Hello there, to answer your question...

There were many key factors that added to the Great Schism such as...

  • the eastern and western churches spoke different languages.
  • the separation of the Roman Empire into two empires features prominently,
  • the immediate reason for the division of the church was that the patriarch of Constantinople and the patriarch of Rome decided to excommunicate one another.

I hope this helps. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

July 16, 1054, Patriarch of Constantinople Michael Cerularius was excommunicated, starting the “Great Schism” that created the two largest denominations in Christianity (the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox faiths).
