Best Answer

You are referring to the Great Schism, where excommunication began by the Pope Leo IX in the Hagia Sophia in 1054. Tensions between both of the churches began when the Pope crowned Charlemagne the Great of Germany the King of Rome, beginning the Holy Roman Empire in the 800s. The Byzantine Empire considered themselves (and rightfully so, they were the Eastern half that never fell) the true Romans, so they took this move by the Papacy as a diplomatic insult. There were also things that Pope and Patriarch of Constantinople could not agree on, such as the Catholic use of unleavened bread for the Eucharist at Mass. Also, there was the Catholic tradition that priests must be celibate, while the Eastern Orthodox Church allowed them to marry, making Catholics rather angry. Basically, it was a failure to agree on interpretations of Scripture that causes fragmentation in all forms of organized religion and ideology.
