 East-West Schism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since its earliest days, the Church recognized the special positions of three bishops, who were known as patriarchs: the Bishop of Rome, the Bishop of Alexandria, and the Bishop of Antioch.
Each takes the view that it is the "One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church", implying that the other group left the true church during the Schism.
Although the Great Schism was still centuries away, its outlines were already perceptible.

Schism, Great, or Schism of the West, division in the Roman Catholic Church from 1378 to 1417.
The main effects of the schism were to delay needed reforms in the church and to give rise to the conciliar theory, which was revived at the Council of Basel (see Basel, Council of).
There was no question of faith or practice involved; the schism was a matter of persons and politics.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Western Schism
In behalf of the great majority of clergy and people must be pleaded the good faith which excludes all errors and the wellnigh impossibility for the simple faithful to reach the truth.
Schism and heresy as sins and vices, he adds in 1412, can only result from stubborn opposition either to the unity of the Church, or to an article of faith.
This schism of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries differs in all points from the Eastern Schism.

Most commonly, "Great Schism" refers to the "great East-West schism", the split between the Eastern and Western churches in the eleventh century; the second schism, the "schism of the west" in the fourteenth century, refers to a time when three (claimant) popes were elected at the same time.
With movement of the emperor and political authority from Rome to Constantinople, a division was caused in the religious climate of the empire.
From this time forward in the Catholic church it was decreed explicitly that no Council had power over the Popes, and there is no way to undo a Papal election by anyone but the pope.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Eastern Schism
However, the Eastern Schism always means that most deplorable quarrel of which the final result is the separation of the vast majority of Eastern Christians from union with the Catholic Church, the schism that produced the separated, so-called "Orthodox" Church.
If the four Eastern patriarchs agreed upon any course it was practically a foregone conclusion that their metropolitans and bishops would follow them and that the priests and people would follow the bishops.
There were fifty-five years of schism (343-98) during the Arian troubles, eleven because of St.

very great weakness of the Roman Church in its struggle to secure the headship of all Christendom was the manner in which the Pope was chosen.

 The Great Schism of Jainism
The history of Jaina religion is full of references to the various schisms that had taken place from time to time, and some of these schisms contributed to the rise of sects and sub-sects in Jaina religion.
It is maintained that there were eight schisms, of which the first was caused by Jamali during Tirthankara Mahavira's lifetime, and the eighth took place during the first century of the Christian Era, that is after the lapse of nearly six hundred years after the nirvana of Tirthankara Mahavira.
Among these schisms, the eighth schism was more important as it ultimately split the Jaina religion into two distinct sects of Digambara Jainas and Svetambara Jainas.

 History
The Great Schism is the title given to separation between the Western Church (the Roman Catholic) and the Eastern Church, (the Orthodox), which took place in the eleventh century.
The Teachings of Christianity were developed by great pastors and theologians who are known as the "Fathers" of the Church.
The counciliar and collegial expression of Church life and authority which was manifest at the Ecumenical Councils and other synods of the early Church continue to be an important aspect of Orthodox Christianity.

 Great Schism - OrthodoxWiki
So the Creed was changed by a local synod of bishops and the justification was that it both asserts the divinity of Christ (refuting Arianism) and the unity of the Trinity.
The Great Schism of 1054 caused a split between the See of Rome (now the Roman Catholic Church) and the other Christian Patriarchates.
As soon as the See of Rome endorsed the idea of the Filioque, there is a split between the true faith and a schismatic faith.

 Byzantine Catholic Church in America
The "Great Schism" between the Catholic and the Orthodox Churches is surely one of the most unfortunate chapters in the history of the Church.
The Great Schism separated the entire Christian West from the Christian East, creating a sense of isolation in both East and West, to each Church's detriment.
At various times, it has led to a regrettably sectarian spirit in both Churches and it is this schism that representatives of each Church were trying to mend in their most recent meeting in Emmitsburg, Maryland in July 2000.

