Eastern Orthodox

See also Christianity, an Abrahamic religion. Split from Catholicism in 1054, this group has perhaps 300 million members. The added term ‘Eastern’ helps Westerners understand to whom they are referring, but they themselves omit it, adding names (e.g., Russian Orthodox) which representing their origin, language and ‘typica.’
