Despite the <a href="/wiki/Photian_Schism" class="mw-redirect" title="Photian Schism">Photian Schism</a>, the churches of Rome and Constantinople still preserved some semblance of unity, and <a href="/wiki/Pope_Nicholas_I" title="Pope Nicholas I">Pope Nicholas I</a> did not want to see the formation of a large independent Frankish church in Central Europe. When an appeal of the ecclesiastical issue was made to Rome, Nicholas summoned both Cyril and Methodius and the complaining Frankish parties to his court to hear them out. Nicholas died before their arrival, but the new Pope <a href="/wiki/Adrian_II" class="mw-redirect" title="Adrian II">Adrian II</a> reached a compromise after hearing both sides: Old Church Slavonic was confirmed as a liturgical language alongside Greek, Hebrew and Latin, and Methodius was confirmed as bishop with a Frankish co-adjutor, <a href="/wiki/Wiching" title="Wiching">Wiching</a>. Adrian was convinced by Cyril's impassioned defence of the Slavic liturgy in which he cited <a href="/wiki/1_Corinthians" class="mw-redirect" title="1 Corinthians">1 Corinthians</a> 14:19 "Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue."
