which comes first,orthodox religion or catholic religion?

Answer 1

Both.

Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics were one and the same Church until they 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.

Answer 2

It was more like a split, rather than one being before the other.

There were originally three major centers of the Christian movement -- in Alexandria, Antioch, and Rome. To these were then added Constantinople and Jerusalem as "sees." The Roman bishop held himself to be "first among equals." The bishops of the other (Greek-speaking) capitals did not necessarily agree.

Eventually the Greek East (Orthodox) and the Latin West (Catholic) split apart. And with time the Greek capitals all fell under the political control of the Islamic civilization. Ultimately, although Orthodox Christianity continued (and grew, for example, in Russia), the Roman bishopric was the last one standing in power within a Christian dominant culture.

Answer 3

The terms are identical (Kath-holikos = "according to the whole" Orthodox = "Right belief") until the Great Schism in 1054 A.D.

Until then, there was truly only One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

Answer 4

It depends on how you define "orthodox" and how you define "catholic".

"Catholic" means "universal".

"Orthodox" means "original".

The Bible says that the Disciples of Jesus were first called "Christians in Antioch".

Acts 11:26
and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.

So the earliest church people where called "Christians". They were not called "catholic" they were not called "orthodox".

If you are asking about the historical "Roman Catholic Church" and the historical "Orthodox Church", the founding of those two groups was sometime in the 9th Century.

I know that some religious groups will lie to you because it makes them feel more important to re-write their history to make the false claim that "we are the first church", when they were not.

I'm a member of a local church which was founded in 1989 by Jesus Christ.

I'm about to move to Florida and start up a brand new local church which was founded by Jesus Christ, not by me.

Jesus founded the universal church when He rose from the dead.

All true Christians are members of that church today.

Answer 7

Depends on who you talk to.Orthodox will say that the pope is a rebellious bishop who split the church, while the Roman Catholics will say the Orthodox rebelled against the pope.

Answer 8

Neither. They were both originally ruled over by bishops. Both bishops decided that they wanted to be over all the other bishops. In order to settle the question, the western bishop in Rome excommunicated the eastern bishop in Constantinople (where it all started, by the way). In turn, the eastern bishop put a curse on the western bishop. Then they went their own separate direction.
