Roman Catholic AnswerSchism is a willful separation from the unity of the Christian Church (Catholic Church).

Heresy is to pertinaciously deny or doubt any of the truths that must be believed with divine and Catholic faith while remaining nominally a Christian.

Apostasy is the total rejection by a baptized person of the Christian faith he once professed.

So, to answer your question: if the person "breaks away" from the Church to create another religion as in the Orthodox Church, the Society of St. Pius X, or others, while retaining most of the Christian faith but denying the authority of the Pope, then it is called schism.

If the person "breaks away" and creates a religion that they maintain is Christian but denies most Christian beliefs, such as the protestant, and others, then they are heretics.

If the person "breaks away" to create a religion such as paganism, witchcraft, Jim Jones, and other non-Christian religions, then they are an apostate.

Do Catholics believe religion causes conflict not peace?

If Catholics believed that religion caused conflict, then they would be contradicting themselves. Catholicism IS a religion. The reason there is no peace is because people sin. Greed, Sloth, Gluttony, Lust, Pride, Wrath, Envy. Not only this, but many people misinterpret what the Catholic Church teaches and this causes people to break away and create other religions, such as Martin Luther. Hence the many, MANY misconceptions about the Catholic Church. So i implore you to thoroughly research the questions you have about the Catholic faith from the Catholic's point of view. -Ask a Catholic priest -search for answers at www.newadvent.org or at www.catholic.org or at www.ourcatholicfaith.org And if you were wondering, I am Roman Catholic.
