This event is also known as the East-West Schism. It occurred in 1054. This hastened the separation between Eastern Christian churches and the Western Church. It divided Christianity which created Western Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy.
The 4-6th century initiated the Great Schism , the first points were in the writings of Augustine of Hippo in his writing De Trinitate. In this document, Augustine experimented a trinitarian analogy of the human mind as a lover, beloved and love itself.. His references to the son as a direct line with the Holy Spirit in that the Eastern church only recognized the Father from the Holy Spirit. Later the phrase "and the Son" was added to the Nicene Creed which yet again sparked controversy between the East and the west.
What Happened?
701: Council of Constantinople is rejected by the West, but eventually accepted by Pope John VII
725: Iconoclastic controversy breaks out in East
736: Pope Gregory III excommunicates the Iconoclasts
751: Peppin, the father of Charlemagn, asks Pope Zacharias to rule on "whether it was just for one to reign and another to rule."
753-754 :Pope Stephen II crossed alps to ask Peppin for support against the Lombards.
787:Seventh Ecumenical Council (Nicea II): Dogma of the veneration of icons.
Byzantine iconooclasm became a major source of conflict between both the Eastern and Western parts of the Church. There were increased tensions about the pictorial representation of Christ, Christian Saints, and biblical scenes. Judaism and Islam faced similar tensions and prohibitions. Empress Irene called for an Ecumentcal Cocuncil. 300 bishops adopted the Pope's teachings.
The 9th century had a prfound impact on the Great Schism in that some major traditions in todays catholicism were addressed. For instance the Eucharist was first addressed in 1831 when Radertus posed his first writings regarding the Eucharist and the concept of transubstantiation. In addition there was conflict with the Pope and Rome regarding spiritual jurisdiction and other doctrines.
What happened during this time?
Through these events there was alot of division between the two churches. There were many excommunications and new information added to the church that was agasints the beliefs of the Eastern church. Finally during this time the Crusades were very heavy creating more rivals within the church. Finally at the end of the 12th century the Patriarch of Antioch denies communion to the Latins.
In this time period the two churches reached their final attempts for reconciliation . Failed reunion between the nations caused a final rift and the people were still trying to recover from the crusades and the new additions to the Catholic church.
This was after the Great Schism were the Western Church experienced new division. It was a time where the flaws of corruption in the Catholic church were exposed. In addition this was a huge time where people were speaking their mind and amending what tradition said to do what they believe is correct practice.
