AnswerGreek Orthodoxy AnswerThe name of the religion practiced in the Byzantine Empire was Eastern Orthodoxy. AnswerPrior to the Great Schism of the eleventh century, the Byzantine Empire was Catholic, and nominally under, or at least aligned with, the Church of Rome. After that point, it was on its own, and called Eastern Orthodox. There were other Churches also called Orthodox, as the Oriental Orthodox and Coptic Orthodox were.
