The Orthodox Church and the Roman Church both have apostolic succession so they are equally old. Anyway at one stage they were one church called the Catholic Orthodox Church or The Universal Truth. The western church (Catholic) wanted to change the creed (a sum of the faith) and started declaring papal supremacy over the other churches - the Orthodox church views the St.Peter on the rock thing a Primacy of Honour not infallibility since Jesus did not make one apostle greater than the other. These were the main events that caused the 1054 schism and creating officially the Catholic and Orthodox Church. However seeing how the Catholic Church changed its teachings,liturgy among other things. The Orthodox Church did not change anything before or after the 1054 schism That is why the Catholic Church views the Orthodox Church as valid, but the Orthodox Church doesn't for the Catholic Church

How did the Christian Church change after the Great Schism?
In 1054 AD the Christian Church was split into 2.Catholic AnswerYou are asking two different questions if you are asking about the Great Schism of 1054 as the Great Schism happened in the 14th century, the Schism in the 11th century is called the Schism of the East, so below are the two answers: .The Great Schism was not really a schism, it is often confused with the Schism of the East when the Orthodox Church split from Rome back in the eleventh century. In the fourteenth century, the pope moved to Avignon in France, an antipope was elected in Rome, and finally we ended up with three claimants to the papal throne. After the Great Schism was healed, the Holy Father returned to Rome and stayed there. I believe that the papacy lost some of its temporal prestige over the entire incident.from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957The Great Schism, otherwise know as the Schism of the West was not strictly a schism at all but a conflict between the two parties within the Church each claiming to support the true pope. Three months after the election of Urban VI, in 1378, the fifteen electing cardinals declared that they had appointed him only as a temporary vicar and that in any case the election was invalid as made under fear of violence from the Roman mob..Catholic AnswerThe result of the Eastern Schism was the establishment of the Orthodox Churches apart from Rome, or as the Holy Father said of it, "we are only breathing on one lung." When the Orthodox split from the Church, each of them split down the middle so that half stayed with Rome, and half started the Orthodox Church, thus there is a Greek Orthodox Church, and a Greek Uniate Rite within the Catholic Church, and so on for each of the rites and Churches.
