The somewhat ironically titled "Great Schism" is one of the great tragedies of the Christian Church, resulting in one of the largest and most long-lasting divisions the Church has ever endured. The mutual excommunications between the bishop of Rome and the bishop of Constantinople in 1054 did not happen overnight. Tensions had grown to a boiling point, and in this video, Erick Ybarra joins me to help walk us through what some of the key reasons behind the great schism were. In doing so, my hope is that it will help you understand some of the deep seated divisions between Catholics and Orthodox, and maybe, just maybe, help heal old wounds. Specifically, we look at four contributing factors to the schism: leavened vs. unleavened bread, the insertion of the filioque, the theology of the filioque, and the jurisdiction of the bishop of Rome. These issues continue to divide Orthodox and Catholics, so if you're like me, trying to sort through these divisions, I think this video will be of great help to you.

About Gospel Simplicity:
Gospel Simplicity began as a YouTube channel in a Moody Bible Institute dorm. It was born out of the central conviction that the gospel is really good news, and I wanted to share that with as many people as possible. The channel has grown and changed over time, but that central conviction has never changed. Today, we make content around biblical and theological topics, often interacting with people from across the Christian tradition with the hope of seeking greater unity and introducing people to the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel, the good news about Jesus.

About the host:
Hey! My name is Austin, and I'm a 23 year old guy who’s passionate about the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel. I believe that the gospel, the good news about Jesus, is really good news, and I’m out to explore, unpack, and share that good news with as many people as possible. I'm a full blown Bible and Church History nerd that loves getting to dialogue with others about this, learning as much as I can, and then teaching whatever I can. I grew up around Frederick, MD where I eventually ended up working my first job at a church. They made the mistake of letting me try my hand at teaching, and instantly I fell in love. That set me on a path for further education, and I'm currently a student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL, studying theology. On any given day you can find me with my nose in a book or a guitar in my hands. Want to get to know me more? Follow me and say hi on Instagram at: @austin.suggs
