When and why the division of the Christian Church into catological and Orthodox

When and why the division of the Christian Church into catological and Orthodox took place. Why did the Catalytic Church wield tremendous power in the Middle Ages?

After the division of the Roman Empire into Eastern and Western, each of them has its own church. In the Byzantine state, the church, although it had a great influence, still its power was only spiritual. The country was ruled by an emperor. In the west, things were different. The Western Empire fell under the blows of the barbarians, the Pope also became a secular ruler who ruled over a large territory. Naturally, this increased the power and strength of the Catholic Church. Differences gradually arose and accumulated between the two churches. Controversies arose over spheres of influence. The rivalry intensified. The conflict in southern Italy was very serious.

Neither side wanted to make concessions. The Catholics insisted that the Patriarch of Constantinople recognize the private of the Pope.

In 1054, the Western and Eastern Churches anathematized each other. They were removed only in 1964.
