Before protestants there were was one major christian church. It was just called The Church. Within that church there were 7 different branches (the biggest being Rome) that believed the same just different traditions and language. At the head of each of these branches was a group of bishops. Once or twice a year all the bishops of the different branches discussed religious matters about the church. But Rome was basically the highest of the 7. As time went on the Roman bishops wanted only one leader to lead the whole group that could communicate to God for them. The church closest to Rome was Constantinople. So Constantinople was the first to hear about there change. Constantinople excommunicated the Roman Church and the Roman church excommunicated Constantinople. So then there was just 5 churches. When the remaining 5 churches got word of what went on they brought back in the Constantinople church and they became the Orthodox church. And the Roman church turned into the Catholic church. So basically neither of us were really excommunicated but most people call this the first schism. and the second schism being the protestant. but looking at this subject there are many differant opinions

What does it mean to be cut off from the Christian church?
The word is 'excommunicated'. If a person says or does things publicly that are against the teachings of the church they can be excommunicated. It means being cut off from membership with the church. In practical terms these days, this only amounts to a cutting off from the church where one was a member. Many churches do not practice this anyway, but when it is done it often simply results in the person going to another church which doesn't discipline its members. This of course defeats the purpose, which is to lead the person to repentance.
