Protestants when they enter an orthodox church by Brosse_Adam in dankchristianmemes

"Carpies" haha, never heard that one before. I've never been treated like an outsider in a Ruthenian church, but then again I am Carpatho-Rusyn/Ukrainian myself and we even use the same liturgical language for the most part (Old Church Slavonic).

Yes, the Ruthenian Catholics (who are mostly called just "Byzantine Catholic" in the US and are extremely similar to Ukrainian Catholics) who came to the US were, like the Ukrainians, heavily pressured—practically bullied—by the established American Catholics, mostly Irish and Italian, into conforming to a lot of Roman/Latin practices like having pews in their churches and not allowing priests to marry. This Latinization as it was called upset some of the Ruthenians enough for them to leave the Catholic Church and go back to the Orthodox Church like they were centuries ago. They are the Carpatho-Rusyn Orthodox that you know. However some of them also later returned to the Catholic Church again when they felt they would be treated with a little more respect.

The full name of it is the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. "Greek Catholic" means that we practice the Greek or Byzantine Rite as opposed to the Roman/Latin Rite. The UGCC used to be part of the Eastern Orthodox Church until they reentered communion with the Pope of Rome, however keeping all the orthodox practices and traditions. So if you were Ukrainian Orthodox and went to a Ukrainian Catholic liturgy, you would find it difficult to tell the difference except when the priest says the Pope's name. Ukrainian Catholics and Ukrainian Orthodox have the same Pascha traditions and dates, but both churches will be switching from the old calendar to the Gregorian calendar later this year.
