The three major traditions? Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant...
That's a bit difficult to explain. There was one church called 'The Catholic Orthodox church" it split into Orthodox and Catholic. However there are two Orthodox churches which both preserve the ancient teachings and traditions of the original church. Except have a different view of the divintiy of christ. The Eastern "Oriental' Orthodox church believes that christ has two natures but united while the Eastern Orthodox church believes that chirst has two natures but seperate. However,they both are the original church and have not changed the apostolic traditions. So the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Churches are equally old since they were both founded by one of the apostles,however the Orthodox church stayed true to the original churches beliefs and traditions. But they became referred to as "Orthodox" in 451 AD (Eastern "Oriental' Orthodox) and in 1054 (Eastern Orthodox)

Yes, St. Christopher is a Catholic saint known as the patron saint of travelers. He was removed from the universal liturgical calendar in 1970 but is still recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church.

Yes!
I believe their are about 75 books in the Eastern Orthodox bible. Below is a link to Wikipedia. org that shows the different books, their names, and whether or not they are from the Jewish, Protestant, Catholic, and/or Eastern Orthodox traditions (they also list the original language it was written in).
According to the Wikipedia article on Joanna, wife of Chuza, "In the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic traditions, she is a saint."
Yes. Well mostly, there is a small spat about a monophysite/diophysite issue but almost all rituals and traditions are the same.
She believed she was Jewish, but she wasn't orthodox, so she just went along with the traditions, but didn't feel strongly about it. She had her own way of thinking.
At all religious functions in near eastern and orthodox Jewish traditions, men and women worship separately from one another to avoid *cough* distracting thoughts.User:67.148.120.72
