel or BBC. Thank you so much for posting invaluable contents for free. I do appreciate very much!
Great video. This might be one of the best history channels on UA-cam. Great content. However, in this case it would have been great if you'd had mentioned the nullification of mutual anathemas through the Catholic-Orthodox Joint Declaration of 1965, that put an end to the excomunications.
".. laid a letter of excommnication in Hagia Sofia" I actually hit pause, and went "woooah!" As an outsider, it surely looks like it was the pope who was escalating the stakes all the time.
Generally this is poorly researched, the Papal Legate that did that did not have the authority from the pope to do that and the easterners would have known this (in addition to the fact the pope had died and so he had no authority of any kind anyway)
Heavy move but there are so many factors that go into not only the lead up but also this act itself that it should have been ignored by both sides (& apologized by the new Pope). At this point schism was going to happen.
Maybe I'm wrong but at 17:55, after the sack of Constantinople, the successor state that formed in western Greece was the Despotate of Epirus, not Albania. Or at the very least, Albania did not occupy land so far south into Epirus, if anything it was the Despotate who controlled southern Albania.
So called Despotate of Epirus was ruled by albanian princes and most of its inhabitants were albanians so Epirus and Albania is one and the same ....welcome to the real history my friend....now you know the truth
Iv always wondered about the origins of the Holy Roman Empire. Today I learned some really valuable knowledge and now know why it was named so. Your videos continue to impress. Keep up the good work
Well structured, clear and synthetic presentation, once again ! You stressed the most important points and articulated perfectly the key issues of this deep rivalry which still continues to impact our world.

As a Roman Catholic I was laughing and wincing in embarrassment while watching all these madness, but more than that I'm sad 'coz we are all brother & sister's in CHRIST. It is so unfortunate. Anyway Pax Christi ;P
We are not brothers and sisters in Christ, since you are not in Christ, as you are in heresy and schism from His Body, the Church. Repent and become Orthodox.
@@FreshWholeMilk Both Catholicism and Orthodoxy follow the main tenants laid down by our lord Jesus Christ, and mainly differ in how their churches practice, and as such should be understood to be as brothers.
@@absolutelyyousless7605 There is only one Church. The Church is the Body of Christ, and Christ has only one Body, lest you become a Nestorian. The main difference between us and the Papists isn’t praxial, it’s the heretical doctrines the Latins promulgate dogmatically - chief among them the Filioque, which contradicts the Trinitarian Dogma of the Monarchy of the Father

@Tom K in some alternate universe there's some alternate history video about "What if the Christian Church never reunified" and speculates about what's basically our world. Their world is likely centuries behind ours, or more tho. Or, one could argue centuries AHEAD. I always just thought the Reformation led to less restriction on innovation.
@@alanguages untrue, very untrue. Of course Christians care about the original Christians from Jerusalem, it’s a holy city and people fought for it in the crusades.
@@theodorusstevensitanggang6130 That's partially true. The concept of the 5 patriarchates (Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Alexandria, in geographical order) dates to Justinian in the 6th century. It is often used retroactively to explain the situation in the Christian Church in the 2 centuries prior to that. It's an anachronism, but not a bad approximation.
Can't help but think Kings and Generals and Knowledgia did a collab on this subject, they've each covered the historical and theological background of the schism respectively and the two videos complement each other so well.

The Despotate of Epirus was a Greek successor state to the Roman/ Byzantine Empire. The Rulers were from the Doukai and Komnenoi family who were both descendants of Greek/ Medieval Roman families and the capital of the Despotate was the city of Arta in modern day Greece. Please, do not start with the Albanians claiming everything was Albanian nonsense in this video too

