The Greek Byzantines:
|
DescriptionThe Eastern Church as it came to be called was based in Constantinople and the Western Church was based in Rome. The missionaries of the Eastern Church dominated eastern Europe and especially Russia whereas the Western Church concentrated their attention to western Europe from where the Protestant reformations occurred beginning in the early 16th century with Martin Luther. However it was the Great Schism of 1054 A.D. that created the major polarization of Rome from Constantinople and the Byzantines were identified more with the Greek world and the "Romans" with the Latin world. The Crusades that followed made the split permanent.
