The term "Roman Orthodox Church" is somewhat misleading, as it conflates two distinct branches of Christianity: Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. The Roman Catholic Church, centered in Rome and led by the Pope, represents the Western Christian tradition, while the Eastern Orthodox Church comprises various autocephalous churches, primarily in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, with a strong connection to Byzantine traditions. After the Great Schism of 1054, these two branches formally separated, leading to the distinct identities and practices that characterize them today.
