The Schism of 1056


Back in November, the 8th Grade was learning about the Schism of 1056, when the Eastern Orthodox and Western Catholic churches split due to political and theological differences. Here we have Kevin, Connor, and Grant acting as representatives of the West (the facial hair is due to the fact that the Eastern Christians thought that the Westerns were barbarians. . .and barbarians have beards. Get it?!). Would only that the 11th Century Orthodox Christians heard such moving testimony for the beliefs of the Catholic faith. Perhaps the world would be a better place. . .maybe. . .probably not.
