Great Schism

The term Great Schism refers to either of two splits in the history of Christianity:

Most commonly, it refers to the great East-West Schism, the event that separated Eastern Orthodoxy and Western Roman Catholicism in the eleventh century (1054).
In the second schism within the Catholic Church, the Western Schism in the fourteenth century (1378), three (claimant) popes were elected at the same time.
