The Avignon papacy lay the groundwork for the Western Schism. Because of the move to Avignon, the papacy there gained a reputation for being controlled by the French kings and suffering from widespread corruption.
In 1377 the pope decided to move back to Rome, but died the next year. After that the College of Cardinals where forced by the Roman people to select a Roman pope, so under duress they choose Urban VI. Urban faced pressure from the French king to return to Avignon right from the start, but didn't give in. He also alienated most cardinals, who quickly regretted electing him. So in 1378 they elected another pope and decided to accept the French king's invitation, thereby creating the dual papacy in Rome and Avignon until 1418.
BTW I assume you mean the Western Schism - normally the Great Schism is used to describe the split between the Eastern Orthodox and the Roman Catholic one and the Avignon papacy didn't really have much influence on that.

What was the name given to the 1378 division in the church?
According to History Today, it is called the Great Schism: Great Schism (1378-1417)Division of the Roman Catholic church in which rival popes sat in Rome and Avignon. The election of the Italian Pope Urban VI (a reaction to the French-dominated Avignon papacy) led to the election of a rival pope, the French Clement VII. The two sat respectively at Rome and Avignon, causing the schism. France, Scotland, Castile and Portugal backed Clement; England, Flanders, Hungary and the Holy Roman empire supported Urban. In 1409 the Council of Pisa attempted to resolve the split but only produced a third rival pope. Another council at Constance (1414) which healed the schism by electing one new Matin V. The schism weakened the papacy and strengthened the view that popes should be guided by church councils.

How and why did the authority and prestige of the papacy decline in the fourteenth century?
In the fourteenth century, the authority and prestige of the papacy declined due to various factors such as the Avignon Papacy, also known as the Babylonian Captivity, where the popes resided in Avignon under the influence of the French monarchy, leading to a perception of corruption and political manipulation. The Great Schism further weakened papal authority, with multiple claimants to the papacy causing confusion and division among the faithful. Additionally, the Black Death and other crises of the time eroded confidence in the Church's ability to provide spiritual leadership.

How did Luther's 'Babylonian Captivity of the Church' and the Great Schism affect the Christian Church?
The Crusaders became the military arm of the Church, and used force to restore Christianity. The Papacy suffered badly over the Crusades, as did all Christendom.The Babylonian Captivity was the moving of the Papacy to Avignon in France from 1305 - 1378. This split the Church and divided the leadership as there were two Popes at the same time. The illegitimate or unrecognised Pope is called an Antipope. This lead to schism.The Great Schism (sometimes called the Western Schism related to the Popes in Avignon and the Popes in Rome. By its end, three men simultaneously claimed to be the true pope. Driven by politics rather than any real theological disagreement, the schism was ended by the Council of Constance (1414-1418). The simultaneous claims to the papal chair of three different men hurt the reputation of the office.
What city did NOT have its own pope during the years of the Great Schism?
.Catholic AnswerNo city ever has "its own pope". The pope has always been in Rome. During the Great Schism, there was a French anti-pope who was in Avignon, France, and near the end of the Great Schism, there was an Italian anti-pope in Pisa. So for your multiple choice question, any city outside of the Vatican and Rome did not have a Pope, and any city outside of Avignon and Pisa didn't even have a claimant to the Chair of Peter.
What were the results of the schism from the Roman Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerThere were two "schisms" that are commonly referred to when speaking of the church. The Western Schism or Great Schism was not a true schism but refers to the time in the late 14 century when the Pope moved to Avignon and another pseudo-Pope was elected in Rome; at one time, before the end of this disaster there were three "popes". The Schism of the East, which was a true schism, resulted in the Orthodox Church separating from the Catholic Church in 1054. This schism has been an off again, on again thing through the centuries and is a great heartbreak for the Church.
