1378 to 1417 Western Schism AkA Papal Schism (1 jan 1378 ano – 1 jan 1417 ano)

Descrição:

The Schism of 1378, was a split within the Catholic Church lasting from 1378 to 1417 in which two men (by 1410 three) simultaneously claimed to be the true pope, and each excommunicated one another.
Driven by authoritative politics rather than any theological disagreement, the schism was ended by the Council of Constance (1414–1418).
For a time these rival claims to the papal throne damaged the reputation of the office.
