If they were, then they'd be called Eastern Catholic

Unless maybe you guys call them something different

As far as my knowledge goes there are some Eastern churches (referred as Catholics though) here in Greece but there are few

In English when we say Orthodox we are talking about Eastern and Oriental Orthodox that are not in communion with Rome and split in 1054

Yeah those are the ones I mentioned last night, we call them Eastern Catholic but they kept the same liturgical rites when they returned

ahh I see

The only ones we have in America are from historic immigrant communities like Greeks

interesting didn't knew that

There's usually like ONE in each major city, maybe two

Funnily though even Orthodox has a schism nowdays with the russian church too

If an Orthodox went to one they probably wouldn't notice any difference. Except the filioque and the Pope

And our Biblical Canon is slightly smaller

They use koine Greek or latin?

About half of them use Greek

I see, well I learned something new today lol

Alexandrian rite uses Coptic

They're from Egypt, Eritrea, and Ethiopia

There are coptics in america?

Yes

I knew for egypt etc

But most of the Coptic Catholics are in Africa

oh America is kinda diverse I see

Armenian Catholics use Armenian, and are from Lebanon

Pretty much everything between Greece and Russia uses Greek liturgy

I see,

I want to see how the schism with russia is going to end

Chaldean Catholics use Syriac, from Iraq, there's Indian Catholics using that rite also

Because right now Orthodoxism is divided a lot

And some around Lebanon

18 million ECs and 1.2 billion RCs, 1.5% to 98.5%

How do Orthdox settle those disputes without schism?

I don't even know

If two patriarchs or bishops disagree, who is right?

currently the church of constantinople has a schism with the russian church

Mostly in the byzantine era the bishop of constantinople had jurisdriction over the other churches, but after the byzantine fall they got independent

jurisdiction*

So he filled basically the same role as our Bishop of Rome

It was a form of ecclesiastical entity and its parishes

So in every region the lower parishes were governed by a bishop

but every bishop/metropolitan etc are independent

no one has a say to them
