The '''Great Schism of 1615''', also known as the '''Great Schism''', the '''Caphiric Schism''', and the '''Great Occidental Schism''', was a split within the [[Levantine Catholic Church]] lasting from 1615 to 2017 in which the [[Caphiric Church|Caphiric Catholic Church]] broke away from the authority of the [[Pope]] and the [[Catholic Church]]. The schism was the culmination of theological and political differences developed during the preceding centuries between the wider Catholic community and Caphiria and the Imperators who sought to take advantage of the emerging [[Great Confessional War|Protestant Revolt]] in the early 16th century. These events were part of the wider Occidental Reformation, a religious and political movement that affected the practice of Christianity in the Occidental world.

During the late 15th century, the relationship between the Imperators of Caphiria and the papal authority began to decline. The Church became dependent on the tithes and prestige of the Caphiric Church, mainly as it dealt with [[The Anarchy]]. The power dynamic began to shift in Caphiria's favor, who took advantage of ecclesiastical division and the Pope's focus on crushing Protestantism to increase imperial authority.  On 11 December 1615, Pius XII took the title ''pontifex maximus'' by acclimation of Caphirian bishops and formally broke communion with the Catholic Church.
