What is a Byzantine Ukrainian Catholic Church?
Byzantine Christians are those whose traditions, theology and spirituality from from the early Church in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Most Eastern Christians are commonly called Orthodox.
Byzantine Catholics are those who proudly maintain their rich Eastern (Orthodox) liturgical, spiritual and theological ways, and yer are in full and visible communion with the Roman Catholic Church. We recognize the leadership of the Pope of Rome, but are not ourselves Roman Catholic.
