The question

Is "indulgences" the only difference between Orthodoxy and Catholicism?

The answer

Concerning the difference between the Coptic and the Roman Catholic churches, indulgences is just one of many differences. The Catholic doctrines of the Filioque, the Immaculate conception, the supremacy of the church of Rome, the purgatory, the celibacy of the priests are to name a few.
