Factional split (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

schism

(Other definitions for schism that I've seen before include "Splinter group" , "Breach or split in a church" , "(Ecclesiastical) division" , "Breach or division within church" , "Split over doctrinal beliefs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
