Factional divide (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

schism

(Other definitions for schism that I've seen before include "Split in religious body over differences in beliefs" , "Formal separation of one church into two" , "Division of a group into opposing factions" , "Splinter group" , "Splitting of a Church" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
