At this point in history, it is extremely unlikely that the Catholic Church will reunite with the Eastern Orthodox faith for a number of reasons:
Filioque: "and the Son" an addition by Western Christianity to the Nicene Creed in 589 without agreement with Eastern Christianity
Papal Supremacy: Eastern Christianity did not acknowledge the Pope as the supreme and infallable leader of the Church
Language: Latin was primarily spoken by Western Christianity, but Greek was spoken by Eastern Christianity
Schism of 1054: Western Christianity and Eastern Christianity mutually exocummunicated each other, primarily for the above reasons, thus forming the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Faith.
Since the split of the two churches in 1054, the Roman Catholic mass has evolved due to external influences, but Orthodoxy has remained unchanged. The difference in liturgical layouts is the primary reason why Catholicism and Orthodoxy cannot reunite in modern times.

Haha...no other church! You have the opportunity to see bread turn in to Christ every Sunday and you want to go to another church? No other church has what the Catholic church has.
