After the Schism, what language was used for Christian services in the Western Roman Empire?
A
Greek
B
German
C
Persian
D
Latin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The international use of Greek was one condition that enabled the spread of Christianity, as indicated for example by the choice of Greek as the language of the New Testament in the Bible and its use for the ecumenical councils of the Christian Roman Empire rather than Latin.

Detailed explanation-2: -The main language in the West was Latin but the main language in the East was Greek. The number of people who spoke both languages decreased as did communication between the two halves. As a result of these differences, the two parts of the Church began to separate.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Ecclesiastical Latin, also called Church Latin or Liturgical Latin, is a form of Latin developed to discuss Christian thought in Late Antiquity and used in Christian liturgy, theology, and church administration down to the present day, especially in the Catholic Church.
