EMA 18.5 | The Orthodox-Catholic Divide That Still Splits Europe

In the 1990s, Serbia and Croatia — two countries sharing the same language and Slavic ancestry — fought one of the most brutal wars in modern European history. The roots of that conflict trace back a thousand years, to a line drawn across Europe by rival missionaries from Rome and Constantinople. This video maps the Great Schism of 1054 and its lasting consequences: how five key theological differences between Catholicism and Orthodoxy shaped alphabets, architecture, political systems, and national identities across the continent. Key concepts covered: • The Great Schism of 1054: how Pope Leo IX and Patriarch Michael Cerularius formalized centuries of divergence between Latin West and Greek East • Five civilizational differences between Orthodox and Catholic Christianity: authority (patriarchs vs. Pope), liturgical language (vernacular vs. Latin), clergy marriage, sacred art (icons vs. statues), and worship style • How Byzantine missionaries converted Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, and Russia while Roman missionaries converted Poland, Croatia, Hungary, and the Czech lands • Serbia and Croatia: same language (Serbo-Croatian), different alphabets (Cyrillic vs. Latin), different civilizations — and the fault line behind the Yugoslav Wars • The Baptism of Kievan Rus in 989 CE and how Russia absorbed Byzantine architecture, iconography, and imperial ceremony • The Doctrine of the Three Romes: how a Russian monk named Filofei claimed Moscow as the successor to Rome and Constantinople as guardian of Orthodox Christianity • The civilizational boundary that still shapes European politics from the Balkans to Ukraine ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SOURCE MATERIALS The source materials for this video are from    • 18. The Early Middle Ages, 284--1000: The ...
