Sample question
In what year did the East-West "Great Schism" formally divide Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christianity?
"Now I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment."1 Corinthians 1:10
In 1054 the legates of Pope Leo IX and Patriarch Michael Cerularius exchanged mutual excommunications in Hagia Sophia, formalising centuries of drift over the Filioque clause, papal authority, and liturgy. The two communions remain separate to this day, though the 1965 mutual lifting of those excommunications by Paul VI and Athenagoras began a long thaw.