Again and again I am amazed by the rich art styles and visual representation techniques the antiquity presents us. Thanks to the nameless Roman, Greek, European artists whose art inspired me through the making of this video in terms of mosaics, stained glasses, manuscript illustrations, and icons.
For any political or religious reasons art must not be a thing to be banned imho, since it is ridiculous to ban a thing which defines the humankind and it's power comes from core urges. Anyways art finds a way and insists to get out to the great openness of the earth no matter what.
The slippery slope there is that malicious people can redefine what art is and peddle all sorts of cultural weaponry as "art". All things in balance, especially tolerance.
You and Aquila hit it right on the nail. Art must be preserved and never censored but balance between tolerance and openness must be struck.
that has to be one of the most amazing messeges I ever red on ytb
don't seek the doctrines of men, worshiping idols, following their own lusts... seek The Truth on your own beloved ones. ask The Most High to lead you in His Ways (I believe this is outside the churches who delight in idols and icons, although I am sure they have many True Believers)
Roman and Greek are European.
Translation of greek words: Irene= peace(Ειρήνη), Nikephoros=victorious(Νικηφόρος), Hagia Sophia= Holy Wisdom(Αγία Σοφία), schism= gap/tear(σχίσμα), Thessaloniki=victory over the Thessalians(Alexander's sister name), Nicomedia=victory over the Medes(Persians)
Θεσσαλονίκη/Thessaloniki means "victory *at* Thessaly". It was an allied force of Macedonians and Thessalians that fought there against a common enemy.
And Nikephoros means "Victory bringer", not just victorious
The Medians were Iranians but they were not Persians.
@@sarban1653 yes but the Greek call the Persians ,Medes as later the Germanic s as Celts and later all the westvEuropians as Frank's
And later they use to call the Huns and the slavs Scuthian s .
@@dimitrismihalopoulos1469 yes, Nikiforos means the bringer of victory, literally "the one who carries the win"...
But I am not sure about Thessaloniki if it was about "a victory over the Thesalians" or "a victory of the Thessalians"...
The two words are Thessalon and Niki and in any case was a Makedonian victory, but can't remember, if it was the first its obvious, it's because Makedones win the Thessalous (Brothers kill Brothers) or if it is the second it must be due to a win that was given to the Macedonians due to their allied Thessalians allies...
(Thessalians was back and forth being enemies and aliens of Makedonian all the time until Alexander unified all Greece)
As a Catholic from Ireland, I appreciated it. It helps me to learn about the tragic schism. Wish all brothers and sisters of Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other Christian faith all good health.
Wishing you the best as well.
what about other religions
@@hetalvnNo!!
@@hetalvnThe topic is the tragic schism of Christendom, so involving other faiths would be a bit off topic. Secondly, it is naive to assume that other religions share your values even to the point that you should wish them good health (omitting such a wish is not the same as wishing someone ill health, but I'm not sure you'd want to wish good health upon ISIS -- or even someone like David Miscavige). Lastly, one could also ask "what about non-religious people?"
I find it hard to learn about this topic without wondering what a more united Christianity could have done in the face of the centuries long Jihad that conquered so many previously Christian lands. It may or may not have made a huge difference (by our standards) at the time, but what the world might look like now is an interesting thought. Did the world benefit from having various checks on Christian power over the centuries? Or would we have a more just, equal, and liberal North Africa and Middle East today if, say, the Crusades had been a far bigger success? It's a counterfactual, but an interesting one to ponder.

The schism affects us to this day.
My Grandma who was half-Greek and half-German was a Catholic due to her Germanic Heritage.
My Grandpa who was a Greek was Orthodox.
So there was a stupid issue when they were going to marry eachother. Where would they be wed in a Catholic Church or an Orthodox Church?
The couple themselves didn't care much but it was an issue with their parents. So they decided to compromise they would marry twice once in an Orthodox ceremony and once in a Catholic one. (AKA Double the cost of a wedding)
Since the husband was Orthodox they decided to do the Orthodox one first. Afterward my Grandma went to the Catholic Church in Athens to plan her wedding. Upon learning that the couple were already married in an Orthodox ceremony the bishop excommunicated my Grandma on the spot. She snapped at him telling him that even Jesus didn't excommunicate the ones who put him to the cross and she was getting excommunicated because she married an Orthodox?
That stunt although it impressed the bishop it wasn't enough to remove her excommunication. She died in 2014 and the Catholic Church refused to do her funeral we did it on an Orthodox one even though she wasn't an Orthodox Christian.
It wasn't because she was already married since wasn't rare for couples of different faiths to marry twice. And even if it was because of the marriage not the Orthodox part the church would simply refuse to marrie them not excommunicate the woman and refuse to do her burial 50+ years later.
But the sad part is our own family was split. We are not in good terms with pretty much anyone on my mom's Catholic side. And with those that we are in decent terms we barely speak to eachother at all.
Personally, I believe that the Scishim is stupid it tries to use the Will of God to abuse the worshipers. The Lord said after all "Love everyone".
Γρηγόρης Αράπης that's sad. And your grandma was right. Jesus didn't excommunicate anyone but the church feels the need to do so, what a joke
@@vadimdon agreed, thankfully as the church gets seperated more and more from power each year one day we all go back to being a single faith that praises the Lord for his love.

