Correct belief. A term used for the mainstream church in East and West until the Church split. Subsequently the term came to refer to the Eastern churches in communion with Constantinople. While the term Catholic, also originally used to refer to the church both in the East and West, came to refer solely to the Roman Catholic Church.

One of the major divisions within Christianity (the others being Roman Catholicism, Anglicanism and Protestantism). It consists of 15 autocephalous churches. Each is headed by a bishop; most are related to a specific country, as in Serbian, Russian and Greek Orthodox. The Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches had been drifting apart in belief, practice and ritual for centuries before they formally split in 1054 CE. Each now regards themselves to be the only true Christian church.
