Question

True or False: The Byzantines did not agree that the emperor was the 1 true ruler, so it broke away/split from the Roman Catholic Church

Answer 1

False. The Byzantines did acknowledge the emperor as the supreme ruler, and the Byzantine Empire continued to recognize the authority of the Eastern Orthodox Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. It was the Great Schism of 1054 that marked the split between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, leading to their doctrinal and administrative differences.
