focuses on the history of the Church from the days of
Charlemagne to the dawn of the Reformation. It was during
this period, which historians call the Middle Ages, that the
Church divided in two, forming an "Eastern Church" and a
"Western Church". Part two includes the increasing power
of the Papacy, the politics of mixing with the State, the rise
of monasticism, the Crusades, heresies, the Inquisition, and
attempts at reform.
