Great Schism

Today's date is 1054 AD and it was my honor to have Q and A with Pope Leo IX.

Q- What are some of the differences between the West Church and the East Church?

A- We speak Latin, and the Western Church speaks Greek. Here the priest could marry a woman, but in the West they can't have a wife. And finally the west is a Patriarch, while the east is a Papal Supremacy.

Q- What is the Great Schism?

A- In 1054 the Byzantine Patriarch and myself called out each other and each others churches, and after that the Churches split. The Western becoming an Orthodox church, and the Eat becoming a Roman Catholic.

Q- Why is this important?

A- This is really important because it created to separate churches between the West and the East.
