WHAT DOES GREEK CATHOLIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?
Eastern Catholic Churches
The
Eastern Catholic Churches are autonomous, self-governing particular churches in full communion with the Pope. Together with the Latin Church, they make up the entire Catholic Church. They preserve many centuries-old Eastern liturgical, devotional, and theological traditions,which are in most cases shared with the various other Eastern Christian churches with which they were once associated, such as the Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodox Church. Some theological issues divide them from their counterparts of similar traditions that are not in communion with Rome. Accordingly, they admit members of such churches to the Eucharist and the other sacraments only in the circumstances indicated in canon law. Historically, Eastern Catholic Churches were located in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and India. Due to migration they are now also in Western Europe, the Americas and Oceania, where eparchies have been established alongside the Latin dioceses. The terms
Byzantine Catholic and
Greek Catholic are used of those who belong to Churches that use the Byzantine Rite.
