Summary/Abstract: The aim of this Paper is to analyze the dogmatic differences between the two Christian churches - Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Religious differences have often burdened the interpersonal relations in the past in this region, with the members of both sides not knowing enough about the other. Consequently, through this work, we will try to argue arguments about the differences between these two great teachings. The first (shorter) part of the work will be dedicated to the great church split of 1054, after which there is a definite disagreement between Rome and Constantinople in terms of understanding the parts of Christ’s teachings. In the second part of the Paper, we will analyze the most important dogmatic differences between Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Some of these differences occurred even before the Great Schism, some of them were the cause of schism, while many differences were only created later, thanks to reforms within Roman Catholicism. The final part of the Paper will be devoted to the explanation of today’s relations between Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxy, then the possibilities of overcoming some of the dogmatic differences, as well as the significance of the very topic of tolerance among believers belonging to these confessions and who interact with each other in everyday life, especially in multi-confessional communities such as the Republic of Serbia .
