What was the difference between the eastern and western Christian worlds?

The Western Christian world – Catholics (from the middle of the 11th century) and Protestants (from the 16th century), the Eastern – Russia, Byzantium (until the middle of the 15th century), patriarchs in Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria. Plus Serbia and Bulgaria in the Balkans.

Differences:

The Pope was the leader of Western Christendom. Until the 19th century, he had the whole Papal Region in Italy, and now – the Vatican. Protestants did not have a single head of the church.

Popes actively intervened in the political life of, for example, the Holy Roman Empire, and the patriarchs, for example, in Russia did not have such influence since 1589, from the beginning of the 18th century the Synod ruled the church.

Protestants did not have monasteries and lavish decorations in churches; Catholics had an inquisition and indulgences.

The dogmatics and types of heretical movements were different. In Russia in the middle of the 17th century there was a schism in the Church, while Catholics in those days did not observe this.
