How do Orthodox Christians feel different from Catholics?

I personally feel different in the sense that i don't get so touched by their music/hymns.
It doesn't feel that divine to me.

Orthodox Church is far less political. Orthodox church would not enter in debates with politicians or science.

Orthodox Church is less political because it is not centralized and that is good. At least in Serbia I think church doesn't have significant influence on politics.

Orthodox churches are extremely political, especially Serbian.

The Catholic Church is more of an organization while the Orthodox Church is actually a church. The Roman Catholic Church is associated with a lot of perversions such as gay orgies and pedophila it’s pretty disguising and disturbing shit. I have nothing against normal catholic people but the church is pretty fucked up and heretical.

It does. Jesus said to Peter than upon him he will build his church. Branch of Christianity in Europe is indeed a club, a tradition and a faith.

Orthodox Churches aren't attacked by radical left because nobody cares for them, they are nowhere near to power of Catholicism.

I would like to know what this statement is based on.
