Explanation

The Acacian Schism (484-519 AD) was the first significant break between the eastern and western branches of the Christian Church, caused by the Henotikon decree and Pope Felix III excommunicating Patriarch Acacius. The Eastern Schism (Great Schism) occurred much later in 1054. Monophysitism was a theological controversy, not the name of this specific schism.
