Results of the Crusades:
1. No permanent conquests of the Holy Lands.

3. Hastening of the disintegration of the Eastern Empire.
4. Hardening of schism between Eastern and Western
Christianity.
5. Greater enmity between Christianity and Islam.
6. Growth of the authority of the medieval papacy.
The Eastern Perspective:
1. Crowning of an independent emperor (Charlemagne) by the
pope broke unity between East and West.
2. To have unilaterally changed the Nicene Creed was an insult
to the Ecumenical Councils and to the Holy Spirit.
3. Western use of unleavened bread in Divine Liturgy was an
insult to the Holy Spirit, as leavening symbolized His presence.
4. The sacking of Constantinople (4th Crusade) was
reprehensible.
