Eastern Catholicism
Eastern
Catholicism is a diverse branch of the Catholic Church that
adheres to Eastern Christian traditions. Consisting of 23
autonomous churches that combine full communion with the Pope
in Rome with distinct liturgical, theological, and cultural
characteristics, it is an essential part of the broader Catholic
communion. These churches trace their origins to the early
Christian communities of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the
majority belonged to other branches of Eastern Christian branches,
such as the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Oriental Orthodox
churches, before returning to communion with the Roman Catholic
Church.
