Description

Providing an overview of the four original Eastern Catholic traditions (Antiochian, Alexandrian, Byzantine, and Armenian), this book explores the similarities and differences between the Roman and Eastern Churches. Building on Pope John Paul II's apostolic letter "The Light of the East (Orientale Lumen)", this new publication is designed to promote a greater understanding of the experience of Eastern Catholics in this country. From the U.S. bishop's Committee on the Relationship Between Eastern and Latin Catholic Churches.
