What if, instead of there being roughly a line between Catholic and Orthodox territories after the Great Schism, there are little enclaves and enclaves scattered around the Christian world? Like, the schism is about half and half with some rulers even in France and England deciding to go Orthodox, and some little realms near Armenia going Catholic, and the whole mess being a massive clusterhell.

How would this affect East-west relations? What about the Crusades? Any other effects?

I think that overall there would be crackdowns by the most powerful rulers on the dissenters, but who would go to which branch is beyond me.
