[[/quote]Quote:quote=zmjezhd]There is a sharp divide between Orthodox (eastern) and Catholic (western) churches.
I've been reading a book The Councils of the Church: A Short History by Norman Tanner. It is interesting that each ecumenical council (link) was convened to deal with an issue of orthodoxy, and that after the decision was made a schism occurred. For example, the Fourth Council of Constantinople which led to the Roman Catholic/Orthodox schism and the Council of Trent which led to the Roman Catholic/Protestant divide.
And does that book mention what matter of Orthodoxy or Schism the Second Vatican
Ecumenical Council was dealing with? I'd be interested.
