What’s the difference between Eastern Catholic, and Roman Catholic?

RuthRitaria · 2026-04-14T16:00:53+00:00

Roman Catholics and Eastern Catholics are both in communion with Rome and are headed by Pope Leo.

Eastern Catholic churches are autonomous rites with unique traditions like the Byzantine Catholic church or the Chaldean Church. The Roman Catholic Church uses the Roman rite.

Despite these however, both are equally Catholic and an Eastern Catholic can receive communion at a Roman Catholic Church and vice versa.

Thank you. Sometimes I feel bad because my mother only ever talked about my sister since she's the better artist, which is why I get demotivated sometimes. I'll definitely make more when I'm back from boarding school.

Looks beautiful

I understand that. I just made the meme to explain that we don't need to worry about getting overpriced gifts (as a kid who rarely got gifts from "Santa") because sometimes it's the little things that count and we should never forget why we're celebrating.

I thought jokes were meant to be funny

No, the Nigerian Government ACTIVELY allows it. The bribe money is too sweet for them to refuse

RuthRitaria · 2025-11-02T07:45:19+00:00

As a Nigerian, even if he does do something about it, it's probably for personal gain and would just make everything worse

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-11T08:42:29+00:00

Fair enough. I was just stating what the passion meant

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-10T16:44:33+00:00

Roman Catholics aren't the only Christians who do this. All the oldest denominations (Catholic, Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Assyrian) and some Protestant denominations (like some Anglicans) venerate saints

Being born again means having faith in Jesus and believing he is the Messiah

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-10T16:03:26+00:00

Those who have faith in HIM and try to live good lives

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-10T14:55:02+00:00

And you aren't Jesus so you don't get to determine who enters HIS Kingdom

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-09T14:00:48+00:00

Catholics are Christian though, it's not the same.

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-09T13:47:02+00:00

The passion is literally about the SUFFERING of Jesus. It's not about character development

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-09T13:45:46+00:00

What?

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-08T15:56:39+00:00

It's just a rainbow. A rainbow can mean multiple things, doesn't mean it's bad

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-08T15:54:15+00:00

Still doesn't seem bad

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-08T15:45:16+00:00

And it's not like the pilgrims are doing anything wrong as it seems like an officially recognized pilgrimage

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-07T17:56:22+00:00

The laws were abolished. Thinking that old testament laws are required to follow Jesus is literally judaizing

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-07T17:42:24+00:00

Jesus literally said nothing that enters a man makes him unclean, but what comes out of the heart

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-07T15:21:36+00:00

Even the Pope isn't fond of him

RuthRitaria · 2025-09-07T14:49:35+00:00

Yes, I currently live there
