Roman Catholic AnswerThere is no "the Schism", A schism is any person or group who leaves the Church setting up their own Church. For it to be a true schism the person leaves the Church by refusing to submit to the authority of the pope or to hold communion with members of the Church subject to him. A person or group guilty of schism usually ends up in apostasy and heresy, but they are not the same. None of the above can receive the Sacraments and the conditions for absolution are the same for all three. Groups that are in schism from the Church are the Polish National Catholics, the Old Catholics, and the Orthodox Churches. These Churches all maintain valid Orders, and have valid sacraments. The Society of St. Pius X, as of spring 2012, is headed in that direction. Groups that when into schism and immediately lapsed into apostasy and heresy were the protestant of the first generation. Their descendants are not in schism as they did not maintain a true Church with valid Orders and Sacraments. The Great Schism, in the Catholic Church usually refers to the 14th century when there were claimants to the papal throne living in Avignon. Protestants and secular scholars usually refer to the Eastern Schism as the Great Schism, which would probably be more accurate, but is not commonly terminology in the Church, where it is always referred to as the Schism of the East.

What is the definfition of Great Schism?

The Great Schism usually refers to the formal separation in 1054 between Roman Catholicism and the Orthodox Church. (There are many points of difference between the two Churches, though both continue to consider themselves Catholic, and both profess their faith on the points of the Nicene Creed). But the Great Schism may also sometimes refer to the period of the Avignon / Rome pope / antipope controversy. (Crucially this period includes the conflict between Baldassare Cossa and Jan Hus - from which all subsequent Protestantism flows). And for devotees of the Russian Orthodox church the Great Schism may also refer to the conflict with the Old Believers doctrines.

Did the Pope and the patriarch of Constantinople excommunicate each other and create a schism within Christianity in 1054 AD?

Yes, these events are known as the Great Schism when the Roman Catholic church broke off The Orthodox Church.Roman Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic Church, the "Great Schism" usually refers to the Western schism when there were two, sometimes, three claimants to the papal throne. The pope had moved to Avignon, in France; another Pope was elected in Rome. This went on from 1378 until 1417. The Schism of the East in 1054 was between the Catholic Church and what is now called the Orthodox Church, is sometimes now in popular cultures as "the Great Schism". But, as I said, it is confusing as that technically refers to the Schism of the West not the East.
