Detailed explanation-1: -The Great Schism came about due to a complex mix of religious disagreements and political conflicts. One of the many religious disagreements between the western (Roman) and eastern (Byzantine) branches of the church had to do with whether or not it was acceptable to use unleavened bread for the sacrament of communion.
Detailed explanation-2: -A schism is a formal break within the church, usually due to disputes over Catholic teaching. “There have been many schisms in the Church, ‘’ Francis said, referring to the institution’s long history of religious disputes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Western Schism, or Papal Schism, was a split within the Roman Catholic Church that lasted from 1378 to 1417.
