Resumo
O artigo revela a história da polêmica entre a Igreja do Oriente e a Igreja do Ocidente a respeito da prática litúrgica do uso de pão sem fermento («ázimos») no sacramento da Eucaristia. Para explicar a opinião de que a Igreja Católica permite o uso de pão fermentado pelos cristãos ortodoxos devido ao seu significado simbólico, foi feito um breve excursus histórico sobre a controvérsia dos pães ázimos. Essa disputa teve início na época do Patriarca Miguel Cerulário e precedeu o surgimento do «Grande Cisma». Cada uma das partes defendeu por muitos séculos a justeza exclusiva de sua tradição litúrgica. A publicação trata do conteúdo das primeiras obras polêmicas dos gregos contra os latinos e das respostas destes. Em particular, são revelados os detalhes da controvérsia e a fundamentação bíblica da prática eucarística segundo Leão Acridano («De azymis et sabbatis»), Nicetas Pectoratus («Libellus contra latinos») e o Cardeal da Igreja Romana Humberto («Adversus Graecorum calumnias», «Responsio sive contradictio in eumdem libellum»).