 History of the Christian Church, Schaff, 1910 edition with power search.
Thus the schism was completed, and Western Europe had the spectacle of two popes elected by the same college of cardinals without a dissenting voice, and each making full claims to the prerogative of the supreme pontiff of the Christian world.
One of the first deliverances was a solemn profession of the Holy Trinity and the Catholic faith, and that every heretic and schismatic will share with the devil and his angels the burnings of eternal fire unless before the end of this life he make his peace with the Catholic Church.
It was the opportunity to put an end to the disturbance in the Church by maintaining the residence of the papacy in its ancient seat, and restoring to it the dignity which it had lost by its long exile.

 chaucer2
The church, in general, was unable or unwilling to end the Schism and essentially abdicated its prerogatives of power to determine its own destiny by granting that authority to secular institutions.
The letter itself states that Clement's curialists were convinced they would "get great offices and fat benefices now that the church is in turmoil, which they rightly believe they could never get in a whole and united church." After some delay, and considerable difficulty, the letter was read before Charles VI on June 30, 1394.
There was little doubt in anyone's mind at the time, of course, that the Schism posed a grave threat to the church and to the salvation of all its believers.

 History of the Orthodox Church
Unlike the Copts or Armenians who broke from the Church in the fifth century and established ethnic churches at the cost of their universality and catholicity, the eastern and western parts of the Church remained loyal to the faith and authority of the seven ecumenical councils.
Islam not only recognized Jesus as a great prophet, but tolerated Christians as another People of the Book.
We need only turn to Justinian's (532) "Great Church" of the Holy Wisdom -- the Hagia Sophia in Constantinople -- to understand this.

In the great majority of the times the word church is used in the New Testament it refers to a "local" assembly of believers.
The influence of these teaching has done great harm to the correct interpretation of Scripture and has been used to foster many un-Scriptural beliefs and practices.
They taught that a verse of Scripture had a literal means, but also it had a hidden or deeper spiritual meaning.

 ORB: The Online Reference Book for Medieval Studies
The excesses of the papacy at Avignon, and even more the spectacle of the schism, caused many thoughtful Christians to lose faith not in their religion, but in the priesthood.
The most significant development was that of lay piety, movements all over Europe (but especially strong in the cities) in which laymen sought God not through the agency of their priest and the sacraments, but through Bible study and common prayer.
The Council was called as much to address other issues as to settle the Schism, for by this time many people believed that reform of the Church was necessary to prevent another catastrophe like the Schism.

 Great Schism
The term Great Schism is used to refer to two major events in the history of Christianity: the division between the Eastern (Orthodox) and Western (Roman) churches, and the period (1378 - 1417) during which the Western church had first two, and later three, lines of popes.
The schism between the Eastern and Western churches is traditionally dated to 1054, although the precise point at which the split became a fixed and lasting reality is difficult to determine.
Although the beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church are closer to the beliefs of the Orthodox Church than are those of any other churches, it is necessary to list a few of the innovations added by the Roman Church after the separation of the Western from the Eastern Church.

 Gobbet 13 - The great schism and the reformation
The Great Schism was when the Western and the Eastern churches split in 1054.
The Eastern Church became the Orthodox (centered in Constantinople[now Istanbul) and the Western the Roman church (centered in Rome).
From this movement came figures such as Calvin and later the church of England.

 Excerpts from the Orthodox Church by Bishop Kallistos Ware
The great centers of the semi-eremitic life in Egypt were Nitria and Scetis, which by the end of the fourth century had produced many outstanding monks — Ammon the founder of Nitria, Macarius of Egypt and Macarius of Alexandria, Evagrius of Pontus, and Arsenius the Great.
Nicholas was a great reforming Pope, with an exalted idea of the prerogatives of his see, and he had already done much to establish an absolute power over all bishops in the west.
But they see in the period of the Councils the great age of theology; and, next to the Bible, it is the Seven Councils which the Orthodox Church takes as its standard and guide in seeking solutions to the new problems which arise in every generation.

 Decline of the Church
Positive action came in the form of the Conciliar Movement, a return to the early Christian practice of solving church problems by means of a general council of churches.
During the Great Schism, as the split of the church into two allegiances was called,
Not until almost a century later, when the Council of Trent convened in 1545, did a great council meet to reform the church.

 O'Donnell, Demise
There is a great deal of superficial non- Christian religion and religiosity in and about Ammianus.
While there were, in any medieval century, relatively few individuals inside the boundaries of the great Christian kingdoms and empires who openly rejected the Christian faith, there were always new races to convert and new groups to assimilate, however imperfectly.
Judaism held that it was itself the only acceptable form of worship, but held further that this worship was the private property of a chosen people, a special nation set apart by God to enjoy His blessings.

