| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Eastern Churches |
| | Eastern Churches depend originally on the Eastern Empire at Constantinople; they are those that either find their centre in the patriarchate of that city (since the centralization of the fourth century) or have been formed by schisms which in the first instance concerned Constantinople rather than the Western world. | | | Eastern Church, 326); the ludicrous scandal at Monastir, in Macedonia, when they fought over a dead man's body and set the whole town ablaze because some wanted him to be buried in Greek and some in Rumanian (op. | | | This is a national Church in the strictest sense of all: except for the large Armenian Catholic body that forms the usual pendant, and for a very small number of Protestants, every Armenian belongs to it, and it has no members who are not Armenians. |

| | The Armenian Church is frequently considered by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches to be monophysite, along with the Coptic, Abyssinian, Syriac, and Indian churches, which as a group are often called the Lesser Orthodox Churches. | | | The Armenian priests, as typical in the Eastern Church, are divided into the monastic and parish clergy, with all the hierarchs coming from the former group. | | | In doctrine, the Armenian church continues to follow the orientation of the church of Alexandria, principally as found in the teachings of the Cappadocian fathers. |

| | Research Paper on Orthodox Religious Groups in the United States |
| | The common element among Oriental Orthodox Churches that distinguishes them from the Eastern Orthodox Churches is their rejection of the christological definition of the 4th Ecumenical Council of Chalcedon (A.D. 451), which asserted that Christ is one person in two natures, undivided and unconfused. | | | Indeed, the patterns of development of the Orthodox jurisdictions in North America are closely connected with the history of ethnically diverse communities of Orthodox immigrants who came to USA because of various reasons, at different times and from many countries of Central and Eastern Europe and from the Middle East. | | | These are the Orthodox Church in America (until 1970, it was a Metropolia of the Russian Orthodox Church), the Russian Orthodox Church outside of Russia and the Patriarchal parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church. |

| | An Eastern Catholic belonging to the Armenian, Chaldean, Maronite, Melkite, Romanian, Ruthenian, Syrian, or Ukrainian Churches marrying a baptized person who is not a member of the Catholic Church or an unbaptized person; a bishop of the Latin Church has no authority to permit such a marriage or grant a dispensation for it. | | | For many Latin Catholics, the mention of Eastern or Oriental Churches is understood as a reference to "the Orthodox Churches," to those Churches of the East that are not in full communion with the Catholic Church governed by the successor of Peter and the bishops in communion with him. | | | Those Eastern Catholics who do not have their own eparchy or exarchate established in the USA are placed under the jurisdiction of the local Latin bishop and may be validly dispensed by him. |

| | The Ukrainian Catholic church entered into communion with Rome in 1596, and is the largest of 24 Eastern Catholic churches, including Armenian, Melkite, Romanian and Chaldean Catholics. | | | Later in the 14th century, through the missionary activities of the Franciscan and Dominican orders, a "latinizing movement" gained ground among "liberal elements in the Armenian Church." However, it was only in the 19th century, during the Ottoman period, that the Armenian Catholics became a millet--an autonomous Church affiliated with Roman Catholicism. | | | But, aside from that link with Rome, the Eastern Catholic churches are little different from the 16 Eastern Orthodox churches, with their 300 million followers. |

| | There are also Eastern Rite Catholics whose liturgy is similar to that of the Orthodox, and also allow married men to be ordained as priests, but who recognize the Roman Pope as the head of their church. | | | However, in the Eastern rite married men are admitted as diocesan priests, but not as bishops or monastic priests; and on rare occasions married priests converting from other Christian groups have been permitted to be ordained in the Western rite. | | | Holy Orders is the entering into the priesthood and involves a vow of chastity; the sacrament of Holy Orders is given in three degrees: that of the deacon (since Vatican II a permanent deacon may be married before becoming a deacon), that of the priest, and that of the bishop. |

| | The unfortunate Eastern Schism or the breaking away of the Eastern Church from the Pope, the successor of St. Peter and Vicar of Christ on earth, started under the Greek patriarch Photius of Constantinople in 879, and was consummated by his distant successor Cerularious, also patriarch of Constantinople, in 1054. | | | In the Eastern Church we may distinguish five principal rites or liturgies, and there fore as many distinct Churches or denominations. | | | Thirdly, the Armenian rite and language is used exclusively by the people of the Armenian race in Asiatic Turkey, Persia, Russia, an the colonies in Hungary, Glacial and the Ukraine (about 2 ½ millions); also by the Catholic Armenians who count only about 100,00 souls. |

| | Orthodox acceptance of the seven councils resulted in the exclusion from their communion, on grounds of heresy, of the Nestorian, Jacobite, Coptic, and Armenian churches; it also involves holding a sacramental doctrine of grace ex opere operato (see grace) and of veneration of the Virgin Mary, two points differentiating the Orthodox from Protestants. | | | (Eastern Orthodox Church Easter service)(Living by the Word)(Column) | | | Eastern Christians who have returned to communion with the pope are called Eastern Catholics, or Uniates; in every respect apart from this obedience to Rome, they resemble their Orthodox counterparts. |
