I have to admit that until about eight years ago, I did not know a lot about the Eastern Catholic Churches.
We had a class on the Eastern Catholic Churches. On several occasions, I have been a guest at one of the two Byzantine Catholic Churches in my area for Divine Liturgy.
Thought I do not harbor any thoughts of switching rites, I do like the Divine Liturgy. Others may appreciate the fullness of the Catholic Church too by experiencing what our Sister Churches have.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear that my one nephew had gone to a Byzantine Church for Divine Liturgy in Pennsylvania as part of his grade school religion class. I would hope more young people were exposed to other parts of our Church, but I think while I was growing up, I heard more about the Protestant Churches.
