Western Schism
split within the Catholic Church from 1378 to 1417, in which bishops in Rome and Avignon both claimed to be the pope, joined by a third line of Pisan popes in 1409
The Western Schism was a split between factions of the Roman Catholic Church between 1378 and 1417.[1]
During this period, more than one claimed to be the true pope.[1]
The reasons for the split were mostly political, rather than theological. The Council of Constance (1414–1418) ended the schism when they elected Martin V as the new pope.
