Council of Florence
null
Book •
The Council of Florence, held in the 15th century, was a pivotal ecumenical council aimed at reuniting the Eastern and Western Christian churches.
Key discussions centered on theological differences, particularly the filioque clause, papal primacy, and the use of leavened or unleavened bread in the Eucharist.
Political factors, including the Byzantine Empire's need for Western support against the Ottoman Turks, influenced negotiations.
Despite initial agreements, the union achieved at Florence was short-lived due to resistance from clergy and laity in the East.
The council remains a significant event in the history of Christian divisions and attempts at reconciliation.
Its records and documents provide valuable insights into the theological and political dynamics of the time.
