An event that took place in the 4/5th century in Rome. Some Christians bent to the will of Diocletian during the great persecution and the Donatists didn't think that those people's faith was valid any longer. There was controversy over who should be bishop of Carthage. So they sent representatives to Rome to argue their case but Constantine ruled that they were wrong. They still wouldn't give up so Constantine persecuted them, but that just made them martyrs.

How was the issue of slavery decided in the western states?
The expansion of the United States westward into newly acquired Mexican territories and other western territories caused a lot of controversy. The Mason-Dixon line was still the rule, but the controversy was when California, due to its climate where cotton and tobacco were unable to grow, entered the union as a free state, as slavery was unnecessary. The controversy was attempted to be put to rest by California agreeing to always having a pro-Slavery senator as to not have an anti-Slavery majority in the Senate. See the related link.

When does lent start and end in the middle ages?
Lent started on Ash Wednesday and ended on Easter, a period of forty days. The calculation of when Ash Wednesday happened was based on the calculation of Easter. The calculation of Easter was a matter of some controversy in the Middle Ages, as it remains now, though to a lesser extent, but Easter has always been a Sunday in early Spring.
What was the struggle between Henry the IV and Gregory VII was known as?
The politico-religious struggle between Gregory VII and Henry IV is known as the Investiture Contest (or sometimes the Investiture Controversy) but was not limited solely to Henry and Gregory - other Popes/ecclesiastical figures and aristocrats were involved - nor was it even limited to their lifetimes. The Investiture Contest was an 11th-12th century development, and part of what is now often referred to as the Gregorian Reforms. Hope that helps!
When did the twenty first century start?
The controversy is whether January 1, 2000 or January 1, 2001, should be deemed the first day of the 21st century. The 21st century began Jan 1, 2001. I know some think differently, including the happy merchants of Caroline Island of the nation of Kiribati, but the fact is that a century contains 100 years and not 99. There was no year designated as year zero. Zero is a point on our time line, although it could have been arranged differently with no ill effects. So, the end of the first hundred years happened at the end of the year 100, and not at the end of year 99. cant believe no one thinks its the 20th century now we know why the us is at the bottom of education 21st means 2100 right not 2001
