Finally, in the latter half of the eleventh century came the permanent separation, and after that time, although many efforts were made to heal the schism, the G...reek Church and the Latin Church continued as independent bodies. The situation of the Roman Church in a city that was at the same time the largest and most important of the West and the seat of the imperial government was of great value in extending its influence and estabhshing its supremacy. It was regarded as an authority by the churches throughout the West, since most of them had been founded as missions from Rome and looked to the mother church for guidance and direction.
