wow, you're not reading at all… LOL

Answer 2

The split of the Christian Church in Rome made the Catholic and the Eastern Orthodoxy. This split happened because of rising tensions in the religion. Rome was the center of Christianity, but the Byzantine empire had the wealth. The Catholics wanted manmade things and the Orthodoxies wanted different manmade things too, but they both agreed on JC, the Bible, and the Gospels.

Answer 3

The division of the church between East and West is rooted deep in church history. First of all, early on leaders noticed the difference and discrepancies that language brought. The Eastern Church spoke and wrote Greek, while the West began to speak and write in Latin. This was perhaps the first sign that there was division within the church. Several additional developments enhanced the linguistic and geographical separation. First, when Pepin made his donation of land in central Italy to the papacy in 756, he caused the pope to fix his attention more to the West and basically ignore the East. The pope was now the largest landholder in Italy, with an annual income of over one million dollars, and a recognized secular as well as religious leader. Second, Pepin’s son, Charlemagne, came to Rome and on Christmas Day, 800, was formally crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III. This act symbolized the division of East and West.
