The Great Schism
In 1054, the Eastern Orthodox Christians split from the Western Roman Catholics.
The groups disagreed on the taking of the sacraments. The Eastern Orthodox Christians also disagreed with the Roman beliefs that
- priests should remain celibate
- that the Roman pope had authority over the head of the Eastern church
The Catholic Church successfully suppressed other potential Christian offshoots by sustained persecution against some labelled heretics and using a new system named inquisitions.
