The Chirstian Church had a schism in A.D. 1054 because:

  • Eastern Orthodox would not recognize the authority of the pope.
  • Greek was the language for Byzantine Churches and Latin was the language for Roman Catholics.
  • at that time, many Christians prayed to saints or holy people represented by icons or paintings of them. A Byzantine emperor thought the violated God's commandments, and outlawed them. The pope disagreed and banished him from the church. But Byzantines felt he didn't have that authority.

What year was Catholicism found?

The Christian church split 1054 into the Eastern and the Western, which was then to become the Roman Catholic church. Actually, the Church was founded on Pentecost Sunday about the year 33 AD when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles and inspired them to begin evangelizing. We do not know when the word 'Catholic Church' was first spoken but it first appears in the writings on St. Ignatius of Antioch in the year 106 AD. When the Church split in 1054 the West kept the name Catholic while the East became known as the Orthodox.

What kind of religion like in constantinople?

Until 1054, the year of the Great Schism, there were five patriarchates, or seats of authority, of the Church founded by Christ: Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria, and Jerusalem. After the Schism, the Patriarch of Rome became the Pope of the, from that point on, Catholic Church. All the other Patriarchates continued as the Orthodox Christian Church. Constantinople was never Roman Catholic. The Greek Orthodox Christian Church in Constantinople/Istanbul is currently under attack by the Muslim Turkish government. The government will not allow an Orthodox Christian seminary to be built, and will not allow Orthodox priests to come from other countries. None of us know exactly what it was like back in 1054. edit: And the Orthodox Church does *not* recognize the Pope as anything but the head of the Catholic Church.
