Both churches regard themselves as the true descendant church of the early Christian church, so it's more proper to say that they originated at the same time or along parallel paths until they split formally from each other. Yet, The Orthodox Church has only changed 1 thing about itself since the year 33 A.D. - The Language the Liturgy is performed in (Greek, Russian, Ukrainian, etc.) The Roman Catholic Church has made many changes, and also had many other sects break off of it.

Why was Catholicism the first Christian religion?
The very early days of Christianity apparently saw considerable diversity within the Christian community, as evidenced by the comments of authors such as Paul and Matthew. Some of the very early Christian sects include Ebionites, Nazarenes, Nazoraeans, Cerinthians and Carpocratians, as well as what was later to become known as the proto-Catholic Orthodox Church. With the strong support of Emperor Constantine, the Catholic Orthodox Church became the dominant Christian Church and eventually the state religion of Rome. After the Great Schism of 1054, the then universal Catholic Orthodox Church split into the separate Roman Catholic and Orthodox branches of Christianity. So, although Catholicism has roots going back to the very beginning of Christianity, it really only separated from its sister Orthodox Churches in 1054 CE.