Simplistic, but fairly accurate.
The same can be said about the HRE and the Papal States
A tragicomical fact is, that as pope Leo IX had already died at 19th April, the excommunication enacted by Cardinal Humbert of Sevilla on 19th July 1054 was void, because Leo had only given a blanko excommunication, to be enacted in case the negotiation would fail. But by canonical law not only this document would´ve lost it´s validity with Leo´s death, but also the papal delegation had lost it´s authority, as they weren´t (yet) authorized by the new pope Victor II. But the news of Leo´s death hadn´t reached Constantinopel by the 19th July, and in the aftermath of the reciprocall excommunication all party´s were to proud and stubborn to acknowledge this fact, and get a compromise going.

Ferrer Mihkael I agree 1054 isn’t exactly right but it is when the first excommunications and anathemas were thrown around West vs East, mainly due to personal dislike. However they did show the importance of 1204 as the final nail in the coffin that split them from the commoners to hierarchs.

"Popery Puseyism Jesuitism"
By Luigi Desanctis
Page 140:
At what, then, do the Jesuits aim? According to them, they only seek the greater glory of God; but if you examine the facts you will find that they aim at universal dominion alone. They have rendered themselves indispensable to the Pope, who, without them, could not exist, because Catholicism is identified with them. They have rendered themselves indispensable to governors and hold revolutions in their hands; and in this way, either under one name or another, it is they who rule the world, who have reduced it to such perversion of ideas, that he can neither be a good citizen nor a good Catholic who is not a Jesuit.
Page 139:
He who thinks he knows the Jesuits by having read all the books that were written in the past century to unmask them, would be grossly deceived. The Jesuitism of that day was an open war against the Gospel and society; the Jesuitism of the present day is a slow but contagious and deadly disease, which secretly insinuates itself; it is a poison taken under the name of medicine.

take the Jesuit for what he ought or appears to be, and you commit the greatest of blunders. Draw the character after what the Jesuit seems to be in London, and you will not recognize your portrait in the Jesuit of Rome. The Jesuit is the man of circumstances. Despotic in Spain, constitutional in England, republican in Paraguay, bigot in Rome, idolater in India, he shall assume and act out in his own person, with admirable flexibility, all those different features by which men are usually to be distinguished from each other. He will accompany the gay woman of the world to the theatre, and will share in the excesses of the debauchee. With solemn countenance, he will take his place by the side of the religious man at church, and he will revel in the tavern with the glutton and the sot. He dresses, in all garbs, speaks all languages, knows all customs, is present everywhere though nowhere recognized-and all this, it should seem (O monstrous blasphemy!), for the greater glory of God

Danger lies in the fact that since the Vatican Council the interests of both are identical. Jesuitism is the power behind the Papal throne. “The presence of the Jesuits in any country, Romanist or Protestant,” once remarked Lord Palmerston, “ is likely to breed social disturbance.” So hurtful was the Jesuit Order found
to be that, up to 1860, it was expelled no fewer than seventy times from countries which has
suffered from its machinations...
In spite of Continental warnings, England, in the name of a spurious toleration, has become a Jesuit dumping-ground. Those whom
other countries have found from sad experience to be enemies, Britain allows to land on her shores, and to carry on unmolested their work of iniquity. We are carrying toleration to excess, and unless there is a change of policy, this nation will one day pay a heavy penalty. If we wish to escape the penalty, we must come to realize that a system which enslaves the individual, fosters superstition, is at war with patriotism and destroys morality, will, if allowed to flourish unchecked, sooner or later destroy society.

"Swarms of Locusts: The Jesuit attack on the Faith" 2002
by Michael Bunker
Page 12:
There is a conspiracy against Christendom.... But who are Satan’s agents in this conspiracy? The “agents” are the Jesuits.
Even though the Jesuits exude vast influence and control in the areas of theology, education, recorded history and current media, I am still perplexed that virtually no literature exists exposing the Jesuit’s influence on mainline Protestantism. This is what makes “Swarms of Locusts” such a necessary book. In this work, the author uncovers forgotten history regarding the cooperative salvation theology of the Jesuits. The author then builds upon these historical truths and clearly exposes how the Jesuits (and their cooperative redemption theology) have permeated all denominations of the Protestant Church. From Cain to Charles Finney, this book historically connects-the-dots and undeniably proves that modem Protestantism has abandoned the Doctrines of Grace and embraced the doctrines of cooperative salvation.
The Patriarchate of Constantinople was not saying it was the head highest power. The Bishop of Constantinople said all bishops are equal the Roman Bishop was the one fighting for power
Exactly, this video straw mans the entire schism into politics, and makes some straight out false statements. The schism was theological. But we hear none of this in order to undermine Christianity as a sort of "political religion". Jesus apparently started a "new religion" as one example. Complete ignorance imo.

