Answer:

The two churches split apart permanently.

Step-by-step explanation:

The splitting of the churches in Europe in the 11th century happened when Pope Leo IX came to Constantinople to meet the Eastern patriarch to solve the conflict of religion. Both did not agree on matters and excommunicated each other, which led to the Great Schism (split) of 1054. The Great Schism divided Christianity into two-part known as the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic.
