dec 24, 1053 - Great Schism

Description:

An official break between the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox churches, which lasts to the present day. The mutual excommunications issued by Pope Leo IX and Patriarch Michael I Cerularius crystallized the division, creating two distinct branches of Christianity. This schism was the result of long-standing theological and political differences and had a profound impact on the Christian world.
