Between the time of the apostles and the Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church was the most prominent form of Christianity. Rome was the religious power in the world. The orthodox split did not come for about 500 years, when the Nicene Creed was changed. It was argued that the new language destroyed the doctrine of Trinity. However, the orthodox have never achieved the numbers of faithful and dominence of the Romans Catholics.

Well so far, the answers give seem to think the Catholic church held the most "Biblical Doctrine", which if U mean Just "Writings" then U may be right as they Murdered, Pillaged & Desecrated to posses them. However, THEY were the "Religion" that was about to be "Reformed" for their "Evil & Wicked Deeds", so I would have to say the Albigenses / Cathari in Southern France, Northern Spain & Italy as Pope Innocent III in 1208 ordered the Extermination of Every Man, Woman & Child of the Group he perceived as a THREAT to Catholic World Domination Spiritually & Politically!!!

What do you mean? This is not a very clear question. What options do you even have? Eastern Orthodox Christians and Catholics. As far as Biblical doctrines are concerned, what do you even mean by that? That can mean a lot of different things. Arguably, both groups were probably essentially the same. I think this question needs to be reformulated into something more concise and significant.
