The Orthodox Christian Church (also referred to as the Eastern Orthodox Church or Greek Orthodox Church) claims that it began in the year 33 AD, on the Day of Pentecost. At that time, there was no such thing as a Catholic or Orthodox Church, as everyone was part of the One Church. However, in 1054 AD, the West broke away and formed what is now known as the Roman Catholic Church. Following this, numerous Protestant groups were formed in the West, whereas the East remained united and unchanged, as the one Church that continued from 33 AD to the present day.

There are no "denominations" of the Catholic Church. One is either a Catholic or not. A Catholic is under the authority of the pope as the pope is the head of the church. There are other sects of the religion which are closely aligned theologically, but they are not Catholic and they are connoted as "Orthodox", such as the Russian Orthodox or the Greek Orthodox. Catholic Answer As the above answer points out, there are no denominations in the Catholic Church. However, there are historically different "rites" which are also know as Churches, although they are all Catholic Churches. Most of these Rites, particularly in the East, split in the eleventh century, so there is a Greek Orthodox Church and a Greek Uniate Church. The Greek Uniate Church is a "rite" in the Catholic Church under the Pope. A protestant might think these were denominations, as they appear very different, but they are not, and are all under the Pope.
In general, a member of the Greek Orthodox Church can remarry if their previous marriage has been dissolved by divorce or annulment. However, there may be certain restrictions or conditions depending on the circumstances and the guidance of the church authorities. It is advisable for individuals seeking a second marriage to consult with their priest or bishop for guidance and proper procedures.
