The question is not fully correct,ill explain why?
The Orthodox Churche(s) and the Roman Church both have apostolic succession therefore they are the same age and can trace their roots to christ.
However the Catholic Church wanted to change doctrines,traditions,litrugy etc so they changed the original church and continued to add extra doctrines after the 1054 schism e.g pugartory,immaculate conception etc
but the Orthodox Church hasn't changed anything or added any extra doctrines after the 1054 schism.
So concluding the Orthodox and Catholic church are equally old but the Orthodox church is older in tradition,beliefs etc
What else can I help you with?
Can a divorced greek orthodox woman marry a catholic man in a catholic church if her first marriage was annulled by the greek church?
The answers is no, if he wasn't divorced,yes,because the catholic church recognises the orthodox church as valid since they were one church before.However if he is divorced he is not allowed in either catholic or orthodox. A Catholic can marry any non- Catholic, and it is recognized as a sacrament in the Catholic church. Only when the individual has been previously married there is an issue. In which case that individual must have their previous marriage annuled. The Catholic church permits Catholics to marry in the Orthodox church and it is a sacrament. I have spoken to Catholic priests and Catholic Bishops and they do not see a problem with a Greek annulment, as being an impediment. If that individual did not have their marriage previously annulled than it would be an issue.

Why was there a schism between the Greek Orthodox Church?
The Orthodox Church and the Roman Church both have apostolic succession so they are equally old. Anyway at one stage they were one church called the Catholic Orthodox Church or The Universal Truth. The western church (Catholic) wanted to change the creed (a sum of the faith) and started declaring papal supremacy over the other churches - the Orthodox church views the St.Peter on the rock thing a Primacy of Honour not infallibility since Jesus did not make one apostle greater than the other. These were the main events that caused the 1054 schism and creating officially the Catholic and Orthodox Church. However seeing how the Catholic Church changed its teachings,liturgy among other things. The Orthodox Church did not change anything before or after the 1054 schism That is why the Catholic Church views the Orthodox Church as valid, but the Orthodox Church doesn't for the Catholic Church
What came first Orthodox Christians or Catholic Christians?

How did Christianity become orthodox or Catholic?
The Church of Christ was founded by the Holy Apostles on the First Pentecost. That Church was Orthodox (Right believing, Right worshipping) and Catholic (Universal). The Church of Christ-wherever people were converted to it, was Orthodox, until 1054, when the West (Western Europe) split from the Orthodox Church due to different issues, but mainly revolving around the novel claim of the Popes that they had more power than did all the other Bishops of the Church. As time went on, the church in the West became known as "the Roman Catholic Church," the True Church of Christ in the East as the "Orthodox Church," usually modified by the region of the Church being spoken of - "Greek Orthodox Church," "Russian Orthodox Church," etc. In light of the belief of the Orthodox Church that it is the True Church of Christ, and therefore, True Christianity, "Christianity" did not "become Orthodox or Catholic," but always was, and still is Orthodox; Roman Catholics are an organization that adopted incorrect beliefs about the Church and about Christ from the 9th century on; once being identical, by the 20th century, the gulf had widened greatly, with Roman Catholic belief becoming very far away, indeed, from the beliefs of Orthodox Christianitythe True Church of Christ, the only Genuine Christianity.
What are the books of the Eastern Orthodox Church?
The Eastern Orthodox Church uses the Bible. The books in their Canon are slightly different than that of the Roman Catholic, but they also use 3 Maccabees, Psalm 151, and 1 Esdras.
Can a Roman Catholic get an annulment from Orthodox Catholic or other Catholic rites?
It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. . A Catholic is bound by his Bishop. If he is a Latin Rite Catholic, then he would need to ask his pastor to apply to his Latin Rite bishop for an annulment. If he is another Rite, then he would need to apply to his Bishop in that Rite. There are more than a few Rites in the Catholic Church, the Latin Rite is just the largest. . An Orthodox Bishop has no standing in the Catholic Church whatsoever, other than valid Orders.
What are the differences between the Catholic and Orthodox sacraments?
The main differences between Catholic and Orthodox sacraments lie in the understanding of the role of the Pope, the use of unleavened bread in the Eucharist, and the number of sacraments recognized. The Catholic Church recognizes the Pope as the head of the Church, uses unleavened bread in the Eucharist, and acknowledges seven sacraments. In contrast, the Orthodox Church does not recognize the Pope's authority, uses leavened bread in the Eucharist, and recognizes more than seven sacraments.
What kind of orthodox church is in Romania Greek or Russian?

List three ways that the Roman Catholic Church differed from the Greek Orthodox Church during the early Christian era?
During the early Christian era, before the Great Schism, the Roman Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church did not exist as separate entities - there was only a Church that is now called the Catholic-Orthodox Church. Nevertheless, there were differences between the two sections of the one Church:The western Church, which was later to become the Roman Catholic Church, used Latin, while the eastern Churches used Greek;The western Church celebrated Easter at a different time of year than the eastern Churches.The bishop of Rome regarded himself as of higher standing in the Church than the other Metropolitans of the Church;The eastern primates generally had more autonomy from decision of the emperor than did the bishop of Rome.
Is Orthodox Catholic or Protestant?
Neither. The Catholic church was part of a schism in the church prior to the formation of Protestant denominations.One Wikianswerers opinion:They are Catholic, I was talking to a priest the other day, to learn more of the Catholic beliefs I have been raised Baptist and was just wanting to learn..Catholic AnswerIf you wish to know more about the Catholic Church, ask a priest when the next RCIA class starts. It usually starts in August and runs until the following Easter. It is an Inquirer's class - people who are curious about the Catholic Church. .The Orthodox split from the Catholic Church in the 11th century, mostly over political problems that had been going on for quite some time. When they split, every Rite split in two. In other words, to this day, there is a Greek Orthodox Church, and a Greek Uniate Church. The Orthodox no longer acknowledge the Pope and the Uniate Churches do. But they all remain Catholic in the sense that they are a full Christian Church with a valid apostolic succession, and valid sacraments. If a Greek Orthodox wanted to become Catholic, he would make a profession of faith, but he would not be baptized or confirmed, as he received these sacraments in the Orthodox Church. The Orthodox isn't really "Catholic", but they are valid Church and they are in schism.Protestants, on the hand, are not valid churches, they do not have a valid priesthood and they do not have valid sacraments (save Baptism). They are heretics, not schismatics, they completely left the Church and lost the sacraments (save Baptism), the Church refers to them as ecclesial communities NOT Churches.
Can children be baptized Orthodox and Catholic?
No, because Christians can only be baptized once, as we say in the Creed: "I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins." The Pope has stated that he accepts all Orthodox baptisms as valid, but not all Orthodox churches accept Roman Catholic baptisms as being valid (because Catholics sprinkle with water, rather than fully immerse), so a child baptized in an Orthodox Church would be accepted as valid by both.
