In its broadest sense, Latinization may include language, music, decorative arts, architecture, and even world view. In theology, it may simply refer to an emphasis on the writings of the Latin [[Church Fathers|Fathers of the Church]]. Many of the Latin Fathers who wrote before the [[Great Schism]] are considered technically Orthodox. Alternatively, post-Schism Roman Catholic theology, [[saint]]s, and teachings, in the sense that they may influence Orthodox Christians, are also considered Latinizations. Often the term is used pejoratively to describe changes imposed by Rome upon the so-called [[Eastern Rite Catholic]] churches. In these instances, when formerly Orthodox jurisdictions came under the authority of Rome, they were required to accept certain [[canon law|canonical]] and theological changes. Possibly the most notable of these are the requirement of a [[celibacy|celibate]] [[priest]]hood and the insertion of the [[Filioque]] clause into the [[Nicene Creed]],{{Citation}} despite the Councils of [[Council of Lyons|Lyons]] and [[Council of Florence|Florence]] requiring only assent to [[double procession]], not inclusion of the Filioque<ref>Maas, A.
