Are Byzantine Catholics just Orthodox LARPing under Rome? 🤔 Many claim they look, sound, and pray like Orthodox Christians—so why do they still remain under the Pope? In this video, we break down the history, theology, and controversies surrounding Byzantine Catholicism and its relationship with Eastern Orthodoxy.

From liturgical similarities to deep doctrinal divides, we explore whether Byzantine Catholics are truly Eastern or just playing dress-up. Let us know your thoughts in the comments!

Byzantine Catholicism Orthodox, Catholic, or both? In this video, we explore the fascinating and complex identity of the Byzantine Catholic Church. We delve into its theology, liturgical traditions, and historical roots, comparing its connections to both the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church. Most importantly, I point out the adjectival meaning of "orthodox" and "catholic" in the Crede.  From early Church Fathers to modern councils, this discussion covers a lot of ground to unpack what it means to be Byzantine Catholic today.
