that's in part real. even nonetheless, those variations weren't people who created the schism. relatively it have been the theological disagreements. The Catholics profess the infamous for Orthodoxes "filioque" the perception that the Holy Spirit comes forth the two from the father and the Son. That for the Orthodoxes ability that's inferior. There are different factors of war of words like statues VS icons, Virgin Mary's Immaculate concept, the Pope's supermacy and infallacy and relatively some others.

People always think that I am Orthodox because I am a Ukrainian Catholic. The big thing that they ask is: "are you under the Pope?" I always have to clarify that, yes, I am a Catholic like them. Just a different Rite. The Orthodox do not believe in Papal Infallibility, but Catholics do. So I think that, at least from my experience, that is the most important issue.

Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics separated from one another in 1054. There are very few theological differences. The main difference is that the Eastern Orthodox Churches (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11329a.htm) use the Byzantine Rite (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04312d.htm) and the Roman Catholic Church use the Roman or Latin Rite.
Pope John Paul II said of the Eastern Orthodox Churches in Orientale Lumen, "A particularly close link already binds us. We have almost everything in common." (see http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/apost_letters/documents/hf_jp-ii_apl_02051995_orientale-lumen_en.html )
With love in Christ.

If orthodoxy accepted Papal Infallibility, then all of the other differences would be resolved by the Pope speaking ex cathedra upon them, for example-
Filioque Clause
Purgatory
Original sin
Immaculate Conception of Mary, the Mother of God
Leavened Hosts
Number of Ecumenical Councils
Date of Easter
Divorce and remarriage
Baptism by immersion
Non-monastic Bishops
Marriage of non-monastic clergy is a matter of discipline and not Doctrine for either group

We are separated by one Greek letter, an iota.
