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.
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.
It brought an end to the Investiture Controversy and recognized the right of the Church to appoint its own bishops. It was an important step toward the idea of separation of Church and State, and was an blow to the belief in the divine right of kings.
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.
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!
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
Yes, it was a controversy between the Donatist sect in Tunisia and the Bishop of Rome in the early 4th century B.C. The Roman emperor Constantine the Great unsuccessfully tried to mediate it.
The Great Persecution
The Christians who succumbed to the will of the state during the great persecution under diocletian
Saint Augustine faced inner struggles with faith and moral dilemmas, particularly during his youth. He also faced external challenges from the Donatist controversy and the sack of Rome by the Visigoths. Additionally, Augustine grappled with the complexity of reconciling his previous beliefs with his newfound Christian faith.
