| Â | Byzantine Catholic Church in America |
 | | Byzantine Catholics are witnesses to the reality of the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ, and follow Christ, in and with Him, to His heavenly Kingdom in the Divine Liturgy, the principal liturgical service of the Byzantine Church. | | | Byzantine Christian Worship: God With Us Byzantine Catholic worship joyfully celebrates the presence of the Kingdom of God on Earth in and through its divine services and liturgical life. | | | Byzantine Catholics are followers of Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of the Living God, who in His great mercy came into the world and assumed our human nature by becoming a man so that He could save us from our sins by His passion, death, resurrection and glorious ascension to Heaven. |

| Â | BYZANTINE CHURCH AND CULTURE by Archbishop Joseph Raya |
| | Byzantine church worship feels the breath of the Holy Spirit, awakening us to our real God-worthy self. | | | Byzantine Christians today, both Orthodox or Catholic, need to cherish, revive, restore and develop further these values in their living of their faith as they spread the Gospel of Christ | | | Displayed in the ceremonies of Byzantine monasteries or in the humblest church, the elegance of worship becomes dazzling brilliance, splendor and glory for the people of God who share in it. |

| Â | HISTORY of the Byzantine Catholic Church |
| | Church, established by Jesus Christ, was spread across the world after the descent of Holy Spirit. | | | Byzantine priests were not equal coram state with Latin priests. | | | After the foundation of the Apostolic Exarchate in Kosice there are also great expectations of founding another Byzantine Catholic see and eventually the founding of an independent archeparchy of the Byzantine Catholic Church in Slovakia. |

| Â | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Greek Church |
| | Thus the Ruthenian Church of Galicia, the Rumanian Church of Austria-Hungary, the Bulgarian Church of Turkish Bulgaria, the Melchite Church of Syria, the Georgian Church, the Italo-Greek Church, and the Church of the Greeks in Turkey or in the Hellenic Kingdom -- all of them Catholic -- are often called the United Greek Churches. | | | Beyond and within the limits of the Roman Empire two other Churches had secured autonomy and broken with the Greek Churches; these were the Persian and the Armenian Churches, offshoots from the Church of Antioch. | | | Thus the Russian Church, separated from Rome, is an Eastern Church; in the same way the Greek Catholics who live in Italy, and are known as Italo-Greeks, make up an Eastern Church also. |

| Â | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Byzantine Empire |
| | The schism between the Eastern and Western Churches thus reveals a fundamental opposition of viewpoints: the mutually antagonistic ideas of the universal Church and of independent national churches — an antagonism which both caused the schism and constitutes the insurmountable impediment to reunion. | | | The Byzantine imperial Church at last found itself almost exclusively confined to the Greek nation and its subjects. | | | As to the share which Byzantine ecclesiastical development had in this isolation, it must be conceded that the constitution of the Eastern Church was rather imperial than universal. |

| | To be married in the Greek church, non-Orthodox brides or grooms must have been baptized in the name of the Trinity, either at another church or through conversion to the Orthodox faith, he said. | | | "The spiritual tradition is like a tree that produces new branches but (with all) feeding from the same source." All Christian churches and denominations share a common origin. | | | But the structure and form of the liturgy is the same as it has been for centuries, with most of the blessings and prayers -- and Communion preparation -- performed by priests behind a partition called the iconostasis. |
