What is the difference between the Roman Catholic Church and Greek/ Eastern Orthodox Church?

Answer 1

The Roman catholic church has a Pope in Rome. The Eastern Orthodox Church has a leader in Istanbul (not Constantinople, so if you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting at Istanbul).

Answer 2

a lot of motives. The Catholic church is seen by the Orthodox to be too legalistic and relies upon too a lot on psychological hypothesis. The Orthodox church is seen by the Catholics to be too mystical and relies upon too a lot on religious practices. Catholic clergymen could no longer be married while jap Orthodox clergymen could marry forward of ordination. The jap Orthodox Church would not have self assurance in purgatory and would not word the Stations of the go. and a lot of different motives.

Answer 3

The Roman catholic church was held by the pope in rome and the greek had thier own leader.

Answer 4

Greek orthodox observe the Jewish feast days and adhere to the fasts and things like that, the Roman Catholics don't. the two have nothing in common as far as rituals go.

Answer 5

Very little! they all pray to Mary and the saints, they are almost identical. Probably the Vatican has far more money though, as they took a lots of treasures from the Jews during the holocaust. Also they have sold indulgences for hundreds of years, they have also cashed in a lot with the imaginary Purgatory! They could wipe out world hunger in a day but still chose to charge for prayers and everything else they do. If you want salvation in the RC church you have to pay for it!

Answer 6

Catholic priests wear red (STOP!). Orthodox priests wear green (GO!).
