Which is a valid distinction between the catholic church and the eastern orthodox church?

The most visible distinction is that Roman Catholics recognize the supremacy of the Pope in Rome, while the Eastern Orthodox Church doesn't. The Orthodox Church does not have one single leader: the Patriarchs of the several East European countries are all supreme leaders of 'their' Church. The Patriarch of Constantinople traditionally is seen as the 'first among equals' but that is more a courtesy title than an expression of real supremacy. All other distinctions concern often obscure points of theological doctrine, such as the fact that Roman Catholics consider Father, Son and Holy Ghost as a trinity, while the Eastern Orthodox Church sees them as a 'duality', linking the Holy Ghost to the Father only. Finally: when they cross themselves, Orthodox believers go from right to left, Roman Catholics from left to right.
