Until 1054, the year of the Great Schism, there were five patriarchates, or seats of authority, of the Church founded by Christ: Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria, and Jerusalem. After the Schism, the Patriarch of Rome became the Pope of the, from that point on, Catholic Church. All the other Patriarchates continued as the Orthodox Christian Church. Constantinople was never Roman Catholic. The Greek Orthodox Christian Church in Constantinople/Istanbul is currently under attack by the Muslim Turkish government. The government will not allow an Orthodox Christian seminary to be built, and will not allow Orthodox priests to come from other countries. None of us know exactly what it was like back in 1054. edit: And the Orthodox Church does *not* recognize the Pope as anything but the head of the Catholic Church.
