Eastern Catholicism and Personal Belief

[m_p_w]

After reading some of the posts. I have observed that eastern catholics can choose to be more orthodox or more catholic in their belief. So as an eastern catholic, I can choose to have more orthodoxy understanding of Christianity as long as it doesn’t go against the catholic dogma. So orthodox/catholic/mixed doctrine but catholic dogma?
Would you agree?

I would not agree with your categories of Orthodox or Catholic, but rather Eastern or Western. These differences existed in the undivided Church. A western Catholic is free to have a more Eastern (Orthodox) understanding of Christianity as long as it doesn’t conflict with the dogmas of the Church. An Eastern Catholic is equally free to subscribe to a more western understanding of the truths of the faith.

I am not yet a devout catholic. But personally I really like Eastern Catholicism, their understanding of purgatory fits my understanding better. So yes catholics can look across all traditions, but in the end you will belong to a specific tradition, that doesn’t mean you can still have personal beliefs in some other parts. There are some very ‘orthodox’ within Eastern Catholicism and I don’t mind that at all. If we are all in communion with the bishop of Rome we’re all catholic.

It states in I 40. The Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and from the Son as from a single principle through a single spiration.

But in the creed said in most Byzantine Catholic churches and in all Orthodox churches it is said that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father.

Seriously? I mean, according to the “confession of faith” in the Armenian Catholic holy mass, they say

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets.

Yep. In the Eastern Catholic Churches of the Byzantine tradition, the creed is generally said without the filioque.

Awesome (something new I learned), so NOT all catholic rites have the filioque in the creed.
And one the rites which doesn’t have the filioque in the creed is Byzantine.
