Fantastic breakdown of Aquinas on transubstatiation. Substance and accidents.

The Byzantine empire falls to the Turks. Moscow and Russia become the 3rd Rome, the center of Eastern Orthodox.
Interesting to read of the East’s (ortho) hatred of the west (papacy), and perhaps how that plays into the geopolitical issues today even.

The crusades. Needham couches the context of the crusades in strictly religious reasons - which certainly is true, but I think ignores the greater context of Muslim religious invasion, attacks, aggression, rapine, barbarous treatment of Christians in the first place. The crusades were fundamentally a military response to the prior Muslim invasions.

Hildibrand’s reforms. Transubstantiation normalized in the 11th century, and cemented by Aquinas in the 13th.
