Acacian schism

Years: 484 - 519

The Acacian schism between the Eastern and Western Christian Churches lasts thirty-five years, from 484–519.

It results from a drift in the leaders of Eastern Christianity toward Monophysitism, and Emperor Zeno's unsuccessful attempt to reconcile the parties with the Henotikon.

"He who does not know how to give himself an account of three thousand years may remain in the dark, inexperienced, and live from day to day."

― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, West-Eastern Divan
