    The East-West Schism (split) of the Catholic Church was caused by cultural, geographical, and political differences. The beginnings of the schism dates back to as early as the division of the Roman Empire in A.D. 375 by Emperor Theodosius. He divided the empire into the Eastern and Western Roman Empires and moved the capital city from Rome to Constantinople (present-day Istanbul, Turkey). As a result of this division, an informal split within the Catholic Church took place leading to the formation of an Eastern Church in Constantinople and a Western Church in Rome.
