schism.....
The East–West Schism, commonly referred to as the Great Schism of 1054, is the break of communion between what are now the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Churches, which began in the 11th century and continues.
The split between the Eastern Orthodox and the western Catholic Churches was caused by a number of different factors. Namely, neither side could decide on the Pope's role in the church, or the scope of his authority.
The Eastern Orthodox Church split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1054 due to disagreements over the authority of the Pope, theological differences, and cultural and political divisions between the East and West.

The break in Christianity between the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church is known as the Great Schism, which occurred in 1054. This division was primarily due to theological, political, and cultural differences, including disputes over papal authority and the filioque clause in the Nicene Creed. The schism formalized the separation between Western Christianity (Roman Catholicism) and Eastern Christianity (Orthodoxy).
