| | A Latin patriarch was appointed to rule over Constantinople and the Greek church was placed under the authority of the Pope. | | | The crusades were a series of wars launched by the church from the 11th to the 13th centuries with the purpose of recovering the holy lands that had fallen under the control of the advancing Muslim armies. | | | Historians identify three incidents which mark the separation between the two churches: the Photian schism (863-7), the mutual anathematizing of the two churches in 1054, and the sack of Constantinople in 1204 during the fourth crusade. |

| | Patriarch of Constantinople Preaches Environmentalism |
| | Patriarch Bartholomew, who is 59, is not the pioneer of modern church environmentalism. | | | The patriarch's drive to embrace environmentalism, according to some of his aides, is part of his broader agenda to modernize his church and make it more relevant to people's lives. | | | Orthodoxy consists of 15 independent national churches and the ecumenical patriarch does not have the same ecclesiastical powers to impose his views that Pope John Paul II has among the Roman Catholics. |

| | The patriarch of Constantinople was recognized as the spiritual head of the Orthodox Churches, but he did not have any juridic authority over them, except those of his own patriarchate. | | | Each patriarch governed a territory of the Church: The patriarch of Rome governed the whole Church in the West; the patriarch of Alexandria, the area of Egypt and Palestine; and the Patriarch of Antioch, Syria, Asia Minor, Greece and the remainder of the Church in the East. | | | In the mind of the patriarch, since Rome had declined in stature and since Constantinople was now the viable capital of the Roman Empire (or what was left of it), he thought he should be recognized as the head of the Church — in a sense, "New Rome" should be the home of the pope. |
