The Great Schism: A Divided Church

The Great Schism: A Divided Church is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 3: The Great Schism (1054) in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).

Key Concepts

For centuries, Christianity was united under one "universal" church, but cultural and political distances slowly drifted the East and West apart. In 1054, these tensions exploded in an event known as the Great Schism , which permanently split the Christian world into two separate branches: the Roman Catholic Church in the West and the Eastern Orthodox Church in the East.

This split was not just about religion; it was a cultural divorce between the Latin speaking West and the Greek speaking East. The resulting division created two distinct religious hierarchies that would often find themselves in conflict, shaping the history of Europe and the Mediterranean for centuries to come.
