According to my textbook "world religions western traditions" contentions between the doctrine of whom Christ was, was prominent between the two sects ultimately leading to a power struggle between the East and the West. Division also probably had to do more with politics and cultural differences. Characteristics that varied from Latin Christianity which was prominent in Orthodox Christianity was the fact that Latin wasn't the only language which liturgy took place in, the marriage of clergymen was acceptable, and they didn't see the pope as the head of the church.

the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church
The two churches were the Eastern Orthodox and the Roman Catholic
yes they are
The term "catholic" is claimed by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Roman Catholic Church includes all the Churches that accept the authority of the pope in Rome, including certain Eastern Churches. The Eastern Orthodox Church does not accept the authority of the pope in Rome. The pope is the spiritual leader of all Christians. However, the Protestants and Orthodox do not recognize that leadership.
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). Although I have never heard someone use the term "catholic orthodox church," I would consider it to be referring to the Eastern Orthodox Christian religion.
The Catholic Church in the West and the Orthodox Church in the East
I see a lot of domes on Orthodox churches but rarely see them on Catholic churches.
To reunite the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches...now that is the right answer :)
No, the Roman Empire had fallen about 600 years prior to the Great Schism.
A female has never been ordained to "major orders" deacon/priest in the Roman Catholic Church, the Uniate Churches (Eastern Catholic) or Orthodox Church
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
Both began as forms of European Christianity. -Apex- :)
