Excerpt from A Manual of the History of Dogmas, Vol. 2: The Development of Dogmas During the Middle Ages and After, 869-1907

In the study of doctrinal development during the Middle Ages, and also in modern times, no account need be taken of the Eastern Church. For after the schism caused by Michael Cerularius, patriarch of Constantinople (1053 the East contributed nothing to the development of doctrine. Cut off by its own suicidal act from the source of ecclesiastical life, it became absolutely sterile. Its theology is to - day where it was left by John Damascene in the eighth century, except that along some lines it has actually fallen into error. Hence, while investigating this second period of dog matic development, the student can give his undivided atten tion to the theology of the West.
