====Great Schism of 1615====

The culmination of theological and political differences between the Christian north and south was the Great Schism of 1615, where a break of communion between what is now the Levantine Catholic Church and the Imperial Church of Caphiria occurred. Over the previous centuries, during the Dominate era, the role of religion was under heavy scrutiny and skepticism. Ecclesiastical papers began being published condemning the Catholic Church over several issues in the late 16th century, with the Catholic Church producing propaganda blaming Caphiria's rise of imperialism and wicked ways. The Latin Christian community was being split along doctrinal, theological, linguistic, political, and geographical lines, with each side sometimes accusing the other of having fallen into heresy and of having initiated the division. In 1615, the formal break occurred when Imperator Pius XII formally announced that the Basilicæ Magni, the cathedral and home of the Caphirian Church, would be breaking communion to form the Caphiric Catholic Church. This led to combining the secular and religious authorities and a new form of government, the caesaropapacy. The caesaropapacy meant emperors were regarded as more excellent than other mortals, though not quite as deities in their own right, further playing into the concept of princeps. For many years, pro-Catholic factions continued to challenge the leadership of the new Caphiric Church. These factions, and the people that supported the Catholic Church still, were known as Traditionalists and were heavily persecuted and executed under heresy laws. This period is known as the Months of Bloody Sundays as it was common practice for the Imperator to simply execute any people who were not coming to church in protest. Traditionalists were executed under legislation that punished anyone judged guilty of heresy against the Caphiric Church. Ultimately, the Caphiric Church went through a series of reformations (The Reformations of 1627), and the church was renamed the Caphiric Catholic Church. There were only a handful of modifications, namely that the Imperator of Caphiria was given many ecclesiastical titles: Episcopus Caphiria ("Bishop of Caphiria"), Pius Felix ("Pious and Blessed"), Santissimus Pater ("Most Holy Father"), Vicarius Christi ("Vicar of God") and was named Pontifex Maximus, giving him the ultimate authority of presiding over the Imperial Church. This was codified in the Constitution of Caphiria and constitutionally established the Imperial Church by the state with the Head of State as its Pope. As time went on, the identity of the marriage of the Imperatorship with the papacy became less clear. Eventually, the emperor became recognized more for his legal authority than his religious one.
