jan 1, 1054 - Religious Rivalry Between Christian Churches
Description:
Culture - The eastern and western churches took separate routes after the Byzantine patriarchs and Roman popes disputed their powers. The patriarch and pope both refused to recognize the other church as Christian. The schism between eastern and western churches is still persisting, and after 1054, historians refer to the eastern Christian church as the Eastern Orthodox church and the western church as the Roman Catholic church.Added to timeline:
