| | Circle of Prayer - Schism & Division |
 | | Schism is the formal separation from the unity of the Church. | | | Schism (separation from the Church) differs from Heresy (denial of a truth of faith). | | | This schism was followed by the separation of the Russo-Greek Church in the 12th century. |

| | East-West Schism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Several Eastern Churches make the claim that they never separated from the Western Church, though these churches are not now part of the Orthodox Church. | | | 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. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Western Schism |
| | 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. | | | It was a terrible and distressing problem which lasted forty years and tormented two generations of Christians; a schism in the course of which there was no schismatic intention, unless exception perhaps be made of some exalted persons who should have considered the interests of the Church before all else. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Schism |
| | As schism in its definition and full sense is the practical denial of ecclesiastical unity, the explanation of the former requires a clear definition of the latter, and to prove the necessity of the latter is to establish the intrinsic malice of the former. | | | Schism (from the Greek schisma, rent, division) is, in the language of theology and canon law, the rupture of ecclesiastical union and unity, i. | | | Luke speaking in praise of the primitive church mentions its unanimity of belief, obedience, and worship: "They were persevering in the doctrine of the apostles, and in the communication of the breaking of bread, and in prayers" (Acts 2:42). |

| | Eastern Churches |
| | Western Churches are those that either gravitate around Rome or broke away from her at the Reformation. | | | A further schism was indeed caused by the Monothelite heresy in the seventh century, but the whole of the Church then formed (the Maronite Church) has been for many centuries reunited with Rome. | | | The schism was quite manifest in 552, when the primate, Abraham I, excommunicated the Church of Georgia and all others who accepted the decrees of Chalcedon. |

| | Great Schism |
| | In 1870 the Roman Catholic Church, at the Vatican Council, declared that infallibility (the inability to err in teaching the revealed truth) was attached to the definition of the Pope in matters of faith and morals, apart from the consent of the Church. | | | 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 "Conscience of the Church" is its supreme authority and the infallible guidance to proclaim the truth of Salvation, as was the case for centuries for the Western Church, too. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | To put this as plainly as possible: if the sacraments of the church were rendered invalid by the Schism, no Christian, pursuing pilgrimage or not, could be hopeful of salvation until unity was restored to the church. |

| | 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. | | | The Western Church proved itself to be primarily a fightingly active Church. | | | The Western Church saw itself as the Kingdom of God upon the earth, beginning with St Augustine. |

| | HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH* |
| | 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. | | | It followed the ideas of Gerson and Langenstein, namely, that the Church is the Church even without the presence of a pope, and that an oecumenical council is legitimate which meets not only in the absence of his assent but in the face of his protest. | | | 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. |

| | HTC: The "Western Rite": Is It Right for the Orthodox? |
| | Furthermore - so we are told - these "western rite" communiti es represent a return to the Orthodox Church of the authentic, pre-schismatic Orthodox worship of the ancient Christian west and therefore enhances her catholicity and appeal to all people. | | | Not only will the structure of the worship in a "western rite" parish be unfamiliar, but the very method of receiving the sacrament of communion will be di fferent, so that even though technically in communion, visitors from established Orthodox traditions will be discouraged from receiving the holy mysteries. | | | Perhaps the plight of "western rite" Orthodox Christians is best understood by looking at the actual structure of an Orthodox Church, where the western part of the building is called the narthex. |

| | 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. | | | The Western Church, devoted as it was to the acts of the Council of Chalcedon, could not bring itself to accept the decrees, even though the Pope had accepted them. | | | Augustine, bishop of Hippo in Roman Africa from 396 to 430 and the dominant personality of the Western Church of his time, is generally recognised as having been the greatest thinker of Christian antiquity. |

| | Encyclopedia: The Conciliar Movement |
| | Having tried numerous other ways of ending the schism, all of them sabotaged by one or the other recalcitrant pope, it gradually became clear to a wide variety of leaders that a General Council was the only possible option for restoring the peace of the Church. | | | Based upon conciliarism proper, the Conciliar Movement per se was a fifteenth century series of General Councils (of the West) designed to secure the reform of the Church "in head and members" (in capitis et membris). | | | Conciliarism proper, the theory that the supreme judicial organ of the Church of Jesus Christ is the General Council (of the whole Church, East and West), is a very old ecclesiological theory in Christendom, advocated by as many notable figures as the other great Western theory, papalism. |

| | For example, Western pilgrims to the Holy Land were still given Holy Communion by the Greek clergy at the holy places. | | | Western trends in methodology and terminology affected the Church’s manner of teaching, often to Orthodoxy’s detriment, and throughout this era there was no Western liturgy in Orthodoxy, nor any beachhead of Orthodox faithful in Western lands. | | | Western trends most often affected not the dogmas of the Eastern Church but the style in which they were presented. |

| | Is Sedevacantism Catholic? Part 1 |
| | During the Great Western Schism, the Church was the world power in that the Church controlled, more than anyone else, the countries of the world. | | | So we see in the times of the Great Western Schism very bad churchmen in high places who very much scandalized the Church then, and who are scandalous to us poor souls today who try to read the historical accounts. | | | The position of sedevacantism (that of believing that the chair of Peter is vacant even though the Church Militant doesn’t know it) could be found as an example in history just before and during the Great Western Schism, which illustrates the fruit of sedevacantism. |

| | Filioque - OrthodoxWiki |
| | While the theology of Aquinas and other Scholastics was dominant in the Western Middle Ages, for all its apparent clarity and brilliance, it remains theology, not official Roman Catholic Church teaching. | | | Since the general consensus of the Fathers was held to be reliable, as a witness to common faith, the Western usage was held not to be a heresy and not a barrier to restoration of full communion. | | | Filioque is a Latin word meaning "and the Son" which was added to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed by the Church of Rome in the 11th century, one of the major factors leading to the Great Schism between East and West. |

| | In the meantime, we can subject our opinions about the present state of the Church, or who we think does or does not speak for the Church, to the goal we all acknowledge and with the charity as is incumbent upon us all. | | | The Pope is therefore that principle of unity that has held the Church together all these thousands of years while all others have fragmented and ultimately disintegrated and disappeared. | | | It is this that healed the First Great Western Schism and this that will one day heal this Second Great Western Schism. |

| | One of the university's chief concerns was the Western Schism (1378-1417), in which rival popes claimed legitimacy. | | | The Conciliarists argued that a general council of the Church is superior to the pope and that therefore a general council could end the schism by choosing a new pope satisfactory to all parties. | | | For D'Ailly's actions at Constance and some documents of the event see Louise Ropes Loomis, The Council of Constance: The Unification of the Church (1961). |

| | The Western Schism-Tucoxi's Playground |
| | The curious thing about this schism was that the books my sister has on the Catholic church and its history (even though we are baptist) hardly say anything about this rift in the church that lasted for over a century. | | | I was flipping through a book of my sister's when I came across an index of 'antipopes.' I went to the first page and it spoke very briefly about a time when the pope resided in Avignon, France. | | | This break in the church reflected current political affiliations, as some countries hailed the Avignon pope and others restarted the Roman papacy and followed him. |
