Eastern Schism, The : A Study of the Papacy and the Eastern Churches during the XIth and XIIth Centuries
Overview: This book, based on seven Waynflete Lectures delivered at Magdalen College, Oxford, in the spring of 1954, is an attempt to tell the story of the final breach between the Church of Rome and the Eastern Orthodox Churches in its proper historical perspective. It used to be supposed that the breach took place in A.D. 1054 and was mainly caused by differences in doctrine and liturgical practice. The author shows that the arbitrary date ofd 1054 must be rejected. The Schism was due to the divergences in tradition and ideology between Eastern and Western Christendom, which had grown up during earlier centuries and which were brought to a head by the Norman invasions of Byzantine Italy, by the eleventh-century reform of the Papacy, and by the whole movement of the Crusades, and it did not reach its final stage till the beginning of the thirteenth century.
