Events
Cardinal Humbertus, a representative of
Pope Leo IX
, and
Michael Cerularius
, Patriarch of
Constantinople
, decree each other's
excommunication
. Some historians look to this act as initiating the
Great Schism
between the
Roman Catholic
and
Orthodox Christian
Churches
. To this day each claims to be the
One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church
and each denies the other's right to that name. However, at the time of the excommunication, the Pope was dead; therefore, Cardinal Humbertus' act had no legal force. Moreover, individuals were excommunicated, not entire Churches.
