Crisis Magazine: The Other Catholics: A Short Guide to the Eastern Catholic Churches
So who are these “other” Catholics? They have their own hierarchies and liturgies, as well as their own distinct apostolic lineages. They may look and act like Eastern Orthodox churches, but they recognize the pope of Rome as the head of the visible Church on earth and have suffered for the cause of that unity.
Meet the Catholic Churches. There are more of them than you think.
A nice introduction to the east. Personally, I would find it hard to belong to a Church that counted only 2,345 members (The Greek Catholic Church in Greece), but I am fascinated by this overlooked part of the Church.
