Description

When it comes to the history of controversies between the Byzantine and Latin Churches, perhaps no question is as central or as persistent as that pertaining to the celebration of the Eucharistic ritual. Whether concerning the matter of the sacrament (leavened vs. unleavened bread) or the form (the way in which the Eucharist is celebrated, Epiclesis vs. Words of Institution), Eucharistic controversies were particularly divisive, and were virulently and widely contested.
