In episode 21 of Church History, Pastor Lance details the struggle between Rome and Constantinople as the center for Christendom, as well as the two main factors which shaped the church during the 3rd and 4th centuries: the influence of various Councils and the creation of the office of Archbishop. He then charts the origins of papal supremacy by examining the rise of Leo the Great, his relationship to Emperor Valentinian III; his fight against the Huns, Gauls, and Vandals; and his offensive against Eutychianism and the Manichaeist, Priscillianist, and Pelagian heresies. While our Catholic brothers & sisters may feel nonplussed with some of the ideas & evidence examined in this episode (just as our Protestant friends may feel we have not dealt with some issues harshly enough), we assure our viewers that there is no prejudice or favoritism here: that Protestantism as well will see its fair share of critique, and that our main focus is the accurate and unbiased assessment of Church History, with an eye towards keeping the Gospel front and center throughout. ???? ??? ???? ???????? ?? ???? ?????? ?? ?????? ????????
