On July 16, 1054, legates sent by Pope 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.

15

The last pope to be crowned with the Papal Tiara. Concluded Second Vatican Council. In 1965, the specific anathemas and excommunications resulting in the EastWest schism of 1054 (see Pope Leo IX) were lifted through the "embrace of peace" and declaration of reconciliation by Patriarch Athenagoras I of Constantinople and Pope Paul VI. In spite of the lifting of this historical obstacle, the actual break in communion between the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church still exists, However, a serious dialogue on reconciliation between the two churches has taken place over the past four decades.
