Don't confuse with

カトリック教きょう会かい
カトリック教会 follows the Pope in Rome, whereas 正教会 (Eastern Orthodox Church) split off earlier and has no single Western head, so the two denominations should not be confused.

Etymology

Compound of 正 (sei, 'correct' or 'orthodox') and 教会 (kyōkai, 'church'), directly translating the concept of the Orthodox Church.
