What is one issue on which the western church and the eastern church have never been able to agree?

∙ 13y ago
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.

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.
What issue led to the constuntion of the Berlin wall?
The Berlin Wall was constructed by the Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc, government in order to stop immigration from the Eastern to the Western Blocs of Germany after WWII. Because the Eastern Bloc limited rights (communist), many citizens tried to flee to the Western Bloc. So, in the middle of the night on August 12, 1961 finished in the morning of the 13th, the wall was constructed.
Which was a disagreement about Christianity between Eastern and Western Europe?
Over the past 2000 years, the churches of the world have divided into different communities over questions of doctrine and authority. The Orthodox community, under the archbishop of Constantinople, separated from the Catholic community, under the Pope (the bishop of Rome), in 1054. This ostensibly arose because the Catholics had made a change to the Nicene Creed without the authority of an ecumenical council. There was a theological question at the centre of the dispute as well. This controversy brought into sharp focus the difference between the eastern and western positions on authority within the Church. The Catholic branch of the Church considers that all authority in the Church vests in the Pope. This position is not accepted in most of the non-western parts of the Church. This issue was also an important part of the Protestant reformation, and led to western churches rejecting the ultimate authority of the Pope, and seeking authority elsewhere.