@Lord Voldemort Caesar is what the German word for King (Kaizer) derives from. The Holy Roman Empire was a germanised continuation of Rome so it makes sense really.
"normans living peaceful lives" that statement is not possible
"Oh, you know... just following orders from our bastard king..."
-Sincerely, a Norman soldier
@Hoàng Nguyên That's pretty offensive
@Hoàng Nguyên Well it's okay then since they weren't vikings. That's probably why they actually brought something to england (mainly architectural techniques) . Italy is another matter though I admit.
@Hoàng Nguyên "Norman" in 1050 just meant "inhabitants of Normandy", which only had a small portion of scandinavian blood (since the frankish locals in Normandy have always been the majority), and which completely discarded scandinavian culture, so much that most didn't speak norse at all, just old french. William the conqueror itself had very few viking ancestors compared with the overwhelming majority of frankish ancestors. And by "frankish", I also mean what it meant at the time, not the germanic tribe of the 500s.
Normans and vikings were as close as germans and french. Not that close.
And btw Celtic people (Irish, Scot...) aren't Germanic, that's a different ethnicity. Russians are also a different ethnicity: Slav. It's just that historically the Rus' of kiev was kick started by scandinavians (which indeed are germanic).
@Hoàng Nguyên You're wrong. Celtic people are celtic people, slavs are slavs, germanic people are germanic people. Different ethnic groups historically speaking. Franks in 1050 mainly meant people from western frankia (not the former germanic tribe 5 centuries earlier), historians generally call them french already because in that west part they were already french culturally speaking (but they called themselves the franks). People in western frankia were for a large part from Gaulish ancestry (thus mainly Celtic), mixed with Germanic migrations (and a bit of roman migrations) throughout history. Frankish or french society was thus mixed, you can't consider french people strictly germanic, just a part. The normans consequently added to that mix.
Historically, the meaning of terms just depend on what era you're talking about. For example before the 900s "Norman" was indeed just the name of the vikings (the way french people called them, all of them). But once Rollo was given a duchy which was named Normandy and swear fealty to the king of France, Normans were the people that lived in the duchy of Normandy, a totally different thing. Then in one century and half, they totally assimilated to the locals of that region.
I think this is my favorite video from K&G.
It's a very coherent and storied piece that also represents the matured style of this channel.
"... had conquered the Saxons and the Avars, introducing these pagan people to the faith of the Roman Church." - well, that's a diplomatic way of putting it, lol!
You are sentient. All pay tribute to Rome or the legion will be at the door. The battle for rights of Roman tribute between the Greeks and Latins could be called the two thousand year war. Likely the Forth Crusade did not settle the issue completely amicable to the Papacy. The dollar sufficient evidence of our continued Roman indenture.
Forceful conversion is the more appropriate word
the catholic church murdered all the Christians who didn't follow in it's idolatry and false doctrines... they murdered millions of True Believers as well, not only pagans.... that church is well known for it's murderous ways.
rami chahin millions? Idolatry? My friend I’m gonna need some numbers because you Protestants haven’t exactly been too nice either, the Kulturkampf of Germany, persecution in England and its colonies, revolutionary France, Salem witch trials, my friend we’ve killed way fewer than millions, you people and your fanatic asceticism is fine, sure, but calling us idolatrous is foolish
@@ramichahin2 What is a pagan except he who does not subscribe to Roman idolatry? I say anthropomorphism is degenerate spirituality. For that matter, Capitalism is commodification of life or nature or God for personal aggrandizement. Capitalism is usury in fact and the worship of Moloch in practice. Spirit is beyond form or species or sex or time. We may check with our own for the truth of this. The art of man has no life of its own. Nor do his books or languages.
Dude the problem with Irene was not that "women were unfit to rule". Though not an usual thing, women could (and did) hold temporal power if the situation required it. They could not however (and still can't) hold positions of power in the Church.
The title of Emperor was different to every other one. The Emperor was the supreme sovereign of Christendom. It was both a temporal and spiritual office. Byzantium could be rule by a woman, Christendom couldn't.
Keep in mind too that there were loads of queens who did most of the major decision making through their husband, they basically just told the king what to say.
it did work when the Eastern Empire was dominant as the Patriarch was serving the Emperor or Empress
@@derekk.2263 "Loads" is an exaggeration. Medieval times were brutal and women received little to no education. Also, contrary to modern belief, the vast majority of queens were happy just being wives and didn't have any political aspirations. You do have examples of queens being more influential than their husbands, but it's a rare thing and only really started happening with the Renaissance, once women started receiving some education and the world got less brutal.
@Derek K. Examples? I’ll wait....
@One Two that’s bullshit. What survey is this? The churches have a good 5-15% of abuse amongst their clergymen (employees) just like most other organizations. It just gets way more scrutiny bc of who they are and what they are supposed to represent. Btw studies say 100% of people named One Two on UA-cam like men. See how that works?

