-Reason 2: There was an argument as to the place of the holy spirit within the faith. At the Council of Nicaea it was agreed that the Holy Spirit proceeded from the Father and by the 9th century the Catholic Church had changed it to 'and the son' or filioque in Latin.

-They then both proceeded to excommunicate each other, essentially solidifying the split. It was Cardinal Humbert of France who excommunicated Patriach Michael of Constantinople.

-The reasons for drawing up his 95 theses was as follows: The Church sold tickets or Indulgences which suggested that you could buy your way into Heaven, sermons were in Latin therefore ordinary people couldn't read it nor interpret it or themselves, religious posts were often bought, fake religious artefacts were sold to peasants.

-The nominal head of the Orthodox Church is the Patriach of Constantinople but all of the Patriach's are equal.

-The Archbishop of Canterbury is the head of the largest Protestant Church.

-Aimed to restore the Pope to power and valued the Pope over national ties. "soldiers of Christ" and "for the greater glory of God"

-Dispatched to all 4 of the known continents to spread the word by showing the lord's love and affection through charitable works.

-Council of Trent where the teachings of the Protestant reformation was vigorously rejected.

-Protestants emphasise faith alone whilst the Jesuits emphasised good deeds. The Church emphasised the need for bishops and Popes and interpreters of the scripture (of course) whilst the Protestants said scripture alone is important.

Ecumenism is the belief that all of the churches should be united as Jesus would've wanted and it emphasises the similarities between the denominations rather than the differences.

-Examples of ecumenism in practice are the Taize community which was founded by Brother Rodger in 1940, in 1910 there was the world missionary conference so they weren't competing for converts and in 1948 the world council of churches was formed which aimed to provide financial support for refugees, support civil rights, solve moral and spiritual problems, send aid to countries and to unite Christendom. However, the RC church didn't join which made up 61% of the worlds Christian population.

-Reasons against Ecumenism: Many

-The main aim was trying to modernise the Church so they wouldn't be competing for converts and establish friendly relations.

-The Catholic Church accepted that all Churches were the true churches, the excommunication was revoked, Catholics and non-Catholics should have equal rights and both Protestants and Catholics were responsible for the mistakes of the reformation.

The Bible: Could be read in different languages and new translations could be made.

The Clergy: Only celibate men could become priests however married men could become deacons.

Nature of the Church: All of the Church are the people of God and not just the  clergy, the Pope is the head of the Church but the decisions must be ran past the bishops and each national Church will have regular meetings.

The Church and the world: They became more political and openly opposed discrimination, condemned the arms race and announced solidarity with the poor.

Changes to the Liturgy: Mass could be said in the language of the country, communion could be given under both kinds (as in literal or non literally the body and blood of Christ) and more than one priest could say mass at once.
