Description

A Project Report Submitted to the Faculty In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Theological Studies. — Tulsa, OK: Phillips Theological Seminary, 2015. — 87 p."The Council of Ferrara-Florence (hereafter, CF) was the last de jure Ecumenical Council of the Christian Church. In 1439, it produced the short-lived Union between the Roman Catholic Church and the conglomerate of Eastern Orthodox Churches. The importance of this council is hard to exaggerate. CF became the turning point of the divide between the Christian East and West. Both sides might have reached the condition of the actual schism earlier. Particularly, I point to the period immediately after of the Sack of Constantinople and the establishment of the Latin Empire during the Fourth Crusade in1204. Nevertheless, it was CF and its aftermath where Eastern Orthodox Churches came to the understanding on the real dimensions of the divide between them and the See of Rome. The events after CF confirmed de jure the existing de facto realities of the schism. . ."
