  • Christianity is byzantine culture
  • Great laws must be followed like justinian's code.
  • Byzantines practiced Christianity in a different way than western Europeans did. They were considered two different branches of Christianity. These two branches began to pull apart over time. Byzantines thought that the Pope shouldn't have the authority to banish the Emperor, leading to the Great Schism
  • I can't believe how different the two branches of Christianity are
