First split between east and west christian church?
The first split between the Christian church in the East and the Christian church in the West probably took place during the time of the Byzantine Empire. Some of the issues that caused this split were that the Eastern emperor viewed himself as head of the church as well as ruler of state, and the Pope in the West viewed HIMSELF as head of the church, and a varying opinion over idols. The Westerners had no problem worshipping/praying to idols, because many of them couldn't read, but the Easterners felt that it was wrong to worship an image. Thus, the church split into the Roman Catholics and the Greek Orthodox.

What role did the pope take during Roman Christian times?
A:In early Christian centuries, the pope was simply the bishop of Rome. In fact the term 'pope' was not even used until the second century and may have been a term of respect applied, at first, to all bishops. Constantine became 'pontifex maximus' for the Church in the fourth century, and it was accepted that the emperor made important decisions for the Church as a whole. It was not until later centuries, after the fall of the Roman Empire, that the pope became accepted in the west as pontiff.

There were always other Churches. The Celtic Church, the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches were very early and all predated the Middle Ages. The Celtic Christian Church was absorbed by the Catholic Church, but the others continue. There were also heterodox organizations outside orthodox Christianity, and some of these were declared heretical, in some cases resulting in military operations.

What is Pope Francis and the head of the Protestant church's views on Zionist Israel's blockade on Palestinian Muslims and Christians?
As of April 2013, Pope Francis has not issued anything with regard to this. You are in even greater trouble with the protestants, as there are over 30,000 non-Catholic Christian Churches, and they have no "head". Additionally, there are almost no Christians in the Gaza Strip (due to violent recriminations against them by Hamas militants), as a result, the Christian churches abroad focus much more on the West Bank and Israel where there are Christian populations.
