The major difference that led to the schism between the Eastern and Western churches was their disagreement about the supremacy of the Pope. The Eastern Orthodox Church did not recognize the Pope as the supreme authority in the church and rejected the doctrine of papal supremacy. On the other hand, the Western or Roman Catholic Church believed in the authority of the Pope as the successor of Saint Peter and the head of the church. This difference in the understanding of ecclesiastical authority and the role of the Pope eventually led to the schism in 1054.
