Rome, printemps 1378. La ville est en effervescence. Le dimanche de Pâques, on a couronné un nouveau pape, un Italien, Urbain VI. Les Romains n'ont pas assisté à une élection pontificale depuis... soixante-quinze ans, car les sept derniers papes, tous d'origine française, ont choisi de résider à Avignon. La papauté est-elle de retour dans la Ville éternelle ? C'est oublier les cardinaux, qui supportent mal la manière dont Urbain les traite. Audébut de l'été, ils quittent Rome et désignent un nouveau pape, Clément VII, qui s'installe dans le palais de ses prédécesseurs à Avignon. L'Eglise, désormais, a deux têtes. Le Grand Schisme a commencé. Jusqu'en 1417, deux lignées de pontifes vont s'affronter: à Avignon connue à Rome, ils activent des réseaux diplomatiques complexes pour rallier les puissances européennes, ils guerroient par mercenaires ou par théologiens interposés, ils lèvent. des impôts divers pour remplir des caisses toujours vides. Guerres, chantages, excommunications, alliances et défections aboutissent à des situations extravagantes: on verra ainsi le roi de France décider, en 1398, de soustraire son royaume à toute obédience, un épisode inédit dans l'histoire de la Chrétienté; on encore, en 1409. non plus deux, niais trois papes revendiquer le trône de saint Pierre. Ce livre raconte l'extraordinaire partie d'échecs qui a mis aux prises l'Europe entière, quarante ans durant.

The division of the Church or Schism that took place between 1378 and 1417 had no precedent in Christianity. No conclave since the twelfth century had acted as had those in April and September 1378, electing two concurrent popes. This crisis was neither an issue of the authority claimed by the pope and the Holy Roman Emperor nor an issue of authority and liturgy. The Great Western Schism was unique because it forced upon Christianity a rethinking of the traditional medieval mental frame. It raised question of personality, authority, human fallibility, ecclesiastical jurisdiction and taxation, and in the end responsibility in holding power and authority. This collection presents the broadest range of experiences, center and periphery, clerical and lay, male and female, Christian and Muslim. Theology, including exegesis of Scripture, diplomacy, French literature, reform, art, and finance all receive attention.

Schism (from the Greek 'to split') refers to a group that breaks away from another, usually larger organisation and forms a new organisation. Though the term is typically confined to religious schisms, it can be extended to other kinds of breakaway groups. Because schisms emerge out of controversies, the term has negative connotations. Though they are an important component of many analyses, schisms in general have not been subjected to systematic analysis. This volume provides the first book-length study of religious schisms as a general phenomenon. Some chapters examine specific case studies while others provide surveys of the history of schisms within larger religious traditions, such as Islam and Buddhism. Other chapters are more theoretically focused. Examples are drawn from a wide variety of different traditions and geographical areas, from early Mediterranean Christianity to modern Japanese New Religions, and from the Jehovah's Witnesses to Neo-Pagans.
