 | | The Ukrainian Uniate Church was established in 1596 by the Union of Brest-Litovsk. | | | Like other Uniate churches, the Ukrainian Uniate Church maintains allegiance to the Roman Catholic Church while observing the rites of the Eastern Orthodox Church. | | | In 1946 at the Synod of Lvov the Uniates were forced to join the Russian Orthodox Church. |

| | Their union with the Catholic Church, in which they are sui iuris Churches, gives rise to the term Uniate, which is not used by the Vatican. | | | Western (or "Latin-Rite") Catholic bishops are subject directly to the Pope, but most Eastern-rite Catholic bishops are subject indirectly to the pope via one of six Catholic "patriarchs of the east", who sit in Alexandria, Antioch, Antelias, Baghdad, Beirut, and Damascus but who acknowledge the primacy of the Pope. | | | The faithful who use these rites are technically members of "Eastern Catholic Churches", not rites. |

| | Since the liturgies and life style of Orthodox and Uniate clergy are similar, the biggest obstacle to unifying these two churches has been the Orthodox unwillingness to submit to papal authority, which is unacceptable to the Byzantine understanding of decentralized governance and authority as currently practiced among their sister churches in Orthodoxy. | | | Nearly 87% of the Romanian population are members of the Romanian Orthodox Church, the remainder are Catholics, Uniates (sometimes known as Greek Catholics or Eastern Rite Catholics in communion with Rome) and Protestants, (consisting primarily of Reformed Calvinists, Baptists, and other smaller sects and cultic groups). | | | It seems that countervailing powers from the outside such as the Hapsburg Empire of Austria in the nineteenth century or Stalin’s communist legacy of the twentieth century which forced ethnic and religious groups to cooperate, were unable to suppress the essential differences that continue to surface. |
