There actually were conflicts and battles fought, but not directly by the popes. These were fought by the various countries that supported them. Really countries used the fact that since one side supported a different pope, they could justify their choice to go to war and not be excommunicated for fighting one another, as their pope was a "heretic". This schism laid the groundwork (along with the corruption/abuses of power of the papacy in general) for the protestant reformation that came after.

Using medieval style of painting to make this video was one of the best artistic decisions this channel made in a very long time. Adding some Gregorian Chant was also a nice touch!

I took a silence moment just to admire the beauty of the illustration, animation, and the sfx.

I like how they put the execution of Jan Hus at 4:59-5:09. Nice touch, TED-Ed. Nice touch indeed.

The illustrators should be awarded for this! Amazing work of art, history and clever humor. Congratulations

Speaking of medieval Papacy shennanigans, You should also portray the conflict between the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor, and their supporters: Guelphs and Ghibelines.

The style for the animation is so obvious yet wonderfully executed. Love this!

This is gorgeous video. The animators truly deserve a bonus for the magnificant artwork. One thing I think should have been added though, is that the Great Schism corresponded with the Hundred Years War between England and France (England of course, supported Rome, and France Avignon). Though this war did not take on a religious tinge, it did provide an interesting focal point for politics with English allies supporting Rome and France's allies Avignon. Lastly, the video says that this schism did not effect average Catholics. While it is correct that there were no major doctrinal differences, the schism did contribute to a growing apathy towards the Church and rise in popular piety. Amazing video.

This entire episode reads like a Monty Python skit, and I love it

1296? Ironically, in the movie version of Lord of the Rings Bilbo Baggins said that 1296 was a very good year, almost as old as he was at 111. Maybe he meant it was a good year in terms of wine vintage since he was referring to wine in that line. Who knows. lol

the animation is just awesome

one of the best ted animations ever . who did it.

As a devout Catholic, I enjoyed this video. Nicely done. But to be clear, the Catholic Church has always had only one pope at a time as far as the office goes. The others are considered as anti-popes, or in Benedict XIV’s case, he was Pope Emeritus (a title, not the office) upon abdication.

@@ironkraken7157 Yea, but it’s not made up. The fact there is a unbroken chain of successors from Francis to Peter is testament to that. Fake anti popes claiming to be the bishop of Rome does not negate the real chosen successor.

I am from the Castellón Province and I have been more than once to the castle of Pope Benedict XIII, Papa Luna, in Peñíscola; we say of a stubborn person that they "sigue en sus trece;" they stay in their thirteen, after his papal number.

The animation in this video is really fun to watch

"But regardless of how the schism ended, its existence proves that even those who are supposed to be pious are prone to petty power struggles." Truth at the end.

Great animation and a great depiction of nothing like a good old pope fight.

What song are the people playing the recorder playing!? I’ve been looking for it everywhere!!

1:22 love the little "bon appetit"

Love the music choice.

The Raid with Bonifaciis is very from in Italy, especially becasue a noble roman allied with Philp slapped the Pope when he was in his palace in Agnagni. We commonly called those episode as "Slap of Angagni"

That feel when you learned all about this a couple years ago in OverlySarcasticProductions' Pope Fights video.

I have toured the “Palace of the Popes” at Avignon. Avignon also has some interesting old houses of papal “nephews” (sons).

Osp's blue has done several very interesting videos about the dramas with popes throughout the years they are called "pope fights"

There are two competing -standards- popes. -Engineers- Cardinals: "lets create a new -standard- pope to unite everything" There are three competing -standards- popes.
