Detailed explanation-1: -The Great Schism split the main faction of Christianity into two divisions, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. Today, they remain the two largest denominations of Christianity. On July 16, 1054, Patriarch of Constantinople Michael Cerularius was excommunicated from the Christian church based in Rome, Italy.
Detailed explanation-2: -The church has no central doctrinal or governmental authority analogous to the head of the Catholic Church-the pope-but the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople is recognized by them as primus inter pares ("first among equals").
Detailed explanation-3: -The primary causes of the Schism were disputes over papal authority-the Pope claimed he held authority over the four Eastern Greek-speaking patriarchs, and over the insertion of the filioque clause into the Nicene Creed.
