The Great Schism of 1054 resulted in the formal division between the Roman Catholic Church in the West and the Eastern Orthodox Church in the East. Key issues leading to the schism included disputes over papal authority, differences in theological beliefs, and cultural divergences. This split fundamentally shaped the religious landscape of Christianity, leading to distinct practices and doctrines that persist to this day. The schism also contributed to political tensions between Western and Eastern Europe.
