  1. great schism

    The Great Schism refers to the significant division within a religion, specifically the split of the Roman Catholic Church into the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Western Catholic Church in 1054. Also known as the East–West Schism, it resulted from differences in language, politics, culture and liturgical practices along with doctrinal issues. This divide still exists today. In a broader context, the term "Great Schism" could refer to any severe and long-lasting disagreement or division within a particular group, organization, or belief system. Please note: There's also a Western Schism (also called Papal Schism) occurred in the Catholic Church from 1378 to 1417. This often causes confusion but it's a different historical event.
