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.

Western Christianity and Eastern Christianity differ in their theological beliefs, practices, and church structures. Western Christianity, represented by the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant denominations, emphasizes the authority of the Pope, original sin, and the concept of purgatory. Eastern Christianity, represented by the Eastern Orthodox Church, focuses on the authority of councils, theosis (the process of becoming more like God), and the belief in the divine liturgy. Additionally, Western Christianity tends to use more individualistic language and focuses on personal salvation, while Eastern Christianity emphasizes communal salvation and the importance of the church community.
Eastern Christianity and Western Christianity differ in their theological beliefs, church structure, liturgical practices, and cultural influences. Eastern Christianity, represented by the Eastern Orthodox Church, emphasizes mysticism, iconography, and the importance of tradition. Western Christianity, represented by the Roman Catholic Church and Protestant denominations, places more emphasis on the authority of the Pope, the concept of original sin, and the role of individual faith. These differences have led to distinct practices and beliefs within each tradition.
Western Europe is majority Catholic whiel Russia is majority Eastern Orthodox. Both are branches of Christianity, however.
The Great Schism was between the eastern (Greek)and western (Latin) branches of Christianity: the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. This was not due to eastern and western empires splitting their religions. The western empire did not exist then. It had fallen more than 1,000 years earlier. It was a falling out between the two main branches of Christianity. Previously they had tried to be two branches of a Christian creed which was united against several diffident forms of dissident Christianity. Disagreements and conflict between the two churches grew and this led to the schism.
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).

Conflict between the eastern and western counties often stemmed from economic, cultural, and political differences. The eastern counties typically had more developed economies and greater access to resources, leading to tensions over wealth distribution and representation. Additionally, differing social values and lifestyles contributed to misunderstandings and disagreements. These factors combined often resulted in disputes over governance and policy priorities, fueling further conflict.
A rift developed between Latin Christianity and Greek Christianity which then led to the schism between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches. The conflict between the two led to mutual distrust . The Orthodox Church was the church of the Byzantine Empire.
