Question

Which of the four statements apply to eastern orthodoxy and not roman catholicism at the same time of the great schism?

(two answers)
A) the pope has authority over all political rulers

B) the emperor has authority over the pope

C) priests are allowed to marry

D) The official language is latin

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) priests are allowed to marry.

The statement that applies to Eastern Orthodoxy and not Roman Catholicism at the same time as the Great Schism is "priests are allowed to marry."

The Catholic Church has never allowed priests to get married.

The Great Schism happened in 1054. This split the Church into two divisions: the Catholic Roman Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Many theological and political reasons made the separation inevitable, such as the power of the pope and the Nicenon-Constantinople Creed.

Answer 2

The Roman Catholicism used the Latin language to evangelize the people, while the Eastern Church translated the Bible into the languages of the people. Besides this, there were many other differences between the churches, being one of them the fact that the priests of the Orthodoxy Church were allowed to marry, contrary to the ones in the Roman church, who were required celibacy.

Answer is C.
