You have put the cart before the horse. The Eastern Orthodox split from the RCC. They did not like that pope thing nor the dogma used in the RCC. But one is about as useless as the other. Both were written by the same person.

The split was a long time in coming. the earliest problems actually went back to the proper dating of Easter with Irenaeus in the early 3rd century. The language barrier (East=Greek, West=Latin) was constantly causing problems too with the proper translation of creeds from one side to the other.

The eastern church says the split happened in 867 over the Filoque clause (Holy Spirit Preceding from the Father "and the Son") being added to the Creed. 1054 AD the Pope actually condemned the Eastern church, and they reciprocated, so many say that is the actual split date. The mutual condemnations were both lifted in 1965.

The Eastern Orthodox split from the Roman Catholic Church.

They split over what called the "soliloquy."

The foliage is the ?expression of the Procession of the Holy Spirit from both Father and Son as one Principle (Filioque)?. The Orthodox believe that the Holy Spirit comes from the Father only.

The omission by the Orthodox completely changes who the Holy Spirit is. To put it in laymen terms; it would be like telling you that you come only from your mother and her genes and that your father in no way aided to your development.

Another disagreement was over the Eucharistic bread. The Orthodox believed in the use of leavened bread as their Eucharistic offering during Divine Liturgy. The Roman Church however opposed using leavened bread during mass as their Eucharistic offering.

Finally there is the matter of the Pope versus the Patriarch. Many are aware of the Pope and his duties while ?in office?. He is the overseer of the Catholic Church, and while the Patriarch is considered the top of the Orthodox Church, it is more about a spiritual authority rather than jurisdiction over other Patriarchs as had been in the past. The Patriarch is looked up to by all Orthodox with deep devotion and respect because he is the principle link among all the churches.