I have a unique perspective on the division between the Orthodox and Catholic churches, since it could be said that I have one foot in each cultural world. My mom is Greek Orthodox, while my dad is Irish Catholic. I was raised and baptized into the Greek Orthodox Church, of which I am still a proud member, but my secondary, undergraduate and graduate education was at Catholic schools, run by the Xaverian and Jesuit orders. This video provides a very good summary of the events surrounding the schism between the churches
You should become Muslim :)
beta dad
Other than a few things like the fact the Orthodox Church would never agree that the pope was ever the sole power. The Church was, is and always will be the sole power. Though the fact there may be many scattered true Christians outside of it, the Orthodox Church was, is and will be to the end, the only true remnant of the Church God gifted to us. With His son Christ as the head under the Holy Spirit. Of course.
@@Orthodoxi
I'm a Catholic but the Orthodox priests in my country use the succession of Peter as a symbol of the supremacy of the bishop of Rome in settling the Ecumenical councils. The reason why Protestants still don't overwhelm the churches of Christ (Apostolic), are because of
1. The legitimacy of Ecumenical Councils, and
2. The apostolic succession.
Who is there to say that we can settle an Ecumenical council and settle it? Is it a democracy or not? Yes they chose who will replace Judas, but that's it. The rest supports the claims of the bishop of Rome, which succeeds from Peter. If you'll deny that the bishop of Rome descended from Peter, then you might as well deny the validity of the Ecumenical councils. There is a reason why Jesus gave keys to Peter referencing explicitly to Eliakim in Isaiah 22:22. Even if you read what Ireneus and various early Christian scholars noted the supremacy of the bishop of Rome. Israel was once ruled by many Judges, but there is an existing blueprint that Judah will be the kingdom. It existed there in the scriptures for so long. Back then they only see what is good in their own eyes, but when they become a kingdom, it is not also immediately accepted, they even went to civil war, to banishment, to enslavement, until they realize that it is true that Judah in all of the tribes is all along the sole authority despite being written there in the scriptures for so long. The same thing you can keep arguing now. Any Orthodox or Protestants of today can do councils upon councils that they wanted to, and keep on splitting, but if they don't trace where their roots are, and which authority was actually given to, the church would be shaky at its core. We Catholics don't even curse the Orthodox church, we see it as a part of the true original Catholic and Apostolic church that Jesus Christ made, that Ignatius the disciple of John mentioned as early as 1st century AD. But it is the Orthodox who claims that they are the "Only" church, and by saying so, gives also legitimacy to the "Lutherans and Anglicans" who traces their roots to the Apostles through the apostate priests who broke off from the Church and then used the Apostolic succession as their reasoning, mixed with blasphemy and protestantism against the Church.
Check out why the top intellectuals and scholars from Protestantism converts to Catholicism of all the Apostolic churches existing. People like Scott Hahn, Trent Horn, Cameroon, and so on.
@@Orthodoxi so Jesus words don't count? Peter you are my rock and upon my rock I will build my church? This is just a quick summary but the inevitable division by the East was material possession by emperors to inherit and hand over to their bloodline while the Pope is voted in and replaceable. On paper at least. The same case with the reformation of King Henry. Listen as a Asian man short brown and poor I never envy anyone's wealth because I understand that envy is the result of wanting to be in their place. In other words envious people are mad at handsome and rich people because they want to be them... What I'm trying to say is somebody has to be above you in this life and you have to learn to live with that because God is above you after you die. The Pope was put there by Jesus to be above emperor's Kings and all leaders. If the pope is bad he will be replaced.

