Throughout its history the Christian church has undergone two major splits:
- The first occurred in 1054 AD, in what is commonly called "The Great Schism" in which the church was split into the Eastern Orthodox and Western branches. The split came to be as a result of deteriorating relations, and theological disagreements between the Pope of Rome, and the Patriarch of Constantinople.
- The second split began in 1517 AD, but was not officially recognized until 1648. This split of the Catholic church occurred when Martin Luther posted his infamous "Ninety-five Theses" and Christians across Europe defected from the Catholic church, forming the Protestant branch of Christianity.

The first split between the Christian church in the East and the Christian church in the West probably took place during the time of the Byzantine Empire. Some of the issues that caused this split were that the Eastern emperor viewed himself as head of the church as well as ruler of state, and the Pope in the West viewed HIMSELF as head of the church, and a varying opinion over idols. The Westerners had no problem worshipping/praying to idols, because many of them couldn't read, but the Easterners felt that it was wrong to worship an image. Thus, the church split into the Roman Catholics and the Greek Orthodox.
