12 February Leo IX Papa Leo Nonus, Bruno, Count of Alsace 5 On July 16, 1054,
1049 - 19 April Saint Leo Episcopus Romanus Dagsbourg legates sent by Pope
1054 Leo IX to the
Byzantine capital
excommunicated the
Patriarch of
Constantinople
Michael I Cerularius,
who promptly
reciprocated.
Centuries of disputes
over such matters as
Primacy of the
Roman Pontiff, the
ecclesiastical
calendar, the use of
leavened or
unleavened bread,
and additions to the
Creed (notably the
filioque clause)
reached their nadir on
 that date. Although
the
excommunications
were originally
intended to be of an
individual nature, the
break in communion
spread to the broader
church as sides were
chosen; the East-West
schism still exists
today.
