Probably iconoclasm which caused a split between east and west around AD 680-850. Second most important difference was language. The western church conducted it's business in Latin and the eastern one in Greek. Political differences, too, between the Byzantine Emperors and the Frankish Emperors contributed.

You are asking to a simple answer to something that is intimately bound up with some thousand years of history.
