Did you know that the Catholic Church is actually a communion of over twenty "Ritual" Churches, Eastern and Western, each of which shares the same Faith, although with a different way of expressing it. The largest of these Churches is the Latin (Roman) Church, to which our Cathedral of St. Patrick belongs. There are also over twenty Eastern Churches, with their own liturgical tra- dition, spirituality, theological expression and canonical disciplines, all the while being in full communion with the Pope and the Latin Church. St. Basil the Great Parish in Charlotte is one example of this. The Second Vatican Council teaches the following: “The Holy Catholic Church, which is the Mystical Body of Christ, is made up of the faithful who are organically united in the Holy Spirit by the same faith, the same sacraments, and the same government, and who, combining together into various groups which are held together by a hierarchy, form separate Churches or Rites. Between these there exists an admirable bond of union, such that the variety within the Church in no way harms its unity; rather it mani- fests it…” “These individual Churches, whether of the East or the West, although they differ somewhat among themselves in rite ... that is, in liturgy, ecclesiastical discipline, and spiritual heritage, are, nevertheless, each as much as the others, entrusted to the pastoral government of the Roman Pontiff, the divinely appointed successor of St. Peter in primacy over the universal Church. They are consequently of equal dignity, so that none of them is superior to the others as regards rite, and they enjoy the same rights and are under the same obligations, also in respect of preaching the Gospel to the whole world under the guidance of the Roman Pontiff.” “The Catholic Church holds in high esteem the institutions, liturgical rites, ecclesiastical traditions and the established standards of the Christian life of the Eastern Churches, for in them, distinguished as they are for their venerable antiquity, there remains conspicuous the tradition that has been handed down from the Apostles through the Fathers, and that forms part of the divinely revealed and undivided heritage of the universal Church.” (Orientalium Ecclesiarum, Dec. on the Eastern Cat. Churches, 1-3). FAITH FORMATION MEN’S BOOK CLUB FOR CHILDREN Interested in reading some good books?
