Roman Catholic AnswerThe Eastern Schism was centuries in the making but became fixed in 1054, when the Patriarch of Constantinople, Michael Cerularius was excommunicated by the papal legates for opposing the use of leavened bread by the Latin Church and removing the Pope's name from the diptychs to be prayed for in the Eucharistic liturgy.

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 kind of religion like in constantinople?

Until 1054, the year of the Great Schism, there were five patriarchates, or seats of authority, of the Church founded by Christ: Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria, and Jerusalem. After the Schism, the Patriarch of Rome became the Pope of the, from that point on, Catholic Church. All the other Patriarchates continued as the Orthodox Christian Church. Constantinople was never Roman Catholic. The Greek Orthodox Christian Church in Constantinople/Istanbul is currently under attack by the Muslim Turkish government. The government will not allow an Orthodox Christian seminary to be built, and will not allow Orthodox priests to come from other countries. None of us know exactly what it was like back in 1054. edit: And the Orthodox Church does *not* recognize the Pope as anything but the head of the Catholic Church.
