What are Orthodox Catholics?
There are Eastern or Byzantine Rite Catholics but they are in full union with Rome as opposed to the Eastern Orthodox Churches which are not. There was a brief period in the 20th century, when a separate Orthodox Church broke away from the Eastern Orthodox Church in America and formed the America Orthodox Catholic Church. But it was yet another splinter of an already splintered Church. orthodox (small "O") means right belief, and thus is synonymous with Catholic. Now, there is also an Orthodox Catholic Church of America, also not in Communion with the Catholic Church. . You may read about the American Orthodox Catholic Church at the links below.
How did Christianity become orthodox or Catholic?
The Church of Christ was founded by the Holy Apostles on the First Pentecost. That Church was Orthodox (Right believing, Right worshipping) and Catholic (Universal). The Church of Christ-wherever people were converted to it, was Orthodox, until 1054, when the West (Western Europe) split from the Orthodox Church due to different issues, but mainly revolving around the novel claim of the Popes that they had more power than did all the other Bishops of the Church. As time went on, the church in the West became known as "the Roman Catholic Church," the True Church of Christ in the East as the "Orthodox Church," usually modified by the region of the Church being spoken of - "Greek Orthodox Church," "Russian Orthodox Church," etc. In light of the belief of the Orthodox Church that it is the True Church of Christ, and therefore, True Christianity, "Christianity" did not "become Orthodox or Catholic," but always was, and still is Orthodox; Roman Catholics are an organization that adopted incorrect beliefs about the Church and about Christ from the 9th century on; once being identical, by the 20th century, the gulf had widened greatly, with Roman Catholic belief becoming very far away, indeed, from the beliefs of Orthodox Christianitythe True Church of Christ, the only Genuine Christianity.
