It established precedent for secession. The split divided what had been a united and universal church. It paved the way for further splits, notably the Protestant Reformation and the Church of England.
Subsequent splits have been so massive, that some splits of splits of splits now outnumber in membership the original churches.
This affected Christianity in diminishing it's overall political power. Were it still united, with no rivals, it would command two billion or so of the world's citizens, or 1 out of 3.

∙ 13y agoPrior to the Great Schism of 1054, there was only one main Christian Church (excluding the Coptic Church and remnant gnostics). The Schism resulted in the creation of the Roman Catholic Church in the west, and Orthodox Churches in the east.

The view held by religious authorities in the mainly Greek-speaking eastern regions was that the Metropolitans were of equal authority, but the bishop of Rome, designated in the west as the Pope, insisted that he had greater authority than the others. Gradually, differences built up until the Great Schism of 1054. Pope Leo XI insisted on inserting the clause known as the filioque clause into the Nicene Creed in spite of a requirement that no change could be made to the Nicene Creed other than by a council of the bishops. Another trigger was that the western churches insisted on celibacy for the clergy, whereas the eastern churches regarded marriage by the clergy as acceptable.
There were attempts at reconciliation and the Churches came close to being reunited in 1274 and in 1439, but the schism eventually became permanent.

When was the first schism of the Christian church?
We do not know when the first schism in the Christian Church occurred. Even in the time of Saint Paul, he talks of opponents and those who taught a "different Christ". By the beginning of the second century, and probably earlier, Christianity was divided along two major lines: what is sometimes now called the proto-Catholic-Orthodox Church and the Gnostic Churches. Marcion made his break from Rome in the middle of the second century. The split of the Coptic Church from the Catholic-Orthodox Church occurred in 451 CE. The Great Schism of 1054 separated the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. The Western Schism of the fourteenth century temporarily split the Catholic Church. The Protestant Reformation was the next major schism, in the sixteenth century.
What day was the Catholic Church formed?
There is no one day when we can say the Catholic Church was born.The original Christian Church is generally thought to have begun between about 30 and 33 CE, and the Catholic Church also claims this to be the start of the Catholic Church, ignoring the competing claims of the Orthodox Church and perhaps even the Gnostics.A more neutral answer could be that the Catholic Church began in the Great Schism of 1054, when the churches of Rome and Greece parted company.

Why was Catholicism the first Christian religion?
The very early days of Christianity apparently saw considerable diversity within the Christian community, as evidenced by the comments of authors such as Paul and Matthew. Some of the very early Christian sects include Ebionites, Nazarenes, Nazoraeans, Cerinthians and Carpocratians, as well as what was later to become known as the proto-Catholic Orthodox Church. With the strong support of Emperor Constantine, the Catholic Orthodox Church became the dominant Christian Church and eventually the state religion of Rome. After the Great Schism of 1054, the then universal Catholic Orthodox Church split into the separate Roman Catholic and Orthodox branches of Christianity. So, although Catholicism has roots going back to the very beginning of Christianity, it really only separated from its sister Orthodox Churches in 1054 CE.

What is the origin of the Catholic religion?
The Christian Church is thought to have started around 30-33 CE in the Near East, probably in Jerusalem. A second-century tradition claims that Peter went to Rome to lead the Church there, but there was already a Christian community in Rome during the time of the apostle Paul, as we can see from his Epistle to the Romans. We do not know the origin of this community but, at this stage, the Roman church was not yet separate from the Church of the east.The Catholic Church, as we know it today, originated from the Great Schism of 1054, when the Christian Church split to form the Catholic Church in the west and the Orthodox Church in the east.
