The ecclesiastical and liturgical differences are pretty clear/obvious. My question is in terms of theology and impact on catechesis and teachings, such as vocation, marriage, confession, TOB, divorce, women in Divine Liturg, the breviery, etc. I searched the forums and could not find anything substantial, only that the two are “in communion” of which I was well aware.

Based on your answer to the above, a follow-on is likely: Do the Byzantine Catholics submit to the Magisterium and the Roman Catechesis?
 
Hi,

If they are in union with Rome, then they submit to the Magisterium and hold and believe the teachings of the Roman Church in matters of faith and morals. So while, there may be some non-essential differences in emphasis, there are no basic differences in theology. Therefore, for example, they would submit to Pope John Paul’s theology of the body.
