I guess that, 100 years ago, fewer people thought of Uniate as a pejorative. Or perhaps they felt that the association with Rome was something to be embraced. Probably a bit of both. Generally speaking, it is best to refer to people with the terms they themselves. Roman Catholics use "Roman Catholic" (most would think the term "Latin Catholic" meant something to do with the old Latin Mass). Likewise there are very few in America who go around identifying themselves as "uniate". Most often it is "Greek Catholic", "Byzantine Catholic" or "Ukrainian Catholic", etc.

I tell them that it is a derogatory term which should not be used.

With that post we end this thread. We have moved from the original topic into other topics. I would like to thank the posters that have given us a wealth of information and food for thought.

Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai
