	State-Run Schools: The New Caesaropapism by Lawrence M. Ludlow
		After two and a half years of the so-called war on terror, it is disturbingly clear that the attacks of 9/11 were the result of an immoral U.S. foreign policy and that the government’s inability to prevent the attacks represents a massive and inexcusable failure.

	Caesaropapism
		Emperors presided over councils, and their will was decisive in the appointment of patriarchs and in determining the territorial limits of their jurisdiction.
		Caesaropapism was more a reality in Russia, where the abuses of Ivan IV the Terrible went practically unopposed and where Peter the Great finally transformed the church into a department of the state (1721), although neither claimed to possess special doctrinal authority.

	Eunomia: Eastern Orthodoxy and Westerners
		Caesaropapism has never existed in the Orthodox world (I would also argue that it has never existed anywhere, but that is not my main concern).
		Caesaropapism, if it means anything, means that the emperor or secular power rules the Church.
		To judge Orthodoxy's tendency for caesaropapism by this episode in the history of the Russian church would be to judge the Papacy by the Babylonian Captivity (where we see something like the French secular ruler dictating the policy of the Avignon Papacy)--clearly, not a fair assessment by any means.

	A Note for Evangelicals Considering Rome
		The fact is, the only place in the Orthodox world where caesaropapism was ever close to being an accepted reality was in Russia, subsequent to the reforms of Peter the Great.
		Innumerable heroes of the faith were constantly exalted precisely because they had opposed heretical emperors; hymns sung in church praised Basil for having disobeyed Valens, Maximus for his martyrdom under Constans, and numerous monks for having opposed the iconoclastic emperors in the eighth century.
		It was with this in mind that the popes encouraged the personal conversion of the Emperor John V in 1369.

	LIBERIUS
		The bishops cry out that to do so would be against the canon of the Church.
		Emperor Constantius, a bandy-legged fellow, roars: "My will is the canon." Five words which clearly and brutally define caesaropapism: The Emperor's will is the rule of the Church.
		From now on the popes will be troubled again and again by imperial interference, and of this Pope Liberius is an outstanding example.

		He was less successful in fighting the Persians and was unable to prevent the raids of the Slavs and the Bulgars.
		Justinian’s policy of caesaropapism (i.e., the supremacy of the emperor over the church) included not only matters of organization, but also matters of dogma.
		In 553, seeking to reconcile the Monophysites to the church, he called a council (see Constantinople, Second Council of) but accomplished nothing and finally tended to drift into heresy himself.

	The Romanovs - phatmass phorum (Site not responding. Last check: )
		By putting the State above the Church, the Tsar was able to overrule the judgings of the Orthodox synod, impose his rulings on the Orthodox Church, etc. Basically, he was in charge of the Orthodox Church, and it shouldn't have been that way.
		Martyrs would be the only likely solution, but the whole of the Orthodox Church does not recognize the Romanovs as martyrs; and I don't see how their being declared official, venerated martyrs would work in the Catholic Church, either.
		Indirectly, it can be said they were martyred, but only on the false premise of caesaropapism, that the Tsar was the head of the Orthodox Church.

		All five Patriarchs of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church agreed that the Patriarch of Rome should receive higher honors than the other four; they disagreed about whether he had authority over the other four.
		- the concept of Caesaropapism, a tying together in some way of the ultimate political and religious authorities, which were physically separated much earlier when the capital of the empire was moved from Rome to Constantinople.
		There is controversy over just how much this so-called "caesaropapism" actually existed and how much was a fanciful invention, centuries later, by western European historians.

	What Was the Iconoclast Controversy About? - Nick Trakakis - Theandros - Online Journal of Orthodox Christian Theology ...
		That the idea of caesaropapism (unlimited power of the emperor over the church) was attempted to be put into effect by at least some iconoclastic emperors is undeniable.
		It is this attempt to put caesaropapism into practice that provides the background to Leo III's comment to pope Gregory II (715-731), "I am King and priest as well,"
		It is clear, then, that the attempt to implement the idea of caesaropapism and the resistance that followed reflects a power struggle between iconophile church members and iconoclastic state officials.
