Rome and Constantinople, 484–519
Schism · 484–519 · communion restored
Rome struck Acacius of Constantinople from the diptychs over the Henotikon, and the two sees were out of communion for thirty-five years. Communion was restored in 519.
Between Bishop of Rome (Pope) and Archbishop of Constantinople (Ecumenical Patriarch). Two seats rather than two bodies — no church was founded by this and none ended. Each excommunicated the other; the record names no departing side.
