Another problem with the video is that it shows the areas controlled by the Germanic kingdoms during the late Roman Empire and Dark Ages as totally Arian (1:58). The Roman populations under the Germanic rule were Nicene. So the areas shown as Arian really should be striped and not totally colored as Arian. Plus, not everyone in Mauritania and Africa were Donatist. These areas should also be striped and not colored solidly Donatist (1:58). Plus there should be some reference to Gnostic Christianity which was very strong in Egypt during the late Roman period and the Dark Ages. The Cathars should also be mentioned. They were very strong in southern France during the early Crusade period (4:30). They also were fairly strong in the Rhineland.

The “Celtic Church “ thing is completely wrong IMO. Ireland and Scotland didn’t have a church called like that , they were Catholics under the authority of the Pope like the rest of Western European nations. Some historians use the term “Celtic Christianity “ because they had some particular traditions and customs not seen in other regions of Europe , but they were still Catholics in communion with the Holy See.

[@ginochristiano1397]

I agree, but I believe what the video is referring to "churches" before the 1000s are a mix of communions, creeds and traditions or rites. Examples of the creed-based categories are Nicene Christianity, Monophysite, Arianism. Armenian Apostolic also had a different creed. Rites include Latin, Greek, Celtic. Later on do we only see the relevance of communions, wherein we see the different rites becoming "stricter" in delineating what constitutes their Church.

[@javier6926]

Jino DMC that’s a good observation. The “Celts” were not alone however in having some differences with other Latin Christians. In Spain you had the Mozarabic rite , in northern Italy the Ambrosian rite , etc. This is indeed a complex and fascinating subject.

As a matter of fact, Greek Orthodox is the majority Church for Christians in the Levant, not the native Syrian Church. It’s locally called “Rum Orthodox” (i.e; Roman Orthodox), also called “Byzantine Church”… most of its adherents are native converts from Syriac Communities (during the Byzantine period), as well as some descendants from Christian Arab tribes like the Ghassanids. Another term used for its adherents is “Orthodox Melkites”, which referred to the natives as Aramaic-speaking loyalists to the Byzantine King.

Karen ‘Tehcir Law’ happened (meaning “Deportation” in Ottoman Turkish). Which allowed muslim Turks and Kurds to deport all Armenians who inhabited Anatolia to the Middle East and surrounding areas, in response to the countless of Armenian revolts started in late 19th century which killed hundreds of thousands of civilians (most of them being muslim Kurds). During the Caucasus campaign alone for example, over 150.000 Turks and other Muslims were massacred by Armenian volunteer units. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tehcir_Law en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasus_campaign According to the Ottoman census of 1914 (with help of France), roughly 1.1 million Armenians lived in Anatolia. 99% of them were forcibly deported, many died on the way and others got rounded up and executed by Ottoman officials. Many of them got charged for their crimes but others got away with it by fleeing to other countries. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Ottoman_Empire#/media/File%3AProportions_des_populations_en_Asie_Mineure_statistique_officielle_d1914.png Turkey says that 600.000 Armenians were killed directly (by executions) or indirectly (dying of thirst during deportation) and roughly half a million made it out alive, outside of Ottoman territory. That’s why today, there are alot of Armenians living at the Syrian/Turkish border. Turkey sees these events as an “ethnic cleansing by forced deportation” and not by genocide. But the main reason why Turkey denies it, is because they don’t want to accept the biased view of these events and rather wants all historical facts to be put on table. Each story has 2 sides. Turks and Kurds killed hundreds of thousands of Armenians. That’s true (even Turkey acknowledges it) but Armenians were not angels as they portray themselves and have been responsible for hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties as well. Since 2002, Turkey expressed multiple times that Turkey would acknowledge the mass killings of up to 1.5 million Armenians during World War I as genocide ONLY after a thorough investigation by a joint Turkish-Armenian commission consisting of historians, archaeologists, political scientists and other experts. In order to have a least biased/Pro-Armenian view of the events. archive.ph/20120530032729/www.cfr.org/publication/14395/conversation_with_recep_tayyip_erdogan_rush_transcript_federal_news_service.htm

