AnswerOne is the spiritual leader. Catholics have the Pope and the Orthodox have their Patriarch. Catholics make the sign of the cross with their right hand. Orthodox with their left b/c it's closer to the heart.
AnswerIn the beginning of Christianity, there was only one Church. As Christianity began to spread to the four corners of the known world, it was decided that there needed to be a "central" location from which to teach and congregate as well as a place for the office handed down from Jesus. "The keys to the kingdom". It was decided that Rome should be that location. However, that was not a unanimous decision. Almost half of the Church leaders thought that Constantinople should be where we should establish the "Physical" Church. Due to this argument, the now referred to "Orthodox Catholics" split off and denounced Papal authority. This was the first split from the Church Jesus established, but certainly not the last.

Orthodox do not make the cross with their left hand, it is with their right .

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.

Catholic AnswerThis is known in the Catholic Church as apostasy and is an automatic excommunication. If there is something you feel drawn to in the Greek Orthodox Church, then you should look into the Greek Uniate Church with is the part of the Greek Church which has always been in union with Rome (even after the Greek Orthodox left the Church).

Can an infant be baptized in the Catholic church yet be Orthodox his church yet retain an Orthodox membrshp?

No, baptism in the Catholic Church automatically means that you are bound to all the laws of the Rite in which you are baptized. Orthodox Churches are in schism, however, there is a Catholic Rite for each of the Orthodox Churches. When the Orthodox split, half of them remained with the Catholic Church, so there is a Greek Uniate Rite as well as a Greek Orthodox Church. A Catholic has no problem with going to the sacraments in another Rite.
