The break between the Orthodox churches and Rome is called the Great Schism. This means breakage or split and implies internal violence- like the words schizophrenia- split personality disorder, and not too removed from Seismic- dealing with earthquake shocks. It was a Big shock in l054. a Massive Nebula was also discovered in that year and was visible in Daylight in the Middle East- I believe it was the Crab Nebula, might have been then forming as a Nova of a spent star. Coincidence indeed.
the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church
schism.....
The Eastern Orthodox Church split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1054, in an event known as the Great Schism.
The Eastern Orthodox Church split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1054 due to disagreements over the authority of the Pope, theological differences, and cultural and political divisions between the East and West.
The split between the Eastern Orthodox and the western Catholic Churches was caused by a number of different factors. Namely, neither side could decide on the Pope's role in the church, or the scope of his authority.
No, the Pope is the head of the Roman Catholic church. The Ecumenical Patriarch is the head of the Eastern Orthodox Church.
the Eastern Orthodox Church
The Orthodox Churches and the Catholic Church were once united. The Orthodox Churches separated from the Catholic Church over political and doctrinal differences.
There are Eastern or Byzantine Rite Catholics but they are in full union with Rome as opposed to the Eastern Orthodox Churches which are not. There was a brief period in the 20th century, when a separate Orthodox Church broke away from the Eastern Orthodox Church in America and formed the America Orthodox Catholic Church. But it was yet another splinter of an already splintered Church. orthodox (small "O") means right belief, and thus is synonymous with Catholic. Now, there is also an Orthodox Catholic Church of America, also not in Communion with the Catholic Church. . You may read about the American Orthodox Catholic Church at the links below.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is sometimes known as the Western Church to distinguish it from the Eastern Orthodox Church.
The catholic church is sometimes considered the collection of churches that developed out of the Great Schism (namely, the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church). Although I have never heard someone use the term "catholic orthodox church," I would consider it to be referring to the Eastern Orthodox Christian religion.
Your question is too general. There are many things that were not a cause of tension between these belief systems. The colour of my dog for instance
