Originally posted by DavidB, the Byzantine Catholic: Originally posted by incognitus: Warm congratulations to Bishop John and Father Joseph. However, a correction: Father Joseph is most definitely NOT the first married Byzantine Catholic priest ordained in the USA. Bishop Soter ordained some, Bishop Basil (Takach) ordained some, and others have been ordained recently.
(Hint: the expression "Byzantine Catholic" is not the exclusive property of any one jurisdiction!)
Incognitus Time for me to poke with a stick.
Check this link out.

Its to the Byzantine Catholic Eparchy of Parma.
It appears that our Church has decided to drop the "Ruthenian" label from it's name. I believe this is due to the fact that we are a more diverse Church today than we were in the early 20th century. The Parma website has never used the term "Ruthenian" in its logo. Nothing has changed. Actually, none of the 4 official websites for the Byzantine-Ruthenian Church in America have ever used the term "Ruthenian" as a major self identifier. Generally speaking, one only finds the term "Ruthenian" on certain types of official documentation. Congrats to Father Joseph. May the Lord God grant him many years! Axios!

With apologies to the Administrator, the Eparchy of Newton, the Eparchy of Canton, and several others I could easily mention are equally "Byzantine Catholic".
