Which church stopped venerating Clement in the 10th century?

  • Eastern Orthodox Church

  • Roman Catholic Church

  • Anglican Church

  • Lutheran Church

Answer

The Eastern Orthodox Church ceased venerating Clement in the 10th century due to a shift in theological perspectives. Clement, a prominent early Christian figure, was initially revered by both Eastern and Western churches. However, as the Eastern Orthodox Church evolved its understanding of sainthood and the nature of veneration, it discontinued the practice of venerating Clement, considering it incompatible with its revised theological framework.
