![Page 21: Byzantine Empire and Russia 300-1000 AD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/568139bc550346895da16071/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Great Schism
• The Cultural and political differences between the eastern and western Roman Empire weakened the unity of the Christian Church and led to its division.
• The primary causes of the Schism, or break of the Christian Church, were disputes over papal authority— the Western Pope claimed he held authority over the four Eastern patriarchs.
![Page 22: Byzantine Empire and Russia 300-1000 AD](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/568139bc550346895da16071/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• The Orthodox Patriarch stated that the Bishop of Rome (i.e. The Pope) has authority only over his own diocese and does not have any authority outside his diocese.
• In 1054 each official (the Pope and the Patriarch) excommunicated each other.
• The Christian Church was divided between the Western Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church.
