[email protected] What’s in a Rite? As Transfiguration will be hosting a Ukrainian Catholic Mission for the foreseeable future, we wanted to give you a little information on these, our sister churches. The following was kindly provided by Kevin Toole, a member of the mission. Catholics are generally unaware that they have millions of coreligionists who are not themselves part of the Roman Catholic Church. Indeed, even the term "Roman Catholic" isn't quite right, it was actually a derogatory label assigned to us by Anglican Protestants, trying to legitimize their own use of the term Papal Coat of Arms "Catholic" over and against that foreign Church loyal to the pope of Rome. In point of fact, the Catholic Church directly under the jurisdiction of Rome is properly and canonically termed the Latin Church. All official Church documents simply use the term, "Catholic Church." And contrary to popular belief, most of the day-to-day work performed by the Holy Father is not in his role as pope and pastor of the Universal Church but in his position in the Latin Church as the bishop of Rome and the patriarch of the West. It remains a deep and abiding tragedy that Orthodox and Catholic sister Churches in the Apostolic Faith remain at odds. Any semblance of official reunion will take time; many Orthodox Churches still struggle to discover their own identity after generations of control by tsars, kings, sultans, nationalism, communism, and the new emergence of evangelicalism and renewed Islamic militancy.