"There's no such thing as toxic femininity." Nobody talks about Athaliah, queen of Judah (841-835 BC) who seized the throne after the death of her son King Ahaziah, killed her rivals, and established Baal worship in Judah.
"When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to destroy the whole royal family of the house of Judah." (2 Chronicles 22: 10).
I'm sure toxic femininity exists, but that's not an example of it.
So when Ivan the Terrible killed his son, Constantine “the Great” killed his wife and son, Süleyman killed several of his sons was not a toxic masculinity, but when Irene did it it suddenly is.

There is a conspiracy against Christendom.... But who are Satan’s agents in this conspiracy? The “agents” are the Jesuits.
Even though the Jesuits exude vast influence and control in the areas of theology, education, recorded history and current media, I am still perplexed that virtually no literature exists exposing the Jesuit’s influence on mainline Protestantism. This is what makes “Swarms of Locusts” such a necessary book. In this work, the author uncovers forgotten history regarding the cooperative salvation theology of the Jesuits. The author then builds upon these historical truths and clearly exposes how the Jesuits (and their cooperative redemption theology) have permeated all denominations of the Protestant Church. From Cain to Charles Finney, this book historically connects-the-dots and undeniably proves that modem Protestantism has abandoned the Doctrines of Grace and embraced the doctrines of cooperative salvation.
The parallax animations of these videos are absolutely spectacular!
The filioque controversy had less to do with an actual disagreement in how the east and west percieved the spirit of God, and more to do with changing what was at the time already an ancient creed. Essentially the western roman church added a clarification statement to the nicene creed and the eastern roman church was upset that the west was making changes to ancient creeds without the patriarchs permission.
Could be wrong but that's what i've heard at least.
It was all about politics/authority disputes
The Orthodox Church sees it as a false addition that disrupts the previous understanding of the Holy Trinity
Actually, the Filioque addition to the Creed is not considered ecumenical since the Western church made the changes unilaterally and without the Eastern church involvement ( by définition non-ecumenical). Thus, the Orthodox stick to the original Nicean Creed without the Filioque which is how the last ecumenical council left it (where it was agreed upon by all).
@@georgemarkakis9552 Actually the Orthodox use the amended Nicene Creed which they clarified in 381 at the Council of Constantinople of which no western bishop was present…
It's always this. Western heathens always wanted changes as per their wims of the time.

Though being Muslim but such division saddens me. I'm from Albania and I can still feel this division where Catholic and Orthodox Albanians have always argued against each other due to their differences and Orthodox Albanians have sometimes been blamed as Serbian/Greek/Macedonian agents though I view them as Albanians. The two churches need to settle their differences.
By settle differences, I hope you mean the Pope removing the doctrines of Papal supremacy, infallibility, filioque, immaculate conception, purgatory, and penal substitution. Because true faith and objective truth can’t compromise and contradict itself for the sake of resolving differences.

@vasiliskaranos605 True faith has nothing to do with objective truth. It's an oxymoron. You either believe in something, and it [might] turn out to be true or know something that is true. So it's obvious that objective true will contradict true faith in many cases.

