I took Thebes quiz

The correct answer is B. The Church was permanently weakened.

Explanation:

The Great Schism took place in 1054 and it was the break of what is today  the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Catholic Churches. Both endured until the 11th century.

The Schism is considered as the end of the differences in terms of politics and religion which occurred at that time especially between the Christian East and West.

Also, there were other theological and ecclesiastical differences between  the Greek East and Latin West before The Great Schism appeared.
