If students today were to do a quick search on the “Great Western Schism,” they would no doubt start with Google, which would lead them to Wikipedia, the old and new Catholic Encyclopedia, and maybe Philippe Levillain’s The Papacy: An Encyclopedia. From Wikipedia, a student will learn that the Schism was a split within the Catholic Church with up to three men claiming to be popes, that it was driven by “authoritative politics” rather than theology, and that it ended with a council. It is called an “affair,” and it damaged the papacy. While the article keeps being updated, it remains ensconced in the century-old historiography of the Catholic Encyclopedia.
