What s main differences between them?

There are today a lot of theological differences, some big, some small. Here are a few:

1. filoque: Roman Catholics state that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father AND the Son. Orthodox Catholics state that the Holy Spirit proceeds ONLY from the Father.
2. papal authority: RCs grant the the head of the Church greater authority than OCs do. Following from this, RCs believe in papal infallability (when speaking for the Church, on religious matters, with the authority of St. Peter), and OCs do not.
3. Purgatory: RCs believe in it, OCs do not.
4. The Immaculate Conception of Mary (saying she was born without sin): RCs believe in it, OCs do not.

When they split, both Churches excommunicated each other. In recent years, there have been efforts made towards reconciliation, if not reunion. For instance, OCs are once again allowed to receive communion in RC churches.

Part 2: youtu.be This lecture was given at a meeting between Orthodox And Roman Catholics, in the Atlanta Metro Area. Clergy from sides attended ...

Scripture and Tradition give evidence of female deacons, why do the Orthodox and Catholics no longer allow them?

There is absolutely no reason not to restore the practice of female deacons.

The reason I said Non-Catholic/Orthodox Christians is because I know you use the sign of the cross. I was wondering do any other Christians out there use the sign of the cross or ever felt moved to do so.

In addition to the Catholic Church, the Sign of the Cross is prayed by the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches, and the Anglican and Lutheran Churches.

I open my hand and touch my brow, and say,
"In the name of the Father"

Then I touch my heart with my hand, and say,
"and of the Son."

I touch my shoulders left and right, and say,
"and of the Holy Spirit"

I say,
"Amen."

The Sign of the Cross is
+ A statement of belief in the Holy Trinity
+ A statement of belief in and thanksgiving for Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross
+ God blessing us
+ Us Blessing God ("I will bless the Lord at all times")
+ A prayer using your entire body
+ A Bible quote (Matthew 28:19)

"At every forward step and movement, at every going in and out, when we put on our our clothes and shoes, when we bathe, when we sit at table, when we light the lamps, on couch, on seat, in all the ordinary actions of daily life, we trace upon the forehead the sign (of the cross).
-- Tertullian, De Corona 211 C.E. http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/te xt/tertullian04.html

In French: Au nom du père, Et du fils, Et du Saint-Esprit. Amen.
In Latin: In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
In Spanish: En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. Amén.

I've been searching for differences between the two types of architectural styles but I can't find anything I can actually understand and I was wondering if someone could explain, simply, what are the main differences between Orthodox Churches and Catholic Churches except for the whole standing and sitting thing.
Thank you in advance!

Eastern Orthodox Churches have:
- domes
- iconostasises
- no sculptures
- are always built on the plan of circle, cross or square

This is kind of odd because I have Lutheran Grandmothers, Catholic Grandfathers and other members of my family are Russian Orthodox. What's the difference between Catholic (Eastern European), and Russian Orthodox?

The Ministry of Saint Peter the Pope.

Both agree in a unique ministry for the Pope, but disagree with the range of authority. Very close to bridging this gap between this great schism of over a 1000 years. Pray that we may be One Body in Christ completely.
