Christendom information

Christendom^[2]^[3] refers to Christian states, Christian-majority countries or countries in which Christianity is dominant^[4] or prevails.^[2]

Following the spread of Christianity from the Levant to Europe and North Africa during the early Roman Empire, Christendom has been divided in the pre-existing Greek East and Latin West. Consequently, internal sects within the Christian religion arose with their own beliefs and practices, centred around the cities of Rome (Western Christianity, whose community was called Western or Latin Christendom^[5]) and Constantinople (Eastern Christianity, whose community was called Eastern Christendom^[6]). From the 11th to the 13th centuries, Latin Christendom rose to the central role of the Western world.^[7] The history of the Christian world spans about 2,000 years and includes a variety of socio-political developments, as well as advancements in the arts, architecture, literature, science, philosophy, politics and technology.^[8]^[9]^[10]
