The crowning of Charles the Great enrolled the Byzantine King as superfluous, with relations between the East and the West worsening, so that finally, in 1054, the Christian Church would be divided into the Eastern Orthodox Church and  Catholics Church. The Eastern Church broke all ties with the Pope and the Roman Emperor. Namely,  there was a disagreement regarding the authority, who has authority over whom, king or Church.

The correct answer is D.

Christian Church divided into the Eastern Orthodox church and the Catholic Church because of difference in culture and views of authority.

The difference in view of authority and culture between the Christian Church and Eastern Orthodox Church led to the conflict between them. They both wanted to establish their supremacy. On side wanted the supremacy of Pope and the other wanted the supremacy of King. This created a vast bridge between them and worsened the condition even more. The conflict is also termed as the Great schism.


The Great Schism of 1504 was the climax of political and theological differences among the Christian West and East. The noticeable issues of the disagreement were the use of leavened bread by the Eucharist, the possession of the Holy Spirit and the universal jurisdiction of Bishop of Rome.The last emperor of Rome was dethroned in 476 and was then sent to Constantinople that marked the total separation of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church.
