During the Middle Ages in Europe, Christianity developed and spread in the following ways:
The Council of Nicea in 325 AD established the basic tenets of Christianity. Emperor Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire to Constantinople and missionaries spread Christianity throughout Europe. Emperor Justinian constructed churches throughout the Byzantine Empire, showing the close connection between church and state. The Church grew powerful in Medieval Europe and became a central, unifying force as Charlemagne was crowned emperor by the Pope. However, a Great Schism in 1054 AD divided Christianity into Western Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy.Sects in christianity

Religion in ancient Rome was polytheistic and based on Greek gods. Emperors were generally tolerant of other religions but expected people to respect Roman gods. When Rome conquered Judea in 63 BC, they allowed Hebrews to govern if they respected Roman laws, but many refused to worship Roman gods due to monotheism. This led to resistance and belief that a Messiah would restore the kingdom. Jesus was born in Judea in the early 1st century AD and began preaching a unique form of Judaism known as Christianity. He was crucified for defying Roman authority in 29 AD. The apostle Paul helped mold Jesus' teachings into a new religion of Christianity based on Jesus being God's son whoVariants of christianity

Christianity began in Judea, which was controlled by the Roman Empire. Jesus Christ was born in Judea and taught a new form of Judaism emphasizing God's love. He had twelve apostles as disciples. Some Jews believed Jesus was the messiah, but Roman authorities had him crucified. Christians believe Jesus resurrected three days later and forgave sins, allowing people to reach heaven. The apostles spread Christianity despite persecution, and it grew until becoming the Roman Empire's official religion under Constantine. Christianity then diversified into branches like Catholicism and Protestantism.3.Church History

Christianity emerged in the Levant in the mid-1st century AD and spread throughout the Near East and Mediterranean Basin. Early Christians faced persecution but the religion continued to grow. The central teachings of Christianity are that Jesus is the Son of God, who was crucified and resurrected as proof of God's forgiveness of sins. Fasting and prayer are important practices that help Christians focus on God rather than worldly things. Christian ethics are based on concepts from the Bible of right and wrong behavior, and that the Bible is the fundamental source of Christian ethics, though interpretations vary between Christian traditions.6.3 the spread of christianity

The Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) marked a major turning point in the Catholic Church. Pope John XXIII called the Council to make the Church more relevant to the modern world. Over 2,500 bishops and theological experts attended. While some criticized that Vatican II led to decline, others saw it energizing and empowering the Church. The Council produced 16 documents to guide the Church, including constitutions on the Church, divine revelation, the liturgy, and the Church in the modern world. It aimed to update the Church for a changing world, rather than dogmatically defining new beliefs.Brief hist of christianity

A cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the Catholic Church does not have its origin in the teachings of Jesus or His apostles. In the New Testament, there is no mention of the papacy, worship/adoration of Mary (or the immaculate conception of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix), petitioning saints in heaven for their prayers, apostolic succession, the ordinances of the church functioning as sacraments, infant baptism, confession of sin to a priest, purgatory, indulgences, or the equal authority of church tradition and Scripture.

Not exactly thousands of years after the death of Jesus, but the Great Schism of 1054 separated the Christian Church into East and West.
The Western Church are the Roman Catholics of today.
Catholic is Greek for universal.
The Eastern Byzantine Church was initially centered in Constantinople before the invasion of the Turks.
What about the priests in both religions--can priests marry in both faiths?
Is Christmas celebrated by both faiths on the same day?

