When did the Christian Church split into two different denominations?

Answer 1

Never. The Catholic church is a Christian church.

For the first 1500 years of Christianity, the Catholic Church was the only one in existence.

Protestants are people who broke off from the Church because of the widespread corruption they saw, or for political gains. Martin Luther, John Calvin, Henry Tudor, etc. broke away from the Christian Chruch, and that started the distinction between protestant and Catholic.

Answer 2

"Split" is not really the correct term. As well, Protestantism manifested itself at different times and in different ways in different areas. Protestantism was a movement born from many underlying forces and ideas that finally manifested in one man, Martin Luther. Many would place the beginning of Protestantism on Oct 31st, 1517, the day Martin Luther posted his 95 theses for open discussion. The Catholic Church took immediate action against proposals it saw as heretical and things went from there. Protestantism, being a revolutionary movement, had no visible hierarchy and things were further complicated by the fact that anyone could appeal to Scripture. The result was fragmentation, a fragmentation that continues to this very day. Protestantism is now an umbrella word for a conglomerate of thousands of Christian sects.

The older denominations quickly grew from Luther's advance which began in Germany. Zwingli starting his movement in Zurich in 1519, Henry VIII gave rise to Anglicanism in 1533 in England and Calvin emerged in 1536 with what ultimately became Calvinism in France. Most Protestant denominations trace back to one of these ideologies.

Answer 4

Tensions increased between the two locations of Christianity (east and west or Roman and Byzantine) when Pope Leo III made Charlemagne the Holy Roman Emperor. This really ticked off the eastern church because they were totally left out. So in about 1050, they formally split from the Roman church and became the Eastern Orthodox church.

Answer 5

The Orthodox left the Church in 1054 A.D.

from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957

The Schism of the East the estrangement and severance from the Holy See of what is now called the Orthodox Eastern Church was a gradual process extending over centuries. After a number of minor schisms the first serious, though short, break was that of Photius; from then on tension between East and West increased, and the schism of Cerularius occurred in 1054. From then on the breach gradually widened and has been definitive since 1472. There was a formal union from the 2nd Council of Lyons in 1274 until 1282, and a more promising one after the Council of Florence from 1439 to 1472. After the capture of Constantinople it was in the Turkish interest to reopen and widen the breach with the powerful Roman church; the patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem were dragged into this policy, Russia and the Slav churches stood out the longest of any: none of these churches, except Constantinople itself in 1472, formally and definitely broke away from the unity of the Church. But in the course of centuries the schism has set and crystallized into a definite separation from the Holy See of many million people with a true priesthood and valid sacraments. The origins, causes and development of the schism are matters of much complication, still not fully unraveled.

from

Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

Separation of the Christian Churches of the East from unity with Rome. The schism was centuries in the making and finally became fixed in 1054, when the Patriarch of Constantinople, Michael Cerularisu (died 1059), 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 or list of persons to be prayed for in the Eucharistic liturgy. A temporary reunion with Rome was effected by the Second Council of Lyons (1274) and the Council of Florence (1439) but never stabilized.
