How did Luther's 'Babylonian Captivity of the Church' and the Great Schism affect the Christian Church?

The Crusaders became the military arm of the Church, and used force to restore Christianity. The Papacy suffered badly over the Crusades, as did all Christendom.The Babylonian Captivity was the moving of the Papacy to Avignon in France from 1305 - 1378. This split the Church and divided the leadership as there were two Popes at the same time. The illegitimate or unrecognised Pope is called an Antipope. This lead to schism.The Great Schism (sometimes called the Western Schism related to the Popes in Avignon and the Popes in Rome. By its end, three men simultaneously claimed to be the true pope. Driven by politics rather than any real theological disagreement, the schism was ended by the Council of Constance (1414-1418). The simultaneous claims to the papal chair of three different men hurt the reputation of the office.


What were the results of the schism from the Roman Catholic Church?

Roman Catholic AnswerThere were two "schisms" that are commonly referred to when speaking of the church. The Western Schism or Great Schism was not a true schism but refers to the time in the late 14 century when the Pope moved to Avignon and another pseudo-Pope was elected in Rome; at one time, before the end of this disaster there were three "popes". The Schism of the East, which was a true schism, resulted in the Orthodox Church separating from the Catholic Church in 1054. This schism has been an off again, on again thing through the centuries and is a great heartbreak for the Church.


What event made the Great Schism forever permanent was the?

Roman Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic Church, the Great Schism usually refers to the two, sometimes, three popes and anti-popes who were all claiming to rule the Catholic Church at the same time during the 14th century. That sad event which ran for decades ended with only one Holy Father in Rome, so it was hardly forever permanent. Many secular scholars tend to refer to the Eastern Schism as the Great Schism, even though this is not technically correct. Nevertheless, the Eastern Schism, in the eleventh century, when the Orthodox Church split from the Catholic Church is not permanent, there has already been at least one reconciliation, although it did not last a hundred years, and I am sure that it will be healed permanently in the future, the Holy Father, and the patriarchs are in talks now, so it is not permanent either.


What lasted from 1378 to 1417 and resulted in a decline of Church power?

The Western Schism, also known as the Papal Schism, lasted from 1378 to 1417. It was a split within the Roman Catholic Church, where there were two or even three rival popes claiming authority. The Schism resulted in a decline of Church power as it weakened the credibility and unity of the Church, creating divisions among the faithful.
