An Introduction to the Eastern Catholic Churches

with Fr. Thomas Loya

The Catholic Church is a communion of churches. It is made up of churches from the Eastern Tradition and Western Tradition. Every Catholic has a responsibility for understanding the fullness of the Catholic Church. Blessed Pope John Paul has said “the Church must learn to breathe again with its two lungs, its eastern and western one”
