east-west schism
The east-west schism refers to the split between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, which occurred in 1054. This division marked the separation of the Christian Church into two major branches, with differences in theology, doctrine, and authority, leading to the establishment of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church as distinct entities.
