I would recommend researching and meditating upon the doctrinal beliefs of the Church, for my part I believe there is little sense in going into communion in rome in this manner if you’re not going to be in full visible communion. I can’t speak for Eastern Catholics I guess, but for my part I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking communion unless I assented to the doctrinal beliefs of the Church as a whole.

I would not recommend attaching any credence to PR’s recommendation, which is laced with unfounded generalities. There certainly are bi-ritual priests and priests of many Eastern churches worth speaking with. Talk to a priest who is accessible to you.

You are quite right. I should not have posted what I did, and I apologize for it. 😊 You’re advice is solid. Find a good and holy priest of any sui juris Church (even the Roman), who is knowledgeable of Eastern Catholicism and of Rome’s teachings regarding it, and talk to him about your questions and concerns.

dvdjs, thank you so much for calling me out and challenging me to deeper humility. 👍

Dear brother dcointin,

I came into Catholic Communion from Oriental Orthodoxy about 5 years ago. I would like to share with you my own experience and how I have reconciled Catholic teachings to my OO mindset. Unfortunately, I don’t have time right now. Perhaps you would be interested to read about my journey: forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?t=202141. It’s not a complete account, and I have elaborated over the years when certain topics required it.

When I have more time, perhaps next week, I hope to engage in this thread more and provide some perspectives that may help you.

For now, I would like you to congratulate you for actually trying to find out about the Catholic Faith instead of becoming Catholic just for the sake of marriage.

Abundant blessings,
Marduk
