SUMMARY
During the Palaiologan period there was a renewed significance of religious and ecclesiastical debates, which had faded somewhat in the previous periods of Byzantine history, after the end of the Iconoclastic dispute. These religious and ecclesiastical controversies became major political issues and extended to political correlations and conflicts. The three most significant of them, in the order of appearance, are: the Arsenite schism, the issue of the Union with the Roman Catholic Church and the issue of Hesychasm. |
