"Greek Orthodox Church but with a photo of the Pope"

Hi all, I'm new around here but have been lurking for a while. As I was catching up on the threads, I saw this post by Hope & Memory in the thread "Joining the Catholic Church" where he said: Have you attended Divine Liturgy at any Eastern Catholic Church? If you are thinking it is going to be just like the Greek Orthodox Church but with a photo of the Pope in the vestibule, you might be surprised. I'm guessing that the Greek Catholic Exarchate in Greece would fit that description. However, are there any such examples in other countries and particularly the USA? Thanks in advance Kimon

odd - when I did the "preview post" thing, the formatting looked right.
If the formatting is confusing, what I was asking was which Eastern Catholic Church is closest to the Greek Orthodox Church (in style, tradition, language, laity, etc.) other than the Greek Catholic Exarchate in Greece. Does anybody know?

odd - when I did the "preview post" thing, the formatting looked right. Kimon, The formatting issue results from the fact that your posts are currently moderated and the software doesn't hold formatting for such unless you introduce an extra 'Enter' after the formatted text. New members are moderated until we can verify that they are legit and not spammers/trolls/hackers, etc. Generally, anyone who never posted previously will find themselves still in that mode, despite having registered a while back. The problem will go away once that status has been lifted - which should be in a day or so. Many years, Neil

Does anybody know? In the diaspora, where there are no Byzantine Greek Catholic churches (temples of the Byzantine Greek Catholic Church exist only in Greece and Turkey), the ones closest in praxis to the Greeks would likely be those Byzantines who do not serve according to the Byzantine Slav Tradition - the Italo-Grieco-Albanians and the Melkites. Many years, Neil PS - Very nicely done blog!

It's a fun thing to do (when I have time) and a place where I can post my own ramblings on an, admittedly, esoteric topic following my own rules

Kimon, There are only 2 parishes in FL that meet the description - both Melkite - St Jude in Miami and St Nicholas in Delray Beach. Many years, Neil
