The major difference between the Eastern and Western churches that led to their schism was the issue of papal authority. The Eastern Church, also known as the Orthodox Church, believed that the authority of the Church should be shared among the five major patriarchs of the Church, while the Western Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, believed that the Pope should have ultimate authority over the Church. This disagreement ultimately led to the Great Schism of 1054, which divided the two churches and created the two distinct branches of Christianity that exist today.
