​@@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.

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.

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.

Oh shit my mom is named Irene.

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".

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.

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.

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.

WOW! What a fact packed 20 minutes! I'll have to watch this a few more times! Thank you!

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.

Also, "first-among-equals" isn't identical to one man deciding alone for the Church.

Social, cultural, and political differences are the main reason the Schism has persisted. There were multiple attempts at repairing the relationship over the ensuing centuries, but power struggles, miscommunications, and eventually a complete lack of interest on both sides in giving anything up have caused the doctrinal issues at the heart of the split to grow and become intractable problems, instead of solvable ones.

Excellent overview. Thank you! Your effort is very much appreciated.

One minor but important correction to this video. Before the great schism and one of the reasons for it was that the patriarchs of the church were all considered equals in matters of faith. The patriarch of Rome (the pope) was considered the "first among equals" and was not supposed to make decisions on cue matters of faith without an ecumenical council. Yet the pope added a word to the Nicean creed (a creed developed at an ecumenical council) to clarify the creed to some of its German converts. This infuriated Constantinople since they believed that the pope did not have authority to do this without an ecumenical council. After the split, Rome grew more and more excessive in its grab for power and money in Europe which ultimately triggered the reformation. The big question is why the reformers didn't push harder for communion with the East and instead forged its own path. Now Protestantism has had more internal schisms than either the Roman or Eastern church and Lutheranism is closer in practice to Catholicism than it is to Pentecostalism. Though in many ways protestant theology is far closer to orthodox theology than it is to Catholic theology, their practices are worlds apart.

@delgande

2 жыл бұрын

The power grabs were the only "legitimate" reasons for the protestants. Theologically they're barren. German princes helped Luther spread. They were so allied that Luther even attacked peasants and called for their slaughter. Protestants denied the 7 sacraments that both East and West churches had. They deny the basics of Christianity formed over 1500 years. They only succeeded because of political reasons, like medici corruption, land grabs, etc. This is why there was no such revolution in the East. If it was truly theological then the East should've had a reformation earlier especially since they used a common language like Greek unlike the alienating Latin of the west.

@@MH3GL Honestly? You would have to take a course or find some good books on the history of religion. As this doc points out, the base religion is divided. Catholicism is an offshoot of Judism. The Bible clearly shows the progression of Judism and how Jesus started another religious movement. His goal was to embrace people of different backgrounds. Yet, many old Jews chose to remain less secular. Anyone can convert to Judism, Trumps daughter, Ivanka is a practicing converted Jew. However, it had a bad reputation in many lands. As the Roman's accepted Christianity, they helped to form the new religion, the Roman Catholic Church. This United a lot of people of different classes and grew to become a very powerful force to aid royalty to either retain or obtain power over the people. Once the Bible was distributed in print, followers questioned the many non-biblical events practiced by the Catholic Church. There are some obvious contradiction. This is often because the Catholic religion converted pagan celebrations into religious ones. It is how the very time of Jesus's birth was weaved into December rather then the Spring when traveling made more sense. The three Magi? Was an attempt to pull in Middle Eastern people to the religion and make it seem more believable and acceptable. It helps to study the cultures of other parts of the World. The World was not flooded over because there is historical accounts during that time found in Northern Cultures. But it can be stated, that in how small the world was to societies that did not travel the world? Such mistakes in historical accounts will happen. A believer of good intensions needs to accept that Bible History, is not perfect. It is mens interpretation of what they believe their God wants from them to share. Their intentions were not always wise because it is based on common knowledge at that time in history. Things were much different then. Not everything in the Bible is relevent today. That is because if you study the Bible, you will see how culture changed as people learned better ways to live and discovered more answers to questions that were theories not proven true by facts. That is why preachers say religion is based on faith. You either believe it is true or you don't. The only thing that makes a God true is people choosing to believe in something that cannot be confirmed as a fact. It only hurts people when it is being used to hurt people not to help people. This is when religion is a stumbling block and not a ladder to a successful life.

On a whole, I find it very odd that 3 of the most abundant religions of the world (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism) all pray to the same God (the god of Moses) and yet are all at war with one another over whose faith/God is the "true faith/God." Rather amusing. In your initial comment, you stated that many rituals in Catholicism were not biblical in origin, but "added panacea," and I was simply asking for clarification on that. Yes, I'm aware Christmas is based on a pagan holiday. I was not aware that the 3 magi were added in to be more appeasing to easterners - but it makes sense. Are there any other examples you can provide? As I said, I'm familiar, but not an expert. So while I may be aware of what I was taught, I may not be fully aware of the implications behind its origins. So I'm simply appealing to someone who appears to have more knowledge than I.

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.

@@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.

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.

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

@@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.

As a new Catholic convert I appreciated this video. I never understand the schism. I pray for reunification, because I know Christ wants all Christians to be united.

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.

I hated history my entire life, but this video just made the miracle. Thank you. I enjoyed watching and listening every second of it! :D

The Pope, in the first place, was considered "first among equals" rather than the supreme authority of all Christianity: it was more the political maneuvers of the bishop of Rome that allowed him to become the "highest authority in the material world", maneuvers, many sometimes based on conscious lying, as was the so-called "Donation of Constantine".

@SpectatorAlius

I was wondering when someone would make that correction! Yes, the Roman Pope, when he was still Orthodox, was "first among equals" -- and there was a lot of disagreement over that that really meant! But Rome was also the ecclesiastical court of final instance. That is not quite the same thing as "supreme authority of all Christianity", but I can see how people would confuse the two -- sometimes deliberately.

@garrettkalker3214

The “Donation of Constantine” wasn’t the basis of the Pope’s authority, but used as an argument for the Popes authority on secular worldly matters-not theological ones. The bishop of Rome always had primacy over the other apostolic successors in theological issues due to his succession from Peter in Rome-the very earliest Christians recognized this in the first three centuries of Christianity and in the times before Christianity became legal (if you need primary sources just hmu). In any case, the Donation was, again, an argument for secular worldly authority in addition to theological authority (since it allowed the Catholic Church to have a more legitimate claim to be the successor of the Roman Empire in addition to being Peter’s successor)

@HolyknightVader999

Жыл бұрын

He never was the highest authority in the material world. When popes made such claims, the Catholic world either laughed at him, or arrested and replaced him. Only Innocent III successfully wielded temporal power, and that was because he had good friends like Richard the Lionheart and Philip II of France. Later popes who tried to assert worldly power were kicked to the curb and replaced with popes who stuck to the spiritual sphere.
