The Great Schism of 1054 A.D. was the beginning. As to how, there was a disagreement between the Pope in Rome and the Patriarch of Constantinople. They each wound up excommunicating the other.
While the millenia anniversary of the schism is coming up in another 44 years, there is little hope that the Eastern Orthodox church will place itself under the authority of the Roman Catholic Pope, or contrarily, that the Pope will cede his earthly rule to the Synod of the Orthodox churches.
Orthodox view
The Orthodox Christian Church (also referred to as the Eastern Orthodox Church) claims that it began in the year 33 AD, on the Day of Pentecost. At that time, there was no such thing as a Catholic or Orthodox Church, as everyone was part of the One Church. However, in 1054 AD, the West broke away and formed what is now known as the Roman Catholic Church. Following this, numerous Protestant groups were formed in the West, whereas the East remained united and unchanged, as the one Church that continued from 33 AD to the present day.
