Origin Of the Greek Church.

OVt0sU OF SnS 0ToSW OUOTGUs
Apart from theological discussions,
such as those rising from the addition
Of the words. "and the son." In the
creed, the separation Of the Latin and
Greek churches may be traced to the
founding of Constantinople and the
political division Of the Roman EN-
pire, according to Bible student.
Ignatius, patriarch of Constantinople,
had been deposed, and was succeeded
by Photius, who summoned council
Of the east In S67, and passed SEN
tence Of accommodation on the hfsh-
op Of Rome. The churches became re-
united towards the end Of the ninth
century, and remained so Until the
middle Of the eleventh veatnry, when
In 1854 Michael Cervlarius, patriarch
Of the East, renewed the epndemIfA-
ton Of the Latin church, and Was in
turn accommodated BY Pope j Leo
*, Efforts toward reunion were
made from time to time. and at Fer
rara (l430) the Greek prelates signed
a decree Of union, but were forced
By the people and clergy to repudiate
1t. Since then the two communions
have remained separate.
