The result of excommunications in 1054 was the Great Schism, when the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church split. This schism created a permanent division between the Eastern and Western branches of Christianity, leading to differences in doctrine, theology, and church structure that persist to this day.


What is the oldest denomination?

The very early days of Christianity apparently saw considerable diversity within the Christian community, as evidenced by the comments of authors such as Paul and Matthew. It may be that the earliest Christian sect was called the Ebionites, however, the Ebionites soon faded from history. Most early Christian sects are generally known today as Catholic-Orthodox Christianity and Gnosticism. We can not really say whether Gnosticism preceded the Catholic-Orthodox Christian faith, or the other way around, although modern churches do insist that Gnosticism arose after Catholic-Orthodox Christianity. However, Gnosticism was never a centalised faith, and never had a strong hierarchy, so was at a disadvantage against the Catholic-Orthodox Christian faith. When Emperor Constantine gave state patronage to Catholic-Orthodox Christianity and authorised it to take over the assets of the Gnostic Churches, the Gnostic Churches were ultimately doomed. The Great Schism of 1054 CE saw Catholic-Orthodox Christianity finally split into the Roman Catholic and the Orthodox branches, which are equally old.

Why was Catholicism the first Christian religion?

The very early days of Christianity apparently saw considerable diversity within the Christian community, as evidenced by the comments of authors such as Paul and Matthew. Some of the very early Christian sects include Ebionites, Nazarenes, Nazoraeans, Cerinthians and Carpocratians, as well as what was later to become known as the proto-Catholic Orthodox Church. With the strong support of Emperor Constantine, the Catholic Orthodox Church became the dominant Christian Church and eventually the state religion of Rome. After the Great Schism of 1054, the then universal Catholic Orthodox Church split into the separate Roman Catholic and Orthodox branches of Christianity. So, although Catholicism has roots going back to the very beginning of Christianity, it really only separated from its sister Orthodox Churches in 1054 CE.
