they came out of two different cultural contexts.

Catholics = Western Europe
Orthodox = Eastern/Byzantine/Greek Europe

I have read about Stoic philosophy, and the Orthodox believe that Apatheia is the ideal state of prayer iirc.
Is this an example of that?

In terms of everyday prayer and worship there are only a few practical differences. Orthodox are more likely to use traditional hymns, but htey both practice things like the Eucharist and the literal body of Christ, they both practice saint veneration. Orthodox use 2D icons rather than statues but do things like kiss them that a protestant would frown on.

They disagree on a few things but are united in their belief that early Christianity confirms their structure and theology.

I think the only reason protestants are not more against them is they really dont know much about the orthodox other than that they dont follow the pope.

The same abuse problems in catholicism are present in orthodoxy. They're just better at hiding it.

Mainly it's about questioning the Pope's primacy. Or the other way around. The Pope wanting to be above other Patriarchs because muh saint Peter.

There are some old videos of Frank Schaeffer explaining why he converted from protestantism to orthodoxy. Funny thing is he eventually grew disillusioned with orthodoxy and is now an atheist.

Unlike Catholics, who are somewhat more internationalistic, because they have huge amount of followers and they have one center, in Rome, Orthodox Churches may appear more "nationalistic", in a way that most of Srthodox nations have separate churches, with Lithurgy in national languages, and church is generaly looked as one of the pillars of nation, especially among us Slavs who suffered under foreign rule for a long time, since priests were to us what teachers were in the west. If you want to go in a more in depth analysis read about filioque. Also since you are American find some books by monk Seraphim Rose, American who converted to orthodoxy and touches many of the subjects you might be interested in.

Both are Catholic actually. The official name of Orthodoxy is Orthodox Catholic Church. And Catholic just means universal btw.

One is the Latin branch and the other the Greek branch that separated in the XI century in the Great Schism. Doctrinal theological stand is very similar between the two, the major differencess are in iconic aspects like the Pope-Patriarchs issue, celibacy and a bit of the liturgy.

Real question is how liberalized, Americanized, and HIV positive in general is Burguerdox Burch in Burguerland? Do they have snake handling and LGBT "priests" yet? Is MLK Jr. considered a saint and St. John Chrysostom excommunicated yet?

Protestants frown on kissing their own children. But maybe this is just an Anglo/nordcuck autistic phenomena
