Understanding the Eastern Christian Churches
UNDERSTANDING THE EASTERN CHRISTIAN CHURCHES John M. Samaha SM Introducing the Question When you think of the Church, what image comes to mind? What image do you think the average Catholic forms when the Church is mentioned? Usually the image is that of a highly centralized, worldwide institution with headquarters in Rome. Or, of one's neighbourhood parish church. All in the West who share the heritage of European civilization tend to identify the Catholic Church with the Latin Rite (Roman Rite). Similarly, Eastern Orthodox and other Eastern Christians may think of the church of their own country of origin with its chief bishop and centre in the ancient capital city. Seldom do we think of the church as the Mystical Body of Christ, the Head united with his many, diverse groups of members comprising the People of God. Attitudes among Eastern Catholic and Orthodox peoples not only stem from their strong national feelings, but are also deeply rooted in their ecclesiastical history and religious thought. For while the one, holy, catholic, arid apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ is unified, the Church certainly is not uniform in all aspects. Basic Understandings To understand clearly the situation it is important to establish basic understanding of some fundamental points. In the context of studying the Church, a rite refers to a local Church or specific tradition, not to ceremony or ritual. A particular Church means a style or way of living Christianity, a cultural mentality toward practicing the Gospel, a community of faith with a distinct, ancient tradition. 18 John M. -

A full programme, oganized expertly by Henri Boulad (PRO), kept the 30 particpants (from all six continents) busy throughout the working days and evenings, and on the Sunday the group was able to visit the Coptic Orthodox Monastery of St. Makarios. A message from Fr. General underlined the importance of the ecumenical venture among the Society's priorities, and a select number of the participants had been involved with the group since its inception. The agenda ranged widely, focussing in part on ecumenical issues in the complex ecclesial reality of the Middle East, but also on recent developments in the wider ecumenical sphere. We had the opportunity to meet with clergy and laypeople from the Coptic Orthodox and Coptic Evanglical churches, as well as with Muslims. Jacques Masson (PRO) and Christian van Nispen (PRO), with their long years of experience and study of the Church in Egypt introduced us to various of its aspects. Jacques Masson surveyed some of the ecumenical history of the oriental Churches and agreements reached especially among the Chalcedonian and non- Chalcedonian churches in recent years. Victor Chelhot (PRO) from Damascus presented developments in the local attempts to remove the obstacles to unity between the Greek Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches of Antioch. -

Greek Melkite Catholic Patriarchate of Antioch: Birth, Evolution, and Current Orientations
GREEK MELKITE CATHOLIC PATRIARCHATE OF ANTIOCH: BIRTH, EVOLUTION, AND CURRENT ORIENTATIONS Abdallah Raheb, BAO translated by Nicholas J. Samra It would be very simplistic to approach the question of the existence of the Greek Melkite Catholic Patriarchate of Antioch by beginning with Cyril Tanas, the first juridical Catholic Melkite Patriarch, who was elected and consecrated in 1724. In order to dissipate the confusion on the subject of this patriarchate, which most easterners and westerners want to consider a purely “national” Church, let us begin by its identification. 1) WHO ARE THE MELKITES? Without entering into the complex question of the ethnology1 of the Melkites, it is sufficient to state exactly that the name “Melkite” was applied by the Monophysites to all the followers of the Council of Chalcedon (451) from the three Patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem2 without distinction of Greek or Syrian race.3 Thus we see that it was not only an exclusive designation for the Greek Catholics of the three mentioned patriarchates, but also for all Greek speaking and Arabic speaking faithful of these three patriarchates of the Byzantine rite.4 Recently valid experts of their history have tried to give an exact name to those who are called Melkite Catholics. In an excellent study, Rev. Peter Rai5 prefers the name “Orthodox-Catholic”6 but only in their 1 Cf. on this subject, Karalevskij: “Origines ethnologiques du peuple melkite” in DHGE (Dictionnaire d'Histoire et de Géographie Ecclesiastique), Vol. III, col. 585-589.

Católicos De Rito Não-Latino E a Questão Do Celibato Clerical, 89-106
Revista Brasileira de História das Religiões. ANPUH, Ano X, n. 30, Janeiro/Abril de 2018 - ISSN 1983-2850 / Católicos de rito não-latino e a questão do celibato clerical, 89-106 / Católicos de rito não-latino e a questão do celibato clerical Youssef Alvarenga Cherem1 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4025/rbhranpuh.v10i30.37982 Resumo: Vemos esporadicamente reacender-se o debate sobre a obrigatoriedade do celibato do clero católico. No entanto, os católicos orientais sempre mantiveram, da mesma forma que os ortodoxos, a tradição de ordenação de homens casados. Em 2013, em uma audiência, o Papa Francisco afirmou oficialmente pela primeira vez a permissão para ordenação de sacerdotes de ritos orientais no ocidente. Este artigo ressalta a posição das Igrejas orientais, particularmente a Igreja Rutena e a Igreja Melquita, ambas de rito bizantino, na reafirmação de suas tradições eclesiais e teológicas a respeito do celibato clerical. Palavras-chave: católicos orientais; celibato clerical; melquitas; rutenos. Eastern Catholics and the issue of clerical celibacy Abstract: The debate about mandatory celibacy among Catholic clergy resurfaces sporadically. However, Oriental Catholics have always kept the same tradition of the Orthodox of ordaining married men as priests. In 2014, in an audience, Pope Francis affirmed officially for the first time, the permission for ordaining married priests of the Oriental rites in the West. This article focuses on the position of the Oriental churches, particularly the Ruthenian Church and the Melkite Church, both Byzantine-rite churches, reaffirming their ecclesiastical and theological traditions on clerical celibacy. Keywords: Eastern Catholics; clerical celibacy; Melkites; Ruthenians. Católicos orientales y la cuestión del celibato clerical Resumen: Vemos esporádicamente reavivar el debate sobre la obligatoriedad del celibato del clero católico. -
