  • “Going to Canossa” – Exploring the Popular Historical Idiom
    “Going to Canossa” – Exploring the popular historical idiom NCSS Thematic Strand(s): Time, Continuity, and Change (Power, Authority, and Governance) Grade Level: 7-12 Class Periods Required: One 50 Minute Period Purpose, Background, and Context In order to make history more tangible and explain historical references in context, we are tracing common idioms to their historical roots. The popular idiom (at least in Germany/Europe) to indicate reluctant repentance or “eating dirt” is ‘taking the walk to Canossa’ which references the climax of the Investiture Conflict in the 11th century CE culminating in the below scandal between Emperor Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII. In previous classes we have discussed the political structures of the time, the power struggles between Church and state, and the social background leading up to this event. We will illuminate the political/religious situation of interdependence and power- play leading up to this éclat, the climax of the Investiture Conflict, why it was such a big affair for both sides, and how it was resolved, i.e. who “won” (initial appearances). Additionally, the implications for European rule, the relation between secular and religious rulers after Canossa will be considered in the lessons following this one. Objectives & Student outcomes Students will: Examine historical letters between Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII regarding the excommunication, pictures depicting the events at Canossa and others (NCSS Standards 2010, pp. 30-31) Apply critical thinking skills to historical inquiry by interpreting, analyzing and synthesizing events of the past (NCSS Standards 2010, pp. 30-31) Understand the historical significance of the Investiture Conflict and the results of the previous and ensuing power politics in Europe (NCSS Standards 2010, pp.

  • East and West: Cultural Dissonance and the “Great Schism of 1054”
    1 East and West: Cultural Dissonance and the “Great Schism of 1054” Margaret Trenchard-Smith, Loyola Marymount University Perception is an overwhelming force. Collective perceptions can be contra-factual. The memories of individuals, of institutions, often magnify the inconsequential, distort or omit. A failure of memory can be total, through accident or deliberate oblivion. Shared recollections and the narratives they form shape perceptions. Yet even when these things are faulty, they can have as much force as if they were sound—just as the effects of a rumor can be as damaging when false as when founded in fact.1 The “Great Schism of 1054” is perceived by many to be the momentous event that resulted in the permanent sundering of the “Western” Roman Catholic and “Eastern” Orthodox branches of Christendom.2 Factually, however, there is a problem with this perception, since it can plausibly be argued on technical and practical grounds (and has been argued by scholars like Francis Dvornik and Steven Runciman) that no schism occurred in 1054—certainly not the “Great Schism.”3 The perception of schism came about through cultural dissonance and alienation East and West which grew until at last the divorce became reality. When precisely that happened, however, is unclear. If not in 1054, when did the formal schism of the Great Church occur? Did it occur? From whose perspective, and by what criteria? There is no scholarly consensus on these questions.4 Please bear in mind that this paper has been written by an historian, not a theologian. These

UNSTOPPABLE FORCE AND IMMOVABLE OBJECT: THE GREAT SCHISM OF 1054 by Ryan Howard The year was AD 4 76. Barbarian hordes had ransacked the countryside and cities of the Roman Empire for a century, and Goths had lived alongside Romans in their empire for more than a century before that. On September 4th, the barbarian chieftain Odoacer deposed the last emperor in the western part of the empire, Romulus Augustulus. The Roman rule of the western half of the empire had come to an end. For years, historians declared 4 76 a s the year in which the Roman Empire fell. In recent decades, however, historians have recognized that 4 76 and its events were largely symbolic and symptomatic of a decline in the western half of the empire that was happening long before Odoacer seized power.

There is, however, limited research examining religious disaffiliation on health outcomes – that is, how the process of religious disaffiliation or exiting contributes to mental well-being. These trends and gap in the literature make it timely and it is important to consider the impact of leaving religion on the well-being of individuals experiencing this life transition.

  • Roots of Modern Faith: Fundamentalism, Fideism and the Legacy of Erasmus
    Roots of Modern Faith: Fundamentalism, Fideism and the Legacy of Erasmus James Mark Shields ©1993 (revised 2007) ABSTRACT This paper explores two contrasting “styles” or vocabularies of transcendence: fundamentalism and fideism. After a brief analysis of the main features of fundamentalism generally and within contemporary Christian contexts, the roots of the fundamentalist vocabulary in modern European thought are explored, leading to discussion of a deep conflict rooted in competing vocabularies of the Reformation era—epitomized by the figures of Erasmus Desiderius (1469-1536) and Martin Luther (1483-1546). At the heart of this issue lies the question of whether the very notion of transcendence can be reconciled with the pluralist demands of secular liberalism and the “post-modern” paradigm more generally. In the early 1990s a five-year program sponsored by the Fundamentalism has characteristics that have been American Academy of Arts and Sciences at the University of around for at least as long as religion itself, but the term is Chicago called the Fundamentalism Project began to publish generally used to imply the peculiar combination of traditional its findings in several weighty tomes, and numerous other concepts with certain modern ideas, and modern techniques in works of comparative fundamentalisms have since appeared particular, that makes this a distinctively modern, in some on the shelves of bookstores and libraries across the Western respects even post-modern phenomenon.

  • East Vs West
    East vs West - Great Schism, Roman Catholic Church, Excommunication, Eastern Orthodox Church East vs West Great Schism, Roman Catholic Church, Excommunication, Eastern Orthodox Church Ancient Rome Unit This article is brought to you by the year 1054 C.E.! Think what would happen if your school separated into two parts. It happens over a very long time. The kids on the east side like studying math and science while the kids on the west side like history and English. The kids in the east like to eat brown foods while the kids in the west like green foods. The two halves drift further and further apart until the students on the west side cannot even understand the kids on the east . and they don't even want to try to understand them. This sounds like something young kids would do: fight over small things and grow farther and farther apart because of it. But how could this sort of thing happen to a whole empire? Let's watch the slow but big divide between the east and west of Rome. The church was a very big part of Roman life, before and after Rome fell. It was also the thing that ended up separating east and west for good. In the west, people went to church every week. As babies, they were carried there. As grown ups, they were married there. And when they died, they were buried there. The Roman Catholic Church is and was the major religion in Rome. At one point, before your school broke in half, it had only one principal.
