The phrase The Great Schism is used to mean two different things:
Catholic and Orthodox Churches Schism
The East-West Schism of 1054 was the separation of the Eastern Orthodox Church and Western ("Roman Catholic") branches of the Christian Church. Which basically created two churches. The "First Among Equals" title was lost by the Roman Pope and given to the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople who is the leader of most of the Orthodox Autocephalous Churches since 1054. Publicly the dispute centered on the Apostles' Creed [1] which was updated into two versions(Eastern vs Western) of the Nicene Creed [2]; the RC Church starting in the 1960s to often use the undisputed Apostles' Creed again. Most Orthodox churches also support the rule that bishops acting together can order a superior bishop/patriarch/pope to retire as form of discipline; this rule was dropped by the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Paul VI and Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras I, in 1965, lifted the mutual excommunications [3] that had been imposed during the Great Schism of 1054, marking a significant step towards reconciliation. However, this act did not restore full communion between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches
Western Schism
The Western Schism (1378-1417) was an argument within the Roman Catholic Church provoked by the French bishops resulting in French cardinals electing an "antipope" (Clement VII of Avignon, France) in order to dispute the authority of the recently elected Pope Urban VI, even though he had been lawfully elected by the majority of the cardinals in the electoral conclave.[4] In 1409, a third antipope (John XXIII) existed in Pisa, Italy.[5] This and other controversies set the stage for the Protestant Reformation.
See Romans 13:1-5 and Hebrews 13:17
Chalcedonian Schism
In 451 AD the Tewahedo Coptic church was formed when the Council of Chalcedon created a dispute over the nature of Christ. The patriarch of Alexandria then became know as the Coptic Pope and patriarch of Alexandria. And Catholic Christian Church(as the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches were known prior to 1054 AD) appointed another patriarch of Alexandria. There are two patriarchs of Alexandria to this day.
No Schism with Indian Church
The Malankara Orthodox Church in India, NEVER has had a Schism with any of the other churches it was just separated by distance, so was always run as an Autocephalous church under the Catholicos of the Apostolic throne of St. Thomas.
