Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer choices for the question: On which did the Roman Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox Church disagree, would be: Interpretation of the Gospels, Papal supremacy (as the main feature) and icons.

Explanation:

The division of the Eastern and Western Catholic Church into what is today known as the Greek Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church took place around 1054, with a schism whose origins were caused by a difference of opinion as to who should be the leader of the Church, to the differences on how to interpret not just the Gospels, but also, on different doctrines. Maybe the two major reasons why these two separated were one, that the Roman Catholic Church upheld certain doctrines that the Orthodox did not agree with, like the doctrine on the Virgin Mary and the Holy Trinity, and also the supremacy of the Pope. The Roman Catholics uphold that the Pope is the supreme head of the Church as established by Christ, while the Orthodox believe in a conciliary model. Icons were also a dividing point as it is generally viewed that Catholics idolize icons and most other Christians, including Orthodox, believe this is idolatry and therefore unacceptable.
