What is one issue on which the western church and the eastern church have never been able to agree?
The Catholic Church and The Orthodox Church are divided, primarily, over the role of the Bishop of Rome (the pope) as the authoritative successor of St. Peter.
Within The Catholic Church, proper, there is the Latin Rite and the Eastern Rite. There is no theological division between these two rites within The Catholic Church.

On what issue did the church in the east and in the west not agree?
The primary issue of disagreement between the Eastern and Western churches was the authority of the Pope. The Western Church, centered in Rome, upheld the Pope as the supreme authority over all Christians, while the Eastern Church, particularly in Constantinople, emphasized a conciliar model of governance and rejected papal supremacy. This theological and jurisdictional conflict contributed to the Great Schism of 1054, which formally divided Christianity into the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Other points of contention included the filioque clause in the Nicene Creed and various cultural and liturgical differences.

Are Eastern Catholics and Orthodox the same?
No, not technically. Eastern Catholics are in communion with Rome, which means they recognize the Pope as the Supreme Pontiff. Orthodox do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Church. They recognize the Pontiff as "first among firsts," but think that the Pope (which means Father) does not have the last say in all things religious. Orthodox believe that Ecumenical Councils have the last say in what happens in the Church. Though there are many Orthodox Churches around the world such as the Greek Orthodox Church or the Russian Orthodox Church they all agree on doctrine as identified in the Seven Ecumenical Councils that took place before Catholics and Orthodox split in 1054. Eastern Catholic churches were originally built along ethnic lines, but now are open to any ethnicity, regardless of the country in which they live. For example, the Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Church was originally in Ruthenia, a region of Eastern Europe that is now part of Poland, eastern Slovakia, Northern Hungary and western Ukraine. There is a Byzantine Catholic Church in that region still, but there is also a Ruthenian Byzantine Catholic Church in America. I know, that is what I am. My ancestors originally came from eastern Slovakia. Almost all Eastern Catholics follow a liturgy that is identical to the Orthodox church in the region where they came from. But the main difference is that of the issue of the Pope.

What relationship did Jesus and God have?
AnswerIn the view of Bishop Spong, in the early church, Jesus became "Son of God" at the time of his miraculous resurrection (Romans 1:4); later it was at the time of his baptism (Mark); then finally at the time of his birth. John, alone of the gospels, says that Jesus was truly devine and pre-existing.Later, the notion of a trinity was established, and was adopted at the Council of Nicaea. The remaining issue was whether Jesus was one substance with God: the western Church said yes, the eastern Churches said no. Their failure to agree finally resulted in the Great Schism of 1054.

How has same-sex marriage caused separation in the church?
In the United States, the issue of same-sex marriage, bundled together with the ordination of same-sex married clergy, has caused schism in several churches, notably the Episcopalians and the Lutherans. In many other churches, most notably the Roman Catholic Church, the majority of members polled do not agree with the official church teaching on the issue.
Why were icons such an important issue in the split between the eastern orthodox and western roman catholic churches?
They were not. Both the Orthodox and Roman Catholics accept the decision of the Seventh Ecumenical Council which declared that the veneration of icons is essential in the Christian Church. The split (or schism) was due to other causes, such as Papal claims of supremacy, and the change to the Creed.
Is the eastern orthodox church and roman catholic church's disagreement about weather or not priests should be allowed to marry a source of tension between them?
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.
