I am an ametuer geanololgist.
Two of my grandsons are 35 Ukrainian from the Lemko region of Gallacia. So I have an interest in their background.
In the small region of Connecticut sitting side by side were two Eastern style church’s.
My mother always explained that although we called both these churches Russian. There worship although similar to a westerner hid the fact that the one on the left was just as Catholic as the Irish parish our Italian family worshiped in.
They honered Pope Pius 12 as their leader just as we did.
My son - in-laws family came from this Church.
When they were married in our Church the Ceremony was co-celebrated with a Ukrainian Priest who gave the final blessing in Slavic.
Recently I came across an article about my son’s ancestor’s that confused me.
Both these church were stated by residents of Galacia
Even the the Othrodox church used Catholic in the title.
As science occurred when the Pope in the1930 redefined The
term Ruthenen to exclude. people from there homland
They apparently try to found a new church which was opposed by members of both the other churches.
The Church failed and apparently many of the members became Protestants.
I know back home we have Lemco Social clubs
but I never associated the club with a Church.
Can anyone shed some light on this period
Did the Pope ever make a decree
I always wondered when reading immigration record
why these people say they are from Austria but they belonged to the Ruthenen ethnic group.
