The Great Schism, otherwise know as the Schism of the West was not strictly a schism at all but a conflict between the two parties within the Church each claiming to support the true pope. Three months after the election of Urban VI, in 1378, the fifteen electing cardinals declared that they had appointed him only as a temporary vicar and that in any case the election was invalid as made under fear of violence from the Roman mob. Urban retorted by naming twenty-eight new cardinals, and the others at once proceeded to elect Cardinal Robert of Geneva as Pope Clement VII, who went to reside at Avignon. The quarrel was in its origin not a theological or religious one, but was caused by the ambition and jealousy of French influence, which was supported to some extent for political reasons by Spain, Naples, Provence, and Scotland; England, Germany, Scandinavia, Wales, Ireland, Portugal, Flanders and Hungary stood by what they believe to be the true pope at Rome. The Church was torn from top to bottom by the schism, both sides in good faith (it was impossible to know to whom allegiance was due), which lasted with its two lines of popes (and at one time three) till the election of Martin V in 1417. It is now regarded as practically certain that the Urbanist popes were the true ones and their names are included in semi-official lists; moreover, the ordinal numbers of the Clementine claimants (who, however, are not called anti-popes,) were adopted by subsequent popes of the same name.

What happens if you revolted against the Catholic Church in the 1300s?
John Wycliffe spoke against the church, but died as a priest of the Catholic Church. He was declared a heretic after death. His body was exhumed and burned. John Huss was a notorious heretic who led many astray. He was excommunicated, when that had no effect, the area he was preaching in was placed under interdict, which still didn't stop him. He had recanted, then reversed his decision. After this went on for a while, he was tried by the Church and found guilty on all counts. He was stripped of his priesthood and handed over to the secular authorities, who burned him at the stake. One of the problems at the time was the secular government found heresy to be treasonous, and thus, THEY burned heretics - not the Church.