While it is commonly accepted that the separation of Rome and Constantinople into two Christian Churches was the result of centuries of conflict, the event became known as the Great Schism of 1054.
The Byzantine or Orthodox Church resulted from the schism.
It shared a common heritage and common doctrine, as set forth in the first seven ecumenical councils, but it was no longer aligned with the Roman Catholic Church.

 Ecumenical Councils and the rise and fall of the Church of Rome (Roman Catholic Church) - abelard
The subsequent history of Monophysite doctrine in the Eastern Church is the history of national and independent churches (e.g., the Syrian Jacobites) that, either for reasons of reverence for some religious leader or as a reaction against the dominance of the Byzantine or Roman churches, retained a separate existence.
Not to be confused with the Great East-West Schism, also called the Great Schism.
An ecumenical council is a grand gathering of the whole church establishment, in particular the bishops, which title includes all church ranks from bishop up to the pope.

In response to this request, each member of the faculty was asked to propose in writing the way which seemed best to him, and to advance -all the possible arguments in its favor.
We mean that the matter shall be left to a general council.
If the rival popes, after being urged in a brotherly and friendly manners will not accept either of the above ways, there is a third way which we propose as an excellent remedy for this sacrilegious schism.

 The Undivided Church and The Great Schism
Matters of faith and morals affecting the whole Church were brought before an Ecumenical Council (of which there were seven universally accepted) over which the five great bishops of Christendom presided.
These bishops, whose Sees represented the important cities of Jerusalem, Antioch, Constantinople, Alexandria, and Rome, were known as patriarchs in whom the Church of the ancients recognized its sovereignty.

 The Great Schism: Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism
The Eastern Church became known as the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Western Church became know as the Roman Catholic Church, for it was governed and administered by the bishop or Pope of Rome.
Unfortunately, by the eleventh century A.D. the differences between East and West became great enough to cause a separation of the One Holy Orthodox Catholic Church.
Again it must be emphasized that there were many factors besides theological ones which led to the schism of the one Christian Church.

 What is the great Schism?
The Great schism was a formal division in the church in 1054.
In 1309, Clement V decided that Avignon, France was a better and more centralized position to “advise” the Christian world from.
Actually just outside of France, nonetheless the French king had great influence and power over the pope so near his own lands.

 Avignon Papacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The establishment of the church councils, with the power to decide over the position of Pope, was one of the main outcomes of the schism.
The period has been called the "Babylonian captivity" of the popes, particularly by Martin Luther but also by many Catholic writers.
The great success of the Jubilee Year 1300 (it is reported that up to 2 million pilgrims visited Rome) considerably strengthened the prestige of the Papacy, brought funds to Rome and led the Pope to grossly overestimate his temporal powers.

 Don Monkerud: The Great Christian Schism: Make War or Peace?
Another reason for the schism comes in who gets included in "the Kingdom of God." The mainline churches include everyone while the evangelicals exclude those who don't agree with their doctrine and interpretation of the Bible.
Fundamentalists are more likely to take their cue from Romans in the New Testament, which say your leaders come from God.
Carter finds that the differences in the scriptures emphasized by fundamentalists versus mainline denominations are so great that they appear to be following two completely different books.

The 39-year schism killed the supranational papacy of the Middle Ages, for; while devout Christians agonized, practical politicians (often the same people) seized the chance to extend their jurisdiction at the Church's expense.
This Council healed the Schism by deposing both John and the Avignon pope Benedict XIII and accepting the resignation of the Roman pope, thus leaving the way open for the election in 1417 of Martin V (1417-31), who set about the task of restoring the shattered power and prestige of the Holy See.
It was the continued pressure of Ladislas that finally compelled Alexander's successor Baldassare Cossa (John XXIII) to summon the Council of Constance (1414-18}.

 Great Schism
The Great Schism began shortly after Gregory XI returned the Papacy to Rome in 1377, after its "Babylonian Captivity.
Thus began the Great Schism, as two lines of popes continued to succeed each other, one based at Rome and the other at Avignon, each appointing cardinals.
Martin, a Colonna, proved a very able pope, and a dedicated reformer, but the prestige of the papacy had been seriously injured, helping to pave the way for Protestantism, which is another story.
