The Great Schism: 600 - 1450 Regional and interregional interactions

The Great Schism, also known as the East-West Schism, was a time period that began in 600 C.E and lasted until 1450 C.E. during which regional and interregional interactions between the Catholic Church in the West and the Orthodox Church in the East were strained.

The primary cause of the Great Schism was a dispute over the authority of the Pope of Rome over the Eastern Orthodox Church.

The Eastern Orthodox Church argued that the Pope was not the final authority on all matters of faith while the Catholic Church argued that the Pope was the sole authority on all matters of faith.

This disagreement led to a break in the relationship between the two churches, which was further exacerbated by political, cultural, and linguistic differences.

One of the most significant effects of the schism was the emergence of two distinct branches of Christianity, the Roman Catholic Church in the West and the Eastern Orthodox Church in the East.

The Great Schism also had a major impact on regional and interregional interactions in the world at the time.

For example, the schism affected trade between the West and the East, as well as diplomatic relations
