During the brief period of rapproachement between the [[Eastern Roman Empire]] and the [[Pope]], in the course of the [[First Crusade]] the '''Council of Bari''' was called by [[Urban II]] in 1098 in a stated attempt to deal with the [[East–West Schism|Great Schism]] between the [[Catholic Church|Western Catholic]] and [[Eastern Orthodox Church]] and to resolve the [[filioque]] dogmatic dispute that was one of the main contributors to the schism. The council was presided by the Pope and was attended by more than one hundred and eighty Catholic bishops,<ref>http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15210a.htm Catholic Encyclopedia</ref> including a noticeable theologian [[Anselm of Canterbury]],<ref>Gasper, p. 174</ref> the founder of [[scholasticism]] who delivered the main speech defending the Latin doctrine of the Procession of the Holy Spirit. The council also dealt with local church issues and supported [[Anselm of Canterbury|Anselm]] in his dispute with the king [[William II of England|King William II]] of [[Kingdom of England|England]].<ref>Matthew, p. 279</ref>
 
On the other hand, no high profile Orthodox theologians of the time, opposing the amendment of [[Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed]] by the Pope, such as contemporary [[Theophylact of Ohrid]] had participated in the council, even though the sources suggest the presence of a few [[Greeks|Greek]] bishops and monks from the Southern Italy. It is also not clear how much discussions actually took place, if any,<ref>Gasper, p. 180</ref> and most likely the real goal of the event was simply to provide additional legitimation to the position of the Pope in the dispute with the Eastern Churches.
