B is the answer. But the disagreement was much more fundamental. It had to do with trying to explain the Trinity, which seems like a silly thing to disagree on because of course it is a mystery, and who can explain a mystery anyway? Nonetheless, the Orthodox took the position that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father alone. And Catholics take the position that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Love between the Father and the Son. That whole issue is called the "foliage" which is Latin for "and the Son".
I am Catholic and I believe the Catholic position cause it makes a lot more sense in describing the Trinity and of course the Catholic Church has taught it infallibly, which means it is true. I just cannot see why for over 1000 years, we have been separated by this issue.
