Western Christianity
Western Christianity refers to the branch of Christianity that developed in Western Europe and the Americas, following the Great Schism of 1054 that divided the Christian Church into the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. It encompasses various denominations, including Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, and Anglicanism, among others. Western Christianity is characterized by its emphasis on the authority of the Bible, the Trinity, the divinity of Jesus Christ, and the sacraments. It has played a significant role in shaping Western culture and society, influencing art, music, literature, and politics throughout history.
