Although the Churches as a whole experienced no major divisions in following centuries, the Eastern and Western groups reached a point of disagreement, the patriarchs of both families excommunicated each other in 1054, a fact which is historically known as the Schism and West.
Anglicanism, for example, has never been fully identified as Protestant, even from the appearance of Oxford Movement in nineteenth century, led by John Henry Newman, Anglican writers were prompted to define more clearly the Catholic involvement of its churches, characterizing the Anglicanism then as an average, Protestant and Catholic pathway simultaneously.
Catholicism is a deeply hierarchical faith in which there is always a supreme authority for matters of faith and Christian practice to Roman Catholicism that is exclusive domain of Pope, to other Catholic tradition persists instead of giving this authority to episcopal councils. The centerpiece of Protestant tradition however is its adherence to principle of Sola Scriptura, on the one supreme authority for matters of faith and Christian practice would be the Holy Scriptures of Old and New Testaments, outside this point, Protestantism presents no uniform way of organizing the faithful, on the contrary, has a long tradition of consecutive divisions.
Many centuries after the Great Schism, Western Christianity (who called himself Catholic) experienced a series of geographically isolated reform movements that preceded the onset of Protestant Reformation. For example, in Italy, during the twelfth century, Peter Waldo brought together a group of followers known as the Waldenses, such a move was later absorbed by modern Protestant reformers.
Some current or past groups formally ceased to exist with the passing years. This applies, for example, the Gnostics (who sustained a dualistic model of deity), the Ebionites (who denied the divinity of Christ), the Apolinarios (who argued that Jesus was divine human body and mind), the Montanists (which proclaimed a new revelation granted tom). And the Arians (who argued that Jesus was a created being, so do not co-eternal with God the Father, the Arians, for some time, were more numerous in institutional Churches that non-Arians). Many ofse primitive groups, today considered heretical died for lack of followers or, in general, suppressed by institutionalized Churches in its early centuries developed a great effort to unify and define clearly what was not Christian doctrine.
The degree of mutual acceptance between different denominations, churches and Protestant movements is diverse, but tends to increase with the emergence of Christian ecumenical movements during the twentieth century and multilateral organizations like the World Council of Churches. Protestant theology for each denomination is generally defined by bodies themselves down and synthesized inir respective Statements of Faith.
Written originally as a series of complaints to encourage reform of Western Churches, not even remotely intended to achieve the effect they achieved, the texts of Luther, combined with the work of Swiss theologian Ulrich Zwingli and French theologian John Calvin, led to breakdown of European Catholic Christianity and founded what has become probably the second largest branch of modern Christianity (after Roman Catholicism), the so-called Protestantism.
After Schism of East and West, Eastern patriarchal primacy of Patriarch of Constantinople passed, however, each participant Churches Eastern Orthodoxy is autocephalous, and is therefore accountable only to itself by organizational issues and practice while corresponds to Patriarch of Constantinople protect the faith and doctrine. The Patriarch of Constantinople (renamed the city after Istanbul in modern Turkey) is also known as Ecumenical Patriarch, and holds a place of honor among the bishops as Primus inter pares. Along with the four oldest churches, there are other ten or less organized churches according to national borders (there is controversy regarding the fifteenth Churches, Orthodox Churches in America which is not recognized as autocephalous).