Good job with the map, anyways I want to point out Latvia. First of all during the reformation the relligious freedom was declared allready in 1525 a victory for Lutherans, the same year Prussia became a secular country. Plus the center of Lutherism in Livonia was Riga not Tallinn. Second of all and most importantly Courland was a Lutheran stronghold ever since reformation with a Catholic minority living there. Latgale on the other hand, after it was incorporated in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth has been a Catholic stronghold. Still being the worlds northernmost Catholic region. Still there's a considerable Orthodox and even more interestingly Old believers minority. In Vidzeme since it's incorporation into Sweden in 1629, we can't even talk about an Catholic minority, Cathols and everyone else not Orthodox Lutheran were banished from Vidzeme.

Great video! I understand it is difficult to include that, but the christianity of Romanians coincides with their ethnogenesis. The Romanians appeared as a Christian people from their beginnings (late antiquity) as proven by the basic church vocabulary inherited from Latin which sometimes is slightly different from Western Romance. Because christianity is an organized religion with a church, bishops, priests it might have had a very important contribution (besides language) to the cohesion of the Proto-Romanians and to the formation of a (proto-)Romanian identity as opposed to the Slavs around who became Christian (much) later. Even if Romanians during the Middle Ages adopted the Orthodox rite through Old Church Slavonic, this language was not at all understood by the people so the Bible and other books were translated into Romanian (16 century). While the Romanian language adopted some specific terms related to the Orthodox rite from Old Church Slavonic and Greek, the basic Latin church vocabulary remained intact.

I dont't remember for sure if I have commented this already, but the border between the orthodox church and the catholic church (or later on the lutheran church) has been the same as the current eastern border of Finland only after 1945, not from 1272 or so. The treaty of Nöteborg the Treaty of Teusina and the treaty of Stolbovo and Paris Peace Treaties in 1947 have affected the situation - but still the borders of these treaties are not always the same as the border between the chatholic or laer on lutheran and the orthodox churches. And Finally, why is the northernmost Europe missing?

Crazy distinction at 3:06 greek and roman? Wasn’t it all The Church? And the Eastern Orthodox withstood up until this day bearing that same name - Orthodox?

Finally someone who knows history,and knows what bosnian church is. I am sick of people telling bosnians that they were chatolic or orthodox before ottomans.

[@nedimsisic2370]

@George Nathanael They still are a minority compared to the majority of the Bosnian Church before the Ottomans.(although the later kings and high ranking people were catholic due to pressure from the Vatican and also the crusade in 1235 and constant persecution of Bosnian Church members(similar and influenced by bogomils from Bulgaria) as they were considered heretics) So, indeed, most Bosniaks(in Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro; the Kingdom of Bosnia encompassed also Dalmatia and western parts of Serbia and Montenegro along the modern border before the Ottomans came; a good part of Sandžak was, turkish croatia is in Bosnia and is called Bosanska Krajina, although mentioned in some old documents as such) are descendants of those same persecuted Bosnian Church members. In addition, during the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans and Hungary in late 15th to 17th centuries, many Bosniaks moved to those newly conquered lands to be landlords initially by the order of the sultan, because of lack of native converts to Islam and the speed of the conquest to have the land secured. So Bosniaks actually moved outwards in that period, no doubt a lot of Croats and Hungarians have Bosnian roots due to that. Need I say how many Croats are Croatianized Italians, Hungarians, Czechs, etc.(from the Habsburg period and before) or how many Serbs are Serbianized Bulgarians(along the border), Vlachs, Bosniaks(due to persecution in 19th and 20th centuries), whose asimilation was even easier and more likely due to having the same religion and sect or by having the process being forced under threat of death and ethnic cleansing(in case of Bosniaks)?

All of the area of what is now the Netherlands was Christianized by the 620s? Then how come the missionary St. Boniface was killed by pagan West-Frisians in 754? I think you removed the shading too soon.
