I mad be wrong of course, bit wasn't the shism wjere we got the roman and the orthodoxy because they couldn't agree on the trinity?
HISTORY/THEOLOGIE IN LESSON!
The first schism of christianity was in 70 CE threw the great temple destruction in jerusalem. That also clearly split christianity from judeism and that btw is also why christians are the only abrahamic religion that allows eating of pork. Resulting into paulician christians, gnostic christians and jewish christians who kept lots of jewish customs. Gnostics belief that the spiritual is all that matters and all material is created by the devil and pure evil. Paulicians heavily emphisise jesus' earthly presence and being human. Gnostics downplayed it.
Then was the schism at the council of Nicaea in 323 CE was about the essence of spirituality, holy spirit jesus and god all being one essence and co-eternal or 3 seperate entities with only god being eternal. This is the thing you are thinking about.
In 431 at the council of ephesus the roman parts of the faith split from the "nestorians" on the grounds of nestorians putting too much emphisis on the distinction between jesus' divinity and humanity.
The great split of 451 CE at the council of chalcedon split the "oriental orthodox church" (coptics like in etheopia) was about the nature of jesus. Was jesus one, human and divine (this is oriental orthodox), or one person but had two natures.
But the great schism of 1054 was about politics, spiritual doctrine authority, ritual doctrine, whether the holy spirit was only from god or from jesus and god together and so much more. The bread thing is in ritual doctrine. Yeast bread by the orthodox is symbolising jesus' dead body rising from the dead. While the catholics bread prepresents the dead body and the wine the blood bleeding out the wounds. Its consumed to have jesus inside you and to remember his death.
That, the relationship to mysticism, giving sermons in Greek instead of Latin, translation disagreements with the bible
It was a few things, but I also want to believe it was the bread.
Also I was raised by Catholics but in hindsight the eastern Orthodox seems much more based and I say they were in the right
Though there is not one orthodox church
