Detailed explanation-1: -Which of these remained true following the Great Schism? Western Christians accepted the authority of the pope in Rome. How did Christianity spread through western and central Europe during the early Middle Ages?
Detailed explanation-2: -An attempt to return the papacy to Rome was followed by schism as two rival popes were elected by the cardinals, Urban VI by the Roman faction and Clement VII by the French faction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Political jealousies and interests intensified the disputes, and, at last, after many premonitory symptoms, the final break came in 1054, when Pope Leo IX struck at Michael Cerularius and his followers with an excommunication and the patriarch retaliated with a similar excommunication.
