Philisophically, it's the trinity. The Greeks, having a long standing tradition of multiple Gods, never bought into the Son, The Father, and the Holy Spirit as being all in the same.

The Greek and different Orthodox church homes broke remote from the Catholic church homes interior the early years of Christianity. One important distinction is that maximum Orthodox church homes do no longer require celibacy of their clergymen. The Evangelical Christians are, for the main section, Protestants. Protestants are the gang call for each and all the fragments from the Catholic Church the two as a consequence of Martin Luther's techniques and King Henry VIII's wreck with the Catholic Church. Evangelists have self assurance their project in life is to transform each and every physique to their variety of Christianity. changing to Catholicism demands coaching via a priest, monk, or nun, yet maximum Evangelists look prepared to settle for you the day you stated you agree for Christ.

It has to do with the East vs. the West. The Roman Catholic Church was the Orthodox church in the West. Those who did not believe and practice Catholic beliefs were tortured and killed. Jews were burned in their synagogues along with their Torahs and Talmuds.
The Orthodox Church in the East had many branches, similar to today's Protestant denominations. The Eastern Orthodox Church allowed several differing versions and did not have a central Pope that was considered infallible.

There are differences in their Apostle's Creeds.
One states that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son. The other States that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Son.
The Orthodox also do not have a tradition of Purgatory.

The main differences are that Greek Orthodox Priests can be married and that they do not recognize the Pope as the Spiritual leader. Otherwise not too many important differences. We share more than our differences.

Main beliefs are the same. Biggest difference is on the Papacy. There are married priest in the Catholic Church, but most of those are in the Byzantine Rites. There are just a handful of married priests in the Latin Rite, and all of those are converts.
But both churches celebrate the same sacraments, etc.
