Rosary: invented by Dominic Guzman in 1208 in response to alleged vision

Extremely interesting facts !
A big help !

What was the reason given for the removal of the rood screens ?

And for the changing of the direction of the sign of the cross ?

What is azymes, though ?

[Barbara]

Oh ! Thank you. Shows how this same progression has been going on 1000 years, not just since Vatican II.

So there was unleavened bread for Communion previously ? I didn't realize that.
Thanks !

No, Western Orthodox used leavened bread for the most part, but a few places in the West started following the Armenian heretics and using unleavened bread. By the time of the schism, leavened bread in the West was still a majority use but Popes had begun to mandate unleavened bread.

Thank you, Father Joseph.

Was there a particular reason why unleavened bread was starting to be officially mandated besides the contact with Armenians ?
Broader contacts with the Greek Orthodox, perhaps ?
