The Greek Orthodox believes that every word of the bible is true. The roman catholic church believes in interpreting it.
None. The woman has very little to no role in both of them.
No difference. Everyone has premarital sex with no guilt and everyone threatens with hell. Greeks don’t even know what they believe in, by the way. Greeks NEVER read the bible. That’s the only difference that comes to mind. It’s more like a social thing than anything.
I think the roles are similar. While there is no formal liturgical role as deacon, priest or bishop for women, the local parish would absolutely collapse without them. Women make up most of the Church School (AKA Sunday School) teachers, run the philanthropic organization (indeed, make up most of its members), attend the services (!). Most priests and deacons are married; their wives are a tremendous source of aid and encouragement.
It is for these kinds of things and for their Christian witness that both churches have many female saints.
Women’s role is not liturgical, but is vitally important.
@John – read your Bible, and attend the services. In other words, be a practicing Orthodox Christian, not one who goes to church three times — to be baptized, to get married, and to be buried.
Blessings.

There is none I realy know of except an Orthodox woman can be married to a priest.
