The Fourth Crusade in 1204 AD resulted in the sack of the Eastern Orthodox City of Constantinople by the Roman Catholic crusaders. This increased tensions and caused enormous damage in relations between East and West and solidified the split that happened 150 years earlier in 1054 AD (the Eastern Schism).
The Eastern (Orthodox) and Western (Catholic) churches are the two main branches of Christianity. The Eastern Church is composed of national churches that are in communion with the Patriarch of Constantinople, while the Western Church is under the jurisdiction of the Pope in Rome. The two churches have different theological traditions and practices. The main differences between the Eastern (Orthodox) and Western (Catholic) churches are: -The Eastern Church uses the Byzantine Rite while the Western Church uses the Latin Rite. -The Eastern Church is organized into Patriarchates while the Western Church is organized into Dioceses. -The Eastern Church teaches that the Bishop of Rome is the first among equals while the Western Church teaches that the Bishop of Rome is the supreme Pontiff. -The Eastern Church is composed of national churches while the Western Church is composed of local churches 678217.