The social and ideological divide between churches that eventually led to the Great schism in 1054, had its origins much earlier. This is marked with the division of the Roman Empire into east and west.
Constantinople as capital of the eastern empire and became the Byzantine Empire, with Rome the capital of the Western Roman Empire.
Over hundreds of years since it was divided, these two Empires developed independent and separate cultures to further this separation of cultures and thinking.
Since many of the citizens and peoples of Byzantine were of Greek origin, the Byzantine Emperor, Heraclius, (610-641) also completed the Hellenization of the Empire by making Greek, replacing latin, as the official language of the Empire.
There were many dividing issues concerning the practice of religion between the two states.
The Eastern Church did not agree with the changes in doctrine and rituals that the Roman catholic church instituted in their church.
The Eastern church was more traditional or Orthodox, and did not wish to change the original Christian catholic worship and rituals. They consider themselves the true church.
The head of the Eastern Orthodox church known as the Patriarch of Constantinople is the equivalent to the position of the Pope in Rome, but he has no power to interfere with the 12 other Orthodox communions.
The Orthodox Church claims to be the one true church of Christ, and seeks to trace its origin back to the original apostles through an unbroken chain of apostolic succession. The growing differences between these two churches finally led to a major split, each with their own heads and hierarchy.
Recently, Pope Francis, of the Catholic church, and the Patriarch of the Eastern Orthodox church met for the first time, to discuss and improve relations in an attempt for reconciliation of their

The Protestant Perspective:
Civilization And The Protestant Reformation, by John W. Robbins
Martin Luther nailed 95 theological propositions challenging the sale of indulgences by the Catholic Church in 1517, sparking the Protestant Reformation. The Reformation established principles of democracy, constitutionalism, religious liberty, and a free market economy. It promoted the idea that all individuals have equal standing before God and law, weakening political and religious hierarchies. By translating the Bible into common languages, Luther empowered individuals to interpret scripture for themselves rather than rely on clergy. The Reformation transformed Western society, politics, law, and economics.10 new world and columbian exchange reading

The document summarizes some of the key differences between Protestant and Catholic theology and practices during the Reformation period. The Protestant view emphasized salvation through faith alone, access to God for all believers without priests, and interpreting scripture independently. The Catholic view maintained that good works and the priesthood were necessary along with faith for salvation. Catholics saw scripture and tradition as revealing doctrine, while Protestants viewed the Bible as the sole source. Other differences included the number of sacraments, whether communion represented a repeated sacrifice, and the concept of predestination.8 reformation timeline 1 page

Martin Luther critiques the power and authority of the papacy in three key ways:
1) He argues that the Roman Catholics have built "three walls" to protect themselves from reform - claiming sole authority over temporal power, sole right to interpret scripture, and sole right to call councils.
2) Luther asserts that these claims of sole authority have no basis in scripture and are only valid if not harmful to Christianity. When the pope deserves punishment, these claims no longer apply.
3) He contends that when necessity demands it, such as when the pope is an offense to Christianity, any person able should call a council without the pope's approval in order to punish the pope and6 protestant reformation in one page

Martin Luther initiated the Protestant Reformation in 1517 by posting his 95 theses criticizing the Catholic Church. He advocated for a church founded on faith alone rather than works, in opposition to the corruption and power of the Papacy. Other reformers like Ulrich Zwingli and the Anabaptists further split from Luther over issues like the sacraments. Henry VIII broke from Rome for political reasons when the Pope did not grant his divorce. John Calvin split over the concept of predestination, and Protestantism continued fragmenting into various denominations like Calvinism. The Catholic Church launched a Counter-Reformation to combat the spread of Protestantism through measures like the Inquisition and Council of Trent.5 renaissance figures speak for themselves

The document provides an overview of medieval Europe from the fall of Rome to the Renaissance. It summarizes that the Western Roman Empire fell in 476 AD due to various internal and external factors. While Rome fell, the Eastern Roman Empire continued on as the Byzantine Empire based in Constantinople. After the fall of Rome, Europe was politically fragmented with no central government and was dominated by invading Germanic tribes. Charlemagne was able to unite much of Western Europe under the Frankish Kingdom in the 9th century, which became known as the Holy Roman Empire. Feudalism developed as a political and economic system during this period characterized by a hierarchy of land ownership and obligations between lords and vassals.

Between 1400 and 1500, Europe transitioned from decentralized feudal systems to centralized nation-states. This was driven by several factors, including the rise of the middle class which weakened feudal lords, war between feudal lords that led to unified kingdoms, and the development of ideas around political states and divine rights of kings. Key events included the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella in 1469 which unified Spain, and the War of the Roses in England which ended in 1485 with the victory of Henry Tudor, establishing a strong centralized English nation-state.
