    effects of the great schism in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches:

    The schism produced a mutual separation and excommunication between the supreme hierarch of the Roman Catholic Church located in Rome, being the Pope or Roman bishop (along with the Christians of the West), and the hierarchs of the Orthodox Church (together with Eastern Christendom). Especially the main one, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. Since the schism there are several autonomous Orthodox churches, the largest being the Russian Orthodox Church with about 150 million parishioners, according to figures from the Church itself. The Orthodox represent the third largest group within Christianity after Catholics and Protestants. The Orthodox reject the authority of the Pope. Unlike the Catholic Church, they do not have one but several hierarchs. Orthodox priests are not bound to celibacy as if Catholic priests are obliged to do so; Orthodox can get married before being ordained. Except for the Orthodox bishops who must remain alone.
