The East-West Schism - APEX
The Catholic Church was split in 1054 in the East-West Schism, into the Roman Catholic Church, in the West, and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The reason for this split was a disagreement over what authority the pope had in eastern dioceses. Put simply, the Western Church held the pope was a ruling authority, but the Eastern Church would only accept the pope as a symbolic authority. You should remember that there were other Churches aside from the Catholic Church at the time, including the Oriental Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, and others, so the entire Christian Church was not involved. There is a link below that you can use for more information. The most important dispute that split the Church was over the supremacy of the Pope, versus the independence of the bishops, particularly of the East. This produced the East-West Schism of 1054, which divided the largest body of the Church into the Roman Catholic Church, in the West, and the Eastern Orthodox Church, in the East. There is a link below.

There was no such thing as east and west of Byzantine. The Byzantine Empire was not divided into east and west. Its official religion was Orthodox Christianity, which is sometimes also called Eastern Orthodox to distinguish it from the Oriental Orthodox Churches. The latter is an umbrella term for a number of Churches which hare separate from the mainstream Orthodox Churches found among the Egyptians, the Syrians and the Armenians (the Coptic Church, the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, the Syriac Orthodox Church, and the Armenian Apostolic Church).
