What were the churches that broke away from catholics called?
Until 1517, there were only two branches of Christianity; the Roman Catholic Church, which had the Pope as its head, and the Eastern Catholic Church, also known as the Orthodox Catholic Church, which was led by the Patriarch of Constantinople (later called Istanbul). If you were Christian, you were Catholic. In 1517, a Catholic Monk named Martin Luther nailed a list of 95 things he found wrong with the Church on the door of his parish church in Wittenburg, Germany (although lately there has been some question whether or not he actually and literally Nailed them). These were the 95 Thesis that were the basis of the Protestant Reformation. The "Protestant Reformation" was so called because Martin Luther, and the people who followed him, Protested the injustice and downright Blasphemy that they saw in the Catholic Church. There were all sorts of practices of the Church with which they disagreed, but the two Basic ideas that inspired the Protestant Reformation were (1) the idea that Every person had personal access to God, and had no need of a Priest to mediate with God for him/her, and (2) the premise that Faith alone was sufficient for Salvation. The Catholic Church held, and still does, that a combination of Faith and Service (works) was necessary. The churches that carried on these beliefs are called Protestant, and the people who attend are known as Protestants.
What basic idea did the reformers share?
To go against the catholic church.
Why did people worship in the middle ages... What did not worshipping mean... What did the church expect from the worshippers... What was the basic doctrine of the church?
The only church in the middle ages was Catholic. The Catholic church taught that they were needed for man to communicate with God. They also taught that man was born in sin and to get to heaven they needed to go through the church. The Church set the standards and rules for the society as well as telling kings and queens how to rule.

Wycliffe believed that the state had a responsibility to correct the Church if the Church had been corrupted. He also believed the Church should use its wealth to feed the poor and needy. Last, Wycliffe taught that the Eucharist was symbolic of the blood and body of Christ Ð this went against the Church teaching of transubstantiation.

Yes. In fact there are daily prayers that are supposed to be recited by the individual.

Can a catholic receive communion in Greek orthodox church?
No they cannot. The Orthodox Chruch and Catholic Church are not in communion with one another and are not able to receive the Eucharist at other churches legitmately. -UPDATE- In the past few years this practice has been changed. Orthodox believers can now receive communion in a Roman Catholic Church and Roman Catholics can now receive communion in an Orthodox Church, however either should only be done in a time of necessity. Great strides are being made in bringing the two churches back together again as it was in the beginning. Catholics will give communion to an Orthodox but an Orthodox is not supposed to take communion anywhere but in the Orthodox Church. I have yet to see communion given to a Catholic in an Orthodox church. If you are not baptised Orthodox you are not given the Holy Mystery in the Orthodox Church. In my church, the Priest will not give communion to anyone unless they have had confession, and will certainly not give communion to ANYONE, not even a Catholic, if they are not Orthodox. It is not allowed.

Have there been religious wars between the eastern orthodox?
The basic answer to your question is No, no Holy Wars have ever been approved or begun by the churches against other churches. Remember that Orthodoxy is made up of several church branches (i.e. Russian, Greek, Bulgarian etc.) each with their own head. The heads get together (usually in COnstantinople the center of the Orthodox faith) and they decide policies (usually things like new saints, or maybe additional members of the orthodox family). There have been political wars however, Orthodox Serbians attacked several Bosnian Muslims in the early to mid 1990s however this was absolutely NOT sanctuned by the church. In fact, the Church has a clear defensive based view of military. In fact in the later crusades, the Orthodox church refused to aid the Catholic conquerers of the Holy Land for because of this strong tradition of avoiding conflict. Orthodox nations, however, do exist seperately from the church and at times, as in all religions, overzealous people take control and plunge the nation into War, especially seen during WWI, WWII, and the Communist Revolutions. Churches will aid during war time by providing shelter in monestaries, food, protection, even defense and monetary support when needed (the example was the aid of refugees, or freedom fighters like in Greece' fight for Independence) But Orthodoxy has a strong NON-Violence policy based in centuries old teachings of word over blood to spread Christ's word (Hense why the Orthodox nations never participated in any form of inquisition or torture.
What is the constitution of the Church?
The basic structure of the Church that has been in place since the Church's beginning.
What is differences between Orthodox Christianity and Catholicism?
The basic difference is that Catholics recognize the pope in Rome as the universal head of their Church in both administrative and spiritual matters. The Orthodox do not recognize the pope as supreme head and split from the Catholic Church in the 11th century with the Patriarch excommunicating the Pope, and the Pope excommunicating the Patriarch. The Orthodox only recognize the first 10 centuries of the Councils of the Church. They do not have the filoque in their creed (I believe in the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father and the Son.) Most important right now, there is no one head of the various Orthodox churches. Various patriarchs are in Rome right now discussing reunion with Pope Benedict XVI, please keep them in your prayers.
