when did the orthodox and catholic church split?
1054
various churches which split off from the catholic church make the same claim of apostolic succession, including the church of the east (split in 424), the oriental orthodoxy (split in 451) and the eastern orthodox church (split with the east–west schism of 1054). during the protestant reformation, martin luther and william tyndale advocated the priesthood of all believers, the idea that all baptized christians are priests. this was not universally accepted, contributing to the schism of various protestant churches. the doctrine is interpreted in various ways by different protestant denominations, with some dropping apostolic succession and holy orders as a sacrament, and different requirements for who can perform the eucharist ceremony. through the principle of church economy, the catholic church recognizes as valid the ordination of priests in denominations with unbroken apostolic succession, such as in the eastern orthodox church, polish national catholic church, oriental orthodox church, the assyrian church of the east, church of sweden, and evangelical lutheran church of finland, but not other lutheran churches. recognition of the ordination of anglican church priests was denied in 1896 by pope leo xiii through the papal bull "apostolicae curae", over a dispute in the wording of the anglican ceremony starting in the 1500s.
