The major difference between the eastern and western churches that led to their schism was the conflict over the authority of the Pope. The Eastern Orthodox Church did not recognize the Pope as the head of the entire church and disagreed with the notion of papal infallibility, while the Western Church, led by the Pope, claimed authority over the entire Christian community. This disagreement over the Pope's authority eventually led to a formal split in 1054, resulting in the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches becoming separate entities.
