What are the similarities between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church?
First of all, you have to define things. There are two kinds of eastern churches; or you could just as well say there are two kinds of Catholic churches. The Eastern churches are:Eastern Catholic rites (Byzantine, Maronite, e.g.)Eastern Orthodox ChurchOr you could say the Catholic Church comprises: Western Catholic rites (Roman [or Latin], e.g.)Eastern Catholic rites (Byzantine, Maronite, e.g.)Depending upon how they are defined, the Catholic Church has over 20 different rites. The largest, by far, of all rites is the (Western) Roman rite. The largest Eastern rite is the Byzantine. Technically, it is incorrect to refer to all of Catholicism as Roman Catholicism. However, since the headquarters of all of Catholicism is in Rome, in that geographical senseit is correct, but doesn't make much sense to say so, since there isn't any other Catholicism. As to similarities and differences, that question has been answered elsewhere. But as a generalization you could say that Eastern Churches seem more alike on the surface (appearance, traditions, etc.), but that Western and Eastern Catholic rites are more like each other in the deeper sense (doctrine).

What is the difference between protestant catholic and orthodix Christianity?
First, there is more in common betwen the different Christian churches and communities there is different, especially in the most important things, like our faith in God as Trinity, faith in Christ, the Resurrection, baptism, the importance of the Bible, etc.It is also important to remember that there are many different Protestant churches and communities, each is different from the other, and so each is different from the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church in different ways.Briefly, though, differences include:The Catholic Church is a communion of 23 autonomous churches, present throughout the world, all of which are in communion with the pope (the bishop of Rome).The Orthodox Church is a communion of 25-30 autocephalous and autonomous churches in communion with the Ecumenical Patriarch (the bishop of Constantinople). There are also the six Oriental Orthodox Churches which are in commmunion with the pope of Alexandria, and the Assyrian Church in communion with the Patriarch of Selucia-Ctesiphon.There is no Protestant Church, per se, only a variety of protestant churches, and each can differ as much from the other as from either of the above two groups. The main thing they have in common is that they are not Catholic (or Orthodox).Read more: Differences_between_Catholic_and_protestants

Which religions bless themselves?
The Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches bless themselves on a regular basis.

The Orthodox, "receive" the blessing imparted by the priest (head/chest/right shoulder/left shoulder) blessing themselves three times in the name of the Most Holy Trinity.

Can a christian orthodox marry a Catholic?
The Russian Orthodox Church is in communion with other Eastern Orthodox Churches, and with the Patriarch of Constantinople (the city whose name was changed to Istanbul inthe 1920s). The Greek Catholic Church (which is maybe what you mean by 'Catholic Orthodox') have the same liturgy as the Russian and other Eastern Orthodox Churches. But they are in communion with the Pope of Rome and thus part of the Roman Catholic Church. There are, for instance, quite a lot of Greek Catholics in the Ukraine. The Orthodox cross is different than the Christian cross. The reason being is that the Orthodox cross has another strike. Also their main holidays are also different. First of all, there is no such thing as Greek Catholic to my knowledge. There are Greek Orthodox and other Eastern ORthodox as you mentioned including the Russian ORthodox but they are no way ion communion for the Pope of Rome. The Pope means nothing to the Orthodox and are strictly in communion with the Roman Catholics ONLY. You may be thinking of the Byzantine Catholics and the only relationship they to the Orthodox is the Byzantine Cross. And the Byzantine cross is not different from the Christian cross - It is a Christian cross. However, you are right that the cross looks different. It is a typical cross, but with 2 extra crosses, one on top for the sign, and one the bottom which is tilted so that it one end is up towards the right and the other end tilting to the ground. There are alot of Ukrainian Catholics yes. Main holidays are only different by date. Jan. 7 is Xmas and Easter is generally around Passover, only due to the fact that they follow the Julian calendar (from ancient apostolic times) as opposed to following the Roman calendar. All Liturgy's are basically the same in practice, but they do differ s lightly.
Is the Roman Catholic Church from Roman culture?
Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. It is used because Christ's Vicar has been in Rome since St. Peter went there and was buried there. The Catholic Church was an institution founded by Christ for the salvation of souls. There are many rites of Catholic Church, all of which believe in the same things, but only differ in the way they do things. There is also the Byzantine Catholic Church, the Coptic Church, the Ethiopian Church etc. All of them are ONE CHURCH but have separate divisions. The Catholic Church is essentially built on Jewish belief, though not dependent on it. The Latin Rite Church (sometimes referred to {incorrectly} as the "Roman Rite") has incorporated whatever good things of Roman culture into it (eg. types of vestments)
Why does the Catholic Church not re-examine the books in the Bible considering many Gospels that were left out?
A:By and large, the teachings of the Catholic Church are based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and, to a lesser extent, John. It was therefore natural to select these as the gospels to be included in the Catholic-Orthodox canon. The other gospels differ in important ways from Catholic teaching and could never be considered for inclusion in the Catholic Bible. Also, although no gospel was really written by any of the early apostles, the other gospels were all written later than the gospels now in the New Testament, with the possible exception of the Gospel of Thomas. Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church considers the Revelation of God to be complete in the person of Our Blessed Lord, therefore It considers the end of Revelation to be at the death of the last Apostle. At that time, public Revelation, of which the Bible is a part, was complete and can never be added to, or changed. The Catholic Church does not have the authority from God to re-examine the books of the Bible.
