when did the eastern and western church split?
451
the latin rite catholic church of western and central europe split with the eastern greek-speaking patriarchates by the christian east–west schism, also known as the "great schism", during the gregorian reforms (calling for a more central status of the roman-catholic church institution), three months after pope leo ix's death in april 1054. following 1054 great schism, both the western church and eastern church continued to consider themselves "uniquely" orthodox and catholic. augustine wrote in on true religion: “religion is to be sought... only among those who are called catholic or orthodox christians, that is, guardians of truth and followers of right.” over time, the western church gradually identified with the "catholic" label, and people of western europe gradually associated the "orthodox" label with the eastern church (although in some languages, the "catholic" label is not necessarily identified with the western church). this was in note of the fact that both catholic and orthodox were in use as ecclesiastical adjectives as early as the 2nd and 4th centuries respectively.