5:47 orthodox Christians don’t worship images and icons, it’s called veneration and it’s a symbol of love and respect for whoever or whatever is depicted on the icon. Not worshiping the icon itself.
It is hard to distinguish. At the end of the day, you are bowing down to an in-graven image, which makes you an idol worshiper.
@@greatexpectations6577 ah yes and every time someone bows to a king or queen that’s idol worship? When you kiss your grandma that’s idol worship?
@@sidpan8218 Actually, yes.
@@greatexpectations6577 Catholics and Orthodox Christians are no more idol worshippers than Protestants are Bible worshippers.
@@greatexpectations6577 from the outside it really seems that way. But no one in Orthodoxy is saying that image is a "god" and worshipping it. From what I understand is that they are looking at the verses where Paul says "for we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses in the saints who have gone before us. Therefore brothers and sisters let us run our race not in vain."(paraphrased) thus the showing respect to those ancestors who lived their lives righteously and are "now seated with Christ in heavenly places"
As to the "praying to" again this isn't seen or acted upon as praying to God himself, which they still do. But rather the concept behind that is that just as we are told to go to one another and seek corporate prayer, i.e. someone's child is struggling with addiction so they go to their church and ask people to join with them in prayer for this person thus showing the unity of Christ' body, so they go to the saints who have passed. As it says in Hebrews(I think) "for Christ rose from the grave. Therefore God is not Lord of the dead but of the Living" the belief is that the saints though dead on earth are alive and seated with Christ and while yes we have unfiltered access to Christ(see the tearing of the veil) how much more so is the access of those who are seated next to them and as you may ask a brother at Church to pray for a struggle so you ask the saints.
As a protestant, once looked at in the true light of where the tradition comes from I really fail to see the Idol worship. They still profess the Lord Jesus Christ is their savior and is Himself God and the Son of God, one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. They still offer their worship to Him and Him alone and show respect and honor to those church fathers who have already passed on. There's more but honestly The Ten Minute Bible Hour has a wonderful series where he goes and talk with the various Orthodox churches and sits down with a Catholic theologian friend and discusses all of this, I highly recommend watching it.
That was an incredibly awesome video and covered most of the facts. You could have done some mentions on the attempts made between 1261 and 1453 for a solution of the Schism (like the Florence Council) even though popular controversy and bad timing proved these attempts fruitless....
As a Catholic I have nothing but love for my Eastern Orthodox brothers and sisters. I listen to eastern religious chanting and love the Byzantine Empire.
The Jesus Prayer is one of the greatest gifts they've given.

when you recently watched the video on the Normans in southern Italy, and then get to 13:29 in this video
"Oh yeah. It's all coming together."
Imagine if Charlemagne had actually married Irene. Wow. That would be incredible.
He did a smart call, that woman plucked out her owns son's eyes... Would you want to marry a woman that ruthless and cold?
The East Roman nobility would never accept him as an imperial consort , never mind co-ruler. Irene was likely menopausal by that age, so it's unlikely they would have children, and even if they had imperial blood was no concrete guarantee to being Basileus (being half barbarian would be an obstacle). It's doubtful as well that Louis the Pious would want to share his kingdom with an infant half brother, as Frankish law dictated. Charlemagne only lived to 814 as well, so any child between the imperial couple would be 14 at the oldest by that point. It's a fascinating idea to think about, but I doubt it would've had a long lasting effect, certainly not one past the half century mark
It would kind of be like if Donald Trump married Angela Merkel, if Charlemagne had been an ignorant lout with all the intellectual acumen of a hedgehog.
Not really. The Byzantine court would not have tolerated a Western barbarian calling the shots! It's more likely Irene would have been overthrown than an heir inheriting the Byzantine and Frankish realms!

Great video. This might be one of the best history channels on UA-cam. Great content. However, in this case it would have been great if you'd had mentioned the nullification of mutual anathemas through the Catholic-Orthodox Joint Declaration of 1965, that put an end to the excomunications.
".. laid a letter of excommnication in Hagia Sofia"
I actually hit pause, and went "woooah!"
As an outsider, it surely looks like it was the pope who was escalating the stakes all the time.
"You can't fire mehhh! I quit !!!!" 😤😡
Shut up bitch
That what orthodox think too,even if the father from Rome is called "the first among equals".
Generally this is poorly researched, the Papal Legate that did that did not have the authority from the pope to do that and the easterners would have known this (in addition to the fact the pope had died and so he had no authority of any kind anyway)
Heavy move but there are so many factors that go into not only the lead up but also this act itself that it should have been ignored by both sides (& apologized by the new Pope). At this point schism was going to happen.
Late to this but superbly explained. I showed this to my daughter to explain her Orthodox heritage better than I could.
Maybe I'm wrong but at 17:55, after the sack of Constantinople, the successor state that formed in western Greece was the Despotate of Epirus, not Albania. Or at the very least, Albania did not occupy land so far south into Epirus, if anything it was the Despotate who controlled southern Albania.
Your right that should definitely be Epirus, not Albania.

@@alanguages untrue, very untrue. Of course Christians care about the original Christians from Jerusalem, it’s a holy city and people fought for it in the crusades.
It was called Hierosolym back then.
@@theodorusstevensitanggang6130 That's partially true. The concept of the 5 patriarchates (Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Alexandria, in geographical order) dates to Justinian in the 6th century. It is often used retroactively to explain the situation in the Christian Church in the 2 centuries prior to that. It's an anachronism, but not a bad approximation.
Can't help but think Kings and Generals and Knowledgia did a collab on this subject, they've each covered the historical and theological background of the schism respectively and the two videos complement each other so well.
