Eastern Catholic Churches
Eastern Catholic Churches share Catholic communion while preserving their own liturgies, theology, spirituality, governance, and disciplines. They are not simply Roman-rite communities with different ceremonial clothing. Learn each Church’s own identity and distinguish it from Eastern Orthodox Churches. Differences in initiation, married clergy, fasting, and the language of theology can be legitimate expressions of the same Catholic faith.
