The correct answer is A. The Great Schism or the East-West Schism represented the final separation between the Eastern Christian churches (whose leader was Michael Cerularius, the patriarch of Constantinople) and the Western one whose leader was Leo IX. There were excommunications that ended in 1965, when Pope Paul VI and Athenagoras I revoked the excommunications decrees.
