To Classimami,
The Orthodox Church does not have a pope like the Roman Church, That is on e of the many "issues" the Roman Church develope on their own whic is why the rest of the Orthodox Churches an thr roman church are not in communion. They are considered added on dogma which conflict with the teachings of scripture or the Apostles. The Roman Church also as a response to the reformation which was brought on by these added on dogm's responded with trying to update and modernize the church like many protestants did and contine to do. The orthodox believe that the teachings are in no need of updating or modernizing. The teachings have remained the same since Christ began the Church on that day of Pentacost.
You did not say if you were Roman Catholic or did you just attend their school. Not being Catholic and going to their school you would most likeley not have a clue as to the full teachings. That would have been confusing.
here is a web site that talks briefly of the Orthodox Church and one that shows the difference's that developed between the Church causing the separation.

If you are of protestant it would take more than one web site to show the differences between Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant because there are as many dogma's and doctrines as there are Protestant Churches. It took me a long time and a lot of different churches to realize just how vast the differences were in the protestants and that it was growing faster than I could keep up.
