The Branch Theory

Is there a difference between history and fiction?

What was the origin of the schism between the Orthodox Eastern Church and Rome?
On the death of Methodius the Pope of Constantinople, in 842,
all the Orthodox Eastern Churches were in communion with Rome.
Ignatius, the son of the deposed Emperor, Michael I, succeeded him,
and his election was confirmed by Pope Gregory IV (827-844).
The Empress Theodora retired in 856, and her brother Bardas ruled as regent
over the Byzantine Empire in the place of her profligate son,
Michael the Drunkard (842-867).
They deposed Ignatius because he refused to give communion to Bardas,
who was living in open incest with his daughter-in-law,
and because he refused to put her in a nunnery against her will.
The scholarly but unscruplous Secretary of State, Photius, was hurried through
all necessary orders in six days contrary to the cannon law, and
then consecrated Pope of Constantinople by the excommunicated
Archbishop of Syracuse, Gregory.(The Orthodox Eastern Church by Mourret, 1894)
