The Great Schism, otherwise know as the Schism of the West was not strictly a schism at all but a conflict between the two parties within the Church each claiming to support the true pope. Three months after the election of Urban VI, in 1378, the fifteen electing cardinals declared that they had appointed him only as a temporary vicar and that in any case the election was invalid as made under fear of violence from the Roman mob. Urban retorted by naming twenty-eight new cardinals, and the others at once proceeded to elect Cardinal Robert of Geneva as Pope Clement VII, who went to reside at Avignon. The quarrel was in its origin not a theological or religious one, but was caused by the ambition and jealousy of French influence, which was supported to some extent for political reasons by Spain, Naples, Provence, and Scotland; England, Germany, Scandinavia, Wales, Ireland, Portugal, Flanders and Hungary stood by what they believe to be the true pope at Rome. The Church was torn from top to bottom by the schism, both sides in good faith (it was impossible to know to whom allegiance was due), which lasted with its two lines of popes (and at one time three) till the election of Martin V in 1417. It is now regarded as practically certain that the Urbanist popes were the true ones and their names are included in semi-official lists; moreover, the ordinal numbers of the Clementine claimants (who, however, are not called anti-popes,) were adopted by subsequent popes of the same name.

What are 3 great examples of a schism?
The only two examples in the Catholic Church are the Great Schism in the fourteenth century when there were two claimants to the papacy, and at one time, three. And earlier in the eleventh century when the Schism of the East occurred and the Eastern Orthodox Church split from the authority of the Pope. Some might include the protestant revolt, but as these people left the Church and did not retain valid Orders or Sacraments (saving baptism in some cases), it is not properly a schism.

How did the Christian Church change after the Great Schism?
In 1054 AD the Christian Church was split into 2.Catholic AnswerYou are asking two different questions if you are asking about the Great Schism of 1054 as the Great Schism happened in the 14th century, the Schism in the 11th century is called the Schism of the East, so below are the two answers: .The Great Schism was not really a schism, it is often confused with the Schism of the East when the Orthodox Church split from Rome back in the eleventh century. In the fourteenth century, the pope moved to Avignon in France, an antipope was elected in Rome, and finally we ended up with three claimants to the papal throne. After the Great Schism was healed, the Holy Father returned to Rome and stayed there. I believe that the papacy lost some of its temporal prestige over the entire incident.from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957The Great Schism, otherwise know as the Schism of the West was not strictly a schism at all but a conflict between the two parties within the Church each claiming to support the true pope. Three months after the election of Urban VI, in 1378, the fifteen electing cardinals declared that they had appointed him only as a temporary vicar and that in any case the election was invalid as made under fear of violence from the Roman mob..Catholic AnswerThe result of the Eastern Schism was the establishment of the Orthodox Churches apart from Rome, or as the Holy Father said of it, "we are only breathing on one lung." When the Orthodox split from the Church, each of them split down the middle so that half stayed with Rome, and half started the Orthodox Church, thus there is a Greek Orthodox Church, and a Greek Uniate Rite within the Catholic Church, and so on for each of the rites and Churches.
What stared the great schism?
It was over the selling of indulgences. Basically you were allowed to pay money to the church in order to be absolved of sins. This goes against the teachings in the bible according to some people (Martin Luther, who protested this) and caused a schism in the Christian Faith (This is for protestants, for orthodox it is something completely different)

Whose fault was the Great Schism?
A:The Great Schism of 1054, referred to by the Catholic Church as the Schism of the East, resulted in a permanent split in the Christian Church. The Catholic Church teaches that Patriarch Michael I was at fault, while the Orthodox Churches say that Pope Leo IX was at fault. Regardless of so-called fault, there is no real evidence that the Schism did long term harm to Christianity. The two parts of Catholic-Orthodox Christianity always had different ideas of Christian worship and even celebrated Easter at different times of the year. So we should not look for "fault" in the Great Schism, when it may have been inevitable.The underlying issue really concerned the relative authority of two very obstinate men. Because the Council of Nicaea decided that Christianity in the Roman Empire would be led by four senior bishops or Metropolitans representing Rome, Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem, with provision for Constantinople and Carthage (where Metropolitans were subsequently appointed), the mainly Greek-speaking eastern regions held that the bishop of Rome was one among equals. However, the bishop of Rome, designated in the West as the Pope, insisted that he had greater authority than the other Metropolitans. Gradually, differences built up until, in 1054, Pope Leo IX insisted on the right to make a change to the Nicene Creed, on his own and apart from an Ecumenical Council. The Great Schism resulted when legates from Pope Leo IX and Patriarch Michael I excommunicated each other.When Pope Leo IX authorised his emissaries to excommunicate Patriarch Michael I, he believed that his action would at long last establish the bishop of Rome as the supreme leader of the Church. Michael was only unable to excommunicate Leo because the western pontiff had already died, but when he excommunicated the emissaries, he did not realise that the two actions would lead to the Great Schism. Because neither side would compromise, the Church was set on the path to a permanent schism, known as the Great Schism..AnswerHistorically, in the Catholic Church, the Great Schism refers to the 15th century when there were up to three claimants to the Papal Throne, also known as the Schism of the West. Protestant and secular historians usually refer to the Schism of the East as the Great Schism, which occurred in the eleventh century. In both of the schisms, the fault lay in individual's sin, mostly the sin of pride. In the Western Schism, it was national pride of European nations, in the Eastern Schism, it was national pride of some Eastern patriarchs.
When did the name Roman Catholic Church first appear?
A:The term 'Roman Catholic Church' appears to have been used from the time of the Great Schism of 1054. Some modern Catholics regard the term as pejorative, preferring simply 'Catholic Church', but the fuller term is widely used within the Church itself and by its clerics and theologians.
