Explain the argument between the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. What were its origins and how did it end? I know of about a million links that just confuse me so can you give a short answer?

These two churches are essentially the same. Eastern Orthodox is based in Greece and believes themselves to be the one and only holy Christian church. The Roman Catholic Church is the largest Christian church in the world. Both look to the Pope as the leader but only Roman Catholics see him as infallible.
