The great schism resulted most directly from what?

Answer 1

The great schism, also known as the East-West Schism, resulted most directly from the ongoing conflicts and disagreements between the Western (Roman Catholic) and Eastern (Eastern Orthodox) branches of Christianity. The primary cause of the schism was the theological and jurisdictional disputes between the Patriarch of Constantinople and the Pope of Rome, as well as disagreements over the authority of the Pope, the Filioque controversy, and cultural differences between the East and West. Ultimately, these tensions culminated in the mutual excommunication of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the Pope in 1054, officially dividing the Christian Church into two separate entities.
