The rise of the Roman Catholic Church?
A: First, as a Catholic, I take issue with the term "Roman Catholicism" or "Roman Catholic." That term did not come into existence until the Protestant Reformation. The term was created by Protestants to describe The Catholic Church. Earliest use of the term was the 16th Century. The Catholic Church Herself does not accept this "qualifier."Example 1: The Catechism of The Catholic Church is not titled: The Catechism of The Roman Catholic Church. There's a reason for that -- such a title would be theologically inaccurate and misleading.Example 2: when referring to The Orthodox Church, we do not call Her The Russian Church or The Greek Church. To do so is inaccurate and dismissive/insulting because The Orthodox Church does not describe Herself by such "qualifiers."Technically, there is no such thing as "the Roman Catholic Church."Second: therefore, the answer to your question is: The Catholic Church "rose" -- came into actual/official existence -- at Pentecost.

What are the similarities between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church?
First of all, you have to define things. There are two kinds of eastern churches; or you could just as well say there are two kinds of Catholic churches. The Eastern churches are:Eastern Catholic rites (Byzantine, Maronite, e.g.)Eastern Orthodox ChurchOr you could say the Catholic Church comprises: Western Catholic rites (Roman [or Latin], e.g.)Eastern Catholic rites (Byzantine, Maronite, e.g.)Depending upon how they are defined, the Catholic Church has over 20 different rites. The largest, by far, of all rites is the (Western) Roman rite. The largest Eastern rite is the Byzantine. Technically, it is incorrect to refer to all of Catholicism as Roman Catholicism. However, since the headquarters of all of Catholicism is in Rome, in that geographical senseit is correct, but doesn't make much sense to say so, since there isn't any other Catholicism. As to similarities and differences, that question has been answered elsewhere. But as a generalization you could say that Eastern Churches seem more alike on the surface (appearance, traditions, etc.), but that Western and Eastern Catholic rites are more like each other in the deeper sense (doctrine).
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.
