What are disagreements over saints icons and relics between the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches?
The dispute revolved around whats become known as iconclasm. It's been resolved, at least on the Western Church's side, for centuries. Initially, it wasn't so much about each others particular art, as it was in which of the 'pagan' art should be left un-smashed and unburned.
The difference in attitude was regarding interpretation of the 3rd commandment, having no other gods, nor making graven images. The Eastern Church preferred, then, to make their own religious images in 2 dimensions, where the Western Church allowed statues.
It was within an era of heated theological arguments and regrettable Christian disunity.
The presence of icons are well accepted, now, in Roman Catholic Churches, though their veneration is not part of that Church's tradition. Eastern Catholic Churches do retain those traditions of their Orthodox brethren.

What is Eastern Orthodox Catholic?
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
