what is defference between catolic and ortodox religion?

Answer 1

I am assuming that those are just typos & that this is a legit question...

Christianity in general and in a practical sense can be grouped in 3 big groups

Orthodox, Catholic (or more correctly Roman Catholic) & a third that the Catholics call Protestant.

Orthodox means "True Belief"
Catholic means "Universal"
Protestant means well that they are "under protest" of the "establishment"

Both the Orthodox and the Catholic Churches claim that theirs is the "one true" Church.

The Orthodox Church is a loosely federation oF churches, each under a head.
The Roman Catholic Church is a single church with the Pope at its head.

Both churches have an episcopal structure, celebrating mass and the sacraments. Both share the same canon of scriptures, and affirm the declarations of the early church councils.

Answer 2

MODERNITY
Catholics would argue that Orthodoxy has not come to grips with modernity and the new challenges to Christianity that it brings, in terms of how to effectively communicate the gospel to modern man. The Catholic Church renewed itself along these lines in the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). One need not compromise doctrine in order to deal with the modern situation. Pope John Paul 11 does not do so in his stream of extremely relevant and cogent encyclicals on present-day issues such as moral theology, labor, the family, the role of women, the place of laypeople, etc. Although, as a result of this undertaking (i.e., due to a corruption of the nature of the Council by ambitious heterodox Catholics), the Catholic Church suffers from a modernist crisis within its own ranks, this too will pass. Signs of this are increasing, and the nonsense will fade away like all the other crises and heretical movements in the past. The long-term benefits of the strategy to confront the culture boldly and with fresh insight and innovation (within the bounds of traditional Catholic orthodoxy) will be evident in the years to come.





CONTRACEPTION
Orthodoxy, although praiseworthy in its generally traditional stand for Christian morality, differs from Catholicism over the question of the propriety and morality of contraception, which was universally condemned by all branches of Christianity until 1930. Thus, Catholics feel that they (almost alone today) are more in accord with apostolic Christian Tradition on this point, and that an acceptance of contraception is a giving in to humanistic sexual ethics. Catholics regard it as a mortal sin, whereas Orthodoxy has not even forbidden it.





DIVORCE
Catholics also believe that Jesus and the Apostles, and ancient Christian Tradition, considered a valid sacramental marriage between two baptized Christians as absolutely indissoluble . An annulment is essentially different from a divorce in that it is the determination (based on a variety of reasons) that a valid sacramental marriage never existed. Orthodoxy accepts second and third marriages, with a measure of penitential sadness commensurate with a falling short of the Christian ideal, and feels that this is a tragic pastoral necessity, in light of the fallen human condition.

Answer 3

The beliefs and worship of the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches are very similar, but the Catholic Church is under the authority of the Vicar of Christ, the Pope, while the Orthodox Churches are not. Don't confuse the Orthodox Churches, which are in schism from the Catholic Church since the 11th Century, with the Eastern Rite of the Catholic Church, which greatly resembles the Orthodox in many of their traditions, but which is fully under the authority of the Pope.

Answer 4

As far as I know during the early period of these two churches both had a leader that they felt was a legitimate successor to Peter. Orthodox Christians don't believe that the pope is the legitimate leader of the Christian faith.

Answer 5

Catholicism is orthodox. Orthodox simply means "straight thinking". There are reformed Catholics but they vary as to what they have changed. Then there are heretics and of course the ever-popular heathens followed up by the pagans. It is a terrible mess I tell you!!!

Answer 6

Beards.

Answer 7

No difference catholic priests do not marry and catholics are guided by Vatican.There was never any schism.

Answer 8

There's no difference there both wrong spellings!

Answer 9

As far as the oppression of women goes, no difference.

Answer 10

I don't know... I know the similarity...The "H" that you left out of both words...
