ArchivedReality v.s. TraditionAieno Wrote The Eastern Rite Churches are also called Eastern Rite Church, Eastern Catholic Church or Uniate. The main churches include: Armenian Catholic Church; Chaldean Catholic Church (part of the Nestorian tradition); Maronite Church; Melkite Greek Catholic Church; Coptic Catholic Church (a small part of the total Coptic Church); Syrian Catholic Church. By its affiliation with the Catholic Church, they differ from other churches in the same region, the so-called Orthodox and the Independent churches. By defining the Eastern Rite Churches as of their own rite, they have retained a certain degree of independence. But they have had to accept the core of the Catholic faith: The 7 sacraments, baptism, confirmation, Eucharist, penance; anointing or extreme unction, holy orders or ordination and matrimony and the pope as the supreme head of the church. Aieno Wrote But the liturgy, sacred art, organization and canon law are specific to each church. One of the most notable differences is that the clergy is allowed to marry. I wouldn't have a problem as I am a Maronite Catholic Like I said its a custom not part of doctrine. Peace |
