@Deleted User 34578fb24a name of document or google search?
For the Council of Lyons, or a history about byzantine catholics?
byantine Cat.?
should I just search up their history?
closest you might get to important politicla figures is pro-unionists towards the end of the empire
overall there's not much covering the specific subject
ah ok
yeah
conversion to catholicism went out the window after Manuel II if I recall
oh i see.
in short theyre catholic and practiceable by catholics?. I mean I love Latin Rite but I heard of a Catholic who is going to attend one, i just wasnt sure.
you mean traditional latin mass?
yeah
They're basically orthodox in communion with Rome, same byzantine traditions etc but just as Catholic as you and I
you can go to a byz cath church and receive all the sacraments whenever, going to their divine liturgy counts as sunday obligation too
yeah, I'm more familiar with the history of the Empire and it's religion rather then modern day byz-catholics
they're a perfect example of how the church is truly catholic - meaning universal
most of us are Roman Catholics, but one doesn't have to be Roman to be Catholic
oh omay
okay*
I mean
the word Catholic means universal in greek
Roman is pretty based
wow that is super interesting
yeah, and the Pope is roman so the roman church will always have some degree of authority
imagine the church before the schism
every single christian was catholic
well
apart from heretics
I mean there's the case of seperation for middle eastern and greek rites
but most of that's geographical seperation
I mean ive observed from youtube an EO liturgy and didnt capture much of my attention however this is interesting knowledge
be careful on whether its EO or Eastern Catholic because they appear pretty much identical, same traditions etc
The Roman Rite will always be the church I love.
if you were planning to go an recieve sacraments that is
yeah, its very very difficult to switch rites also
I probably wouldnt, the people and canons have been very good to me at my parish
but thank you @Orrbit and @Deleted User 34578fb24a for that clearing up
