Catholic and not Latin; in union with Rome but not Roman - the ancient union of Byzantine East and Latin West




"Dear brothers from Rome, one can be Catholic without being Latin. And we were attacked on two fronts, Catholic-Latin and Orthodox-Byzantine. And we said: No, dear brothers, one can be Ukrainian, one can be Byzantine, one can be at the same time Catholic. These different elements do not contradict one another.” — Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky, O.S.B.M.
