I love connecting history to today. Pope Leo XIV traveled to Nicaea this week to celebrate the anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. While there, he reminded his audience to beware of a new Arianism in today‘s society that rejects the divinity of Christ. #nicaea #councilofnicaea #jesuschrist #arianism #catholicism #churchhistory #popeleoxiv #worldhistory
New word alert- Homooussios is used to describe Jesus and God as one. Constantine the Great inserted this word into Christian doctrine at the Council of Nicaea to counter Aries of Alexandria who told followers Jesus is not God. #ashorthistoryofbyzantium #johnjuliusnorwich #councilofnicaea #constantinethegreat #byzantineempire #homoousios #arianism #christianity #churchhistory #worldhistory #europeanhistory #history
