The meaning of orthodox church?
The catholic church is sometimes considered the collection of churches that developed out of the Great Schism (namely, the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church).

The term "catholic" is claimed by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church.

What is Eastern Orthodox Catholic?
You have your wording incorrect. There is Eastern Orthodox, and Eastern Catholic. Both are different Churches. Eastern Orthodox: The Eastern Orthodox Church was once one Church along with the Roman Catholic Church until the Great Schism in 1054. After 1054, they have been two separate Churches. The difference easiest to recognize is their view of the Bishop of Rome (the Pope). The Roman Catholic Church believes that the Bishop of Rome has the final say in defining doctrine whereas the Eastern Orthodox Church believes Church doctrine can only change when it has been decided in an Ecumenical Council such as the seven that were held before the churches split. Eastern Catholic: The Eastern Catholic Churches are former Eastern Orthodox Churches that have enter back into communion with the Holy See. They still practice using Eastern Rites, however. (Ex. Married men can be ordained Priests, the Nicene Creed is read without the Filioque clause, etc.) Hope I answered your question. ~God Bless
