How do we reconcile the Byzantine Catholic belief in the uncreated energies of God (and the essence-energies distinction) with the Latin Church's belief in created grace and absolute divine simplicity. I have been told as a Byzantine Catholic that our faith is the same as the Latin Church, and that any differences we appear to have are only in theological expression and not in substance. But created vs uncreated grace seems pretty substantive to me as this would lead to wildly different conclusions on who God is and how we relate to Him. I know there are plenty of threads already debating the EED so that is not what I am looking for here, but more specifically, how do we reconcile what we believe with what the west believes and not hold it in contradiction?
