Latinization and the Church of the East (1450-1800)

This chapter focuses on the historical contact between the Church of the East and Rome, specifically from the years 1450 to 1800. It delves into the imposition of customs and liturgical practices by the Church of Rome on Eastern churches, as well as the impacts of the Reformation and the Council of Trent on the relationship between Rome and the Eastern churches. It also explores the decline of Christianity in Central Asia due to Mongol and Turkic invasions, and the restored communication between the Catholic Church and the Assyrian Church of the East in recent years.
