Answer 1

The Western Christian Church being ruled by the Pope from Rome and the Eastern Orthodox Church being governed by the Patriarch of Constantinople is a correct distinction, as is the fact that there were differences in language and culture, with Latin being more influential in the West and Greek being more influential in the East. The idea of the Trinity and God's unity, however, is not a distinction between the Western Church and Eastern Orthodox Church, as both adhered to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. Additionally, while it is true that celibacy was traditionally required for priests in the West, there was also a longstanding tradition of married priests in the East.
