PRAVOSLAVLJE U ZAPADNOJ EVROPI
Pravoslavni svetitelji Zapadne Evrope koji su kanonizovani pre velikog raskola – Šizme 1054 godine, koja je nastala usled crkvenih novotarija pape i Rimokatoličke crkve
Ruski episkop i srpski djak Sveti Jovan Šangajski je polovinom 20 veka otpočeo obiman posao skupljanja podataka o tome ko su bili Zapadni svetitelji Pravoslavne crkve, odnosno pravoslavni svetitelji Zapadne Evrope i Istočne Evrope pre Velikog raskola, odnosno Šizme, kada se hrišćanska crkva razdvojila. Pravoslavni svetitelji Zapadne Evrope do 11 veka su zajednički za obe crkve i zajedno se proslavljaju, pa imamo slučaj da su neke rimske pape iz prvih vekova hrišćanstva kanonizovani kao pravoslavni svetitelji. jer su se držali pravoslavnog učenja. Nakon Šizme i novotarija koje je Rimokatolička crkva počela da sve više i intezivnije uvodi pravoslavna crkva ne priznaje svetitelje koje je Katolička crkva kasnije kanonizovala, jer je Vatikan izašao iz jedinstva vere istinske pravoslavne crkve.

Veliki raskol ili velika šizma (grč. σχισμα, lat. schisma — raskol, odvajanje, cepanje, deljenje, šizma) je označio kanonsko odvajanje i prekid liturgijske zajednice između Rimokatoličke crkve i Pravoslavne crkve 1054. godine.
Nakon raskola, Crkva je podeljena na Katoličku crkvu sa centrom u Rimu i na Pravoslavnu crkvu sa centrom u Konstantinopolju.
Stvarni raskol počinje odlukama Carigradskog sabora (869.), koji osuđuje carigradskog patrijarha Svetog Fotija. Sam Sveti Fotije saziva Sabor u Carigradu (867), odbacuje odluke sabora i osuđuje papu i njegovo učenje. Istina, Carigradski sabor (879-880) godine, na kojem učestvuju i legati pape Jovana VIII, priznaje Svetog Fotija za patrijarha, osuđuje filiokve (Sveti Fotije je zbacio papu Nikolu I koji je podržavao dodatak filiokve, koji su uneli nemački katolički misionari u Bugarskoj), priznaje jednakost Carigrada sa Rimom, pri čemu Rim ima πρεσβεια.
Godine 1052. patrijarh Mihailo Kerularije zatvara latinske hramove u Carigradu zbog toga što su upotrebljavali beskvasni hleb čija materija nije valjana za evharistiju. Godine 1053, na poziv cara Konstantina Monomaha (1042—1054), papski izaslanici dolaze u Carigrad, no patrijarh Kerularije odbija da ih primi. U toj situaciji vođa delegacije, kardinal Humbert — koga je papa opunomoćio da odgovori Lavu, episkopu Ohridskom, koji beše pripremio spisak latinskih pogrešaka i novotarija — polaže na presto Crkve Svete Sofije „presudu isključenja“ patrijarha. Sa svoje strane, Mihailo Kerularije osuđuje postupak kardinala.
