1 févr. 1378 - Western Schism begins

Description:

The Western Schism, a split within the Catholic Church, began in 1378 when two, and later three, men simultaneously claimed to be the true pope. This division weakened the authority of the Papacy and led to political and religious conflicts across Europe. The schism persisted until 1417, when the Council of Constance resolved the issue by electing a new pope. The Western Schism highlighted the need for church reform and contributed to the growing discontent that would later culminate in the Protestant Reformation.
