The Patriarchate of Constantinople is only one jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church. There are also jurisdictions in Syria [under the Antiochan patriarchate], Alexandria and Africa [under the Alexandrian Patriarchate, Russia and Ukraine [under the Moscow Patriarchate, though the the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is currently outlawed in Ukraine], Georgia, Jerusalem [which is the topic above], Serbia, Romania, and some other regional canonical jurisdictions I might not be able to remember at the top of my head.

The Orthodox Church in the East regards itself as "Roman" in the sense of how it was the officially recognized Church by the Roman Empire after St. Constantine's conversion to Christianity, and by the continuation of the Eastern Roman Empire [retroactively known today as the Byzantine Empire] after the Western half of the Roman Empire collapsed.

It regards itself as "Catholic" in the sense that it sees itself as the Universal Church, the fullness of the faith.

However, in the aftermath of the Great Schism, "Roman Catholicism" with regards to the Papacy of the Vatican, headquartered in Rome, Italy, is considered to be a heretical sect that split off from the rest of the whole Church during the middle ages. [1054 A.D. is the year when the Great Schism is formally attributed to have happened.] This schism is a byproduct of the Latin Papacy's alterations to Church Dogma and ecclesial practice.

The main controversy between Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism originates at the notion of Papal Supremacy, and the addition of the Filioque clause to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed. Though since then, the Papacy has brought about even more doctrinal alterations and innovations.

Church History is a rather complicated subject, but this is the general summary.
