Pronunciation: [wˈɛstən t͡ʃˈɜːt͡ʃ] (IPA) 
The phrase "Western Church" refers to a branch of Christianity that developed in the western regions of Europe following the Great Schism of 1054. Some synonyms for the Western Church include the Latin Church, the Roman Catholic Church, and occasionally the Church of Rome. These synonyms all reflect the Roman origins of the Western Church, which came to be centered in Rome after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. Today, the Western Church is distinct from the Eastern Orthodox Church in terms of theology, liturgy, and governance. Despite these differences, both branches of Christianity share a common heritage and remain important institutions in the world today.
