Yes, the issue of priestly celibacy is a point of contention between the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, married men can become priests, while the Roman Catholic Church requires celibacy for priests. This difference has been a historical source of tension between the two churches.

In 800 AD, the crowning of Charlemagne as Emperor by Pope Leo III in Rome significantly increased tensions between the Eastern and Western Christian realms. This event symbolized a rival claim to authority over Christendom, challenging the Byzantine Empire's influence in the East, where the Byzantine Emperor considered himself the rightful Roman Emperor. The act deepened the schism between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, setting the stage for future conflicts and divisions.

It brought more religions to the country (catholic and protestant) and there was a tension between the Catholic and protestant.<3
Although in practice icons often were (and still often are) objects of worship among Orthodox believers and several of them were and are believed to have supernatural powers, the official teaching of the Orthodox Church is that they are not sacred object of worship. In that sense there is or was no difference or tension between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Church. Roman Catholic teaching also does not consider statues of the Virgin and other Saints as holy object of worship, and exactly as among Orthodox believers, many devout Catholics do nevertheless pray to those statues and attribute supernatural powers to some of them.Nor was there any difference on the issue whether Jesus was the Son of God. There was however a subtle difference on the issue of the Holy Spirit: Orthodox teaching holds that Father, Son and Holy Ghost are 3 separate 'persons', with the Holy Ghost being linked to only the Father. Catholicism sees the three as a "Trinity", and has the Holy Ghost linked to the Father as well as to the Son.No; basically the schism was caused by a power struggle, pure and simple. The Eastern Roman Emperor totally rejected the claims of what he considered just the Bishop of an impoverished and politically negligible city like Rome (which the Pope was, at the time) of "universal jurisdiction" over all Christians. Meaning that his Empire, his Church and even he himself should be subject to said bishop. So instead, the Emperor created the "Orthodox"church organization in which the church's highest cleric was answerabele to him instead of the other way around.
