The Orthodox Church worships the way Peter and the first church did. Due to the Great Schism, the Catholics follow this way of worshipping, but have modernized it a little. Orthodox Christians also follow the Julian calendar, except for Christmas, while the Catholics follow the Gregorian

Roman Catholic AnswerThey do not, actually, for every Orthodox sect, there is a corresponding Uniate Rite. When the Orthodox Christians when into schism, every single one of them split into two, one became "Orthodox" and is not in communion with Rome, and one half stayed in the Catholic Church. Thus there are nine Rites in the Catholic Church, of which the Latin Rite is only one, howbeit the largest one. Others include the Byzantine, Armenian, Chaldean, Coptic, Ethiopic, Malabar, Maronite, and Syrian rites. All of these, save the Latin and Maronite Rites are still used by Christians no longer in Communion with Rome, i.e. the Orthodox Christians. But there really is no difference in worship.

Is the Orthodox Church older than the Catholic Church?

The question is not fully correct,ill explain why? The Orthodox Churche(s) and the Roman Church both have apostolic succession therefore they are the same age and can trace their roots to christ. However the Catholic Church wanted to change doctrines,traditions,litrugy etc so they changed the original church and continued to add extra doctrines after the 1054 schism e.g pugartory,immaculate conception etc but the Orthodox Church hasn't changed anything or added any extra doctrines after the 1054 schism. So concluding the Orthodox and Catholic church are equally old but the Orthodox church is older in tradition,beliefs etc

When was the Orthodox Church invented.?

That's a bit difficult to explain. There was one church called 'The Catholic Orthodox church" it split into Orthodox and Catholic. However there are two Orthodox churches which both preserve the ancient teachings and traditions of the original church. Except have a different view of the divintiy of christ. The Eastern "Oriental' Orthodox church believes that christ has two natures but united while the Eastern Orthodox church believes that chirst has two natures but seperate. However,they both are the original church and have not changed the apostolic traditions. So the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Churches are equally old since they were both founded by one of the apostles,however the Orthodox church stayed true to the original churches beliefs and traditions. But they became referred to as "Orthodox" in 451 AD (Eastern "Oriental' Orthodox) and in 1054 (Eastern Orthodox)
