Communication was poor in those days, and when one pope died, by the time the word got out, Orthodox had chosen their pope, and Romans had chosen their pope. There cannot be two popes, and neither side would agree that the other side's pope was chosen by God.

What two branches of Christianity were formed in 1054?
In 1054 Christ's which (except for small groups of heretics and the Oriental Orthodox) was generally undivided and truly one split into the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Orthodox would see the division this way: before 1054 there was just the Orthodox Church. After 1054 there was the Orthodox Church and the heretical church of the Patriarch of Rome, which would eventually call itself the Roman Catholic Church. The Romans would say that prior to 1054 there was just the Roman Catholic Church and then the Orthodox split off becoming a separate church. The way I, an Anglo Catholic, see it was that they both split from each other creating the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. Neither church really existed as a separate denomination before. The denominational terms came into existence because of the tragic split.

They were not. Both the Orthodox and Roman Catholics accept the decision of the Seventh Ecumenical Council which declared that the veneration of icons is essential in the Christian Church. The split (or schism) was due to other causes, such as Papal claims of supremacy, and the change to the Creed.
