Summary:

In Beards, Azymes, and Purgatory A. Edward Siecienski argues that seemingly minor issues--the beardlessness of the Latin clergy, the Western use of unleavened bread in the Eucharist, and the doctrine of Purgatory--played a significant role in the schism between the Catholic and Orthodox churches.
