The Great Schism usually refers to the formal separation in 1054 between Roman Catholicism and the Orthodox Church. (There are many points of difference between the two Churches, though both continue to consider themselves Catholic, and both profess their faith on the points of the Nicene Creed).

But the Great Schism may also sometimes refer to the period of the Avignon / Rome pope / antipope controversy. (Crucially this period includes the conflict between Baldassare Cossa and Jan Hus - from which all subsequent Protestantism flows).

And for devotees of the Russian Orthodox church the Great Schism may also refer to the conflict with the Old Believers doctrines.
