Organization Backstory (Min. of 150+ Words): The Church at Rome, which would later develop into what we know as Roman Catholicism, was started in the apostolic times. Although we do not have records of the first Christian missionaries to Rome. The Church was split in two by the Great Schism of 1054, dividing Christians between the western, Latin-speaking Roman Catholic Church and the eastern, Greek-speaking Eastern Orthodox Church. This schism was precipitated over two main doctrinal disagreements. One was obviously the role and authority of the Pope. The other was the filioque clause of the Nicene Creed. The western Catholics believe that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son while the Eastern Orthodox believe that the Holy Spirit proceeds only from the Father. The Roman Catholic Church experienced another rupture about five hundred years later during the Reformations. The Protestant reformers and the Radical Reformers disagreed with the Pope and his allies over issues of authority, Scripture, soteriology, and sacramental theology. At the time, Protestants also fought to translate the liturgy and the Bible into the language of the people, while the Roman Catholic leadership maintained that both should remain in Latin.
