The disagreement between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches primarily centers around theological, liturgical, and authority issues. A significant point of contention is the role of the Pope; Catholics recognize the Pope as the supreme authority in Christianity, while Orthodox Christians reject this notion, favoring a conciliar model of governance. Additionally, disputes over the Filioque clause in the Nicene Creed, which pertains to the procession of the Holy Spirit, further deepened the divide. These differences contributed to the Great Schism of 1054, which formalized the split between the two branches of Christianity.

What was the byzantine church called after the great schism?

After the Great Schism of 1054, the Byzantine church, which was originally known as the Eastern Orthodox Church, became distinct from the Roman Catholic Church. The Byzantine church continued to be referred to as the Eastern Orthodox Church, while the Roman Catholic Church retained its name. The Great Schism created a permanent divide between the two branches of Christianity, leading to different theological beliefs and practices.


What Christian Church did most people belong to in the Middle Ages?

The most important Church of the Middle Ages was the Catholic Church. When it split in 1054, it became the Roman Catholic Church in the West and the Eastern Orthodox Church in the East. There were always other Churches. The Celtic Church, the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches were very early and all predated the Middle Ages. The Celtic Christian Church was absorbed by the Catholic Church, but the others continue. There were also heterodox organizations outside orthodox Christianity, and some of these were declared heretical, in some cases resulting in military operations.


What is eastern?

Eastern Orthodoxy is just as old as Catholicism. Before 1054 there was simply the Church. No separate denominations or anything. Afterwards, the Catholic and Orthodox churches were formed and later differences in tradition and theology arose. For example, the Catholic Pope is infallible, the Orthodox use a different calendar to calculate Easter, and the Orthodox still use tradition Byzantine style when painting their icons. There are many differences and yet both churches hope to reunite someday to restore the Christian faith to it's once universal state.


On what issue did the church in the east and in the west not agree?

The primary issue of disagreement between the Eastern and Western churches was the authority of the Pope. The Western Church, centered in Rome, upheld the Pope as the supreme authority over all Christians, while the Eastern Church, particularly in Constantinople, emphasized a conciliar model of governance and rejected papal supremacy. This theological and jurisdictional conflict contributed to the Great Schism of 1054, which formally divided Christianity into the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. Other points of contention included the filioque clause in the Nicene Creed and various cultural and liturgical differences.


What were the main unifying factors of medieval Europe?

I was baptized a Roman Catholic but confirmed Orthodox and I married a Greek Orthodox can I have my nephew baptized in a Catholic Church?

Since you are confirmed Orthodox and married a Greek Orthodox, the Orthodox Church requires that any children you may have should be baptized Orthodox. Also, as an Orthodox, you are not allowed to baptize your nephew or any other person in a catholic church. From the Catholic point of view, unless your nephew is to be reared a Catholic, he may not be baptized in the Catholic Church. If he is to be reared Catholic, either by his parents or godparents, the Church will receive him. No you are GREEK orthodox u must not I reapeat not baptisma your child at a catholic church.
