Hello all,
First time poster, long time reader. I'm looking to compile a list of all the magisterial teachings on Eastern Catholicism. Right now all I have is Orientalium Dignitas,Orientale Lumen, Slavorum Apostoli, and Vatican 2's decree. Suggestions?
God bless,
MR

Welcome to the forum, MR,

Always nice to have a Ruthenian poster from the Holy Land of Pennsylvania; we hardly ever get one of those biggrin

I'll offer you one - probably the one that gets most talked of here - but never with enthusiasm

Cum Data Fuerit

Many years,

Neil

Well, you might as well toss in Ea Semper, while you are at it. Ecclesia in America also speaks of the Eastern Catholic Churches. The 1996 Instructions Regarding the Liturgical Provisions of the Code of Canons for the Oriental Churches is also essential reading. Going back to the bad old days, if you can find a copy of Etsi Pastoralis in English, that would be something valuable.

Thanks for the leads. Do you happen to know where a person could find any those in English?

The Liturgical Instruction has been printed by Eastern Christian Publications, which also, I think, put out a collection of ecumenical documents.

Things such as Ea Semper and Cum Data Fuerit can be read, online, in translation, in Historical Mirror, by Father John Slivka, of blessed memory.

See here [archive.org]

It's also available in the same Byzcath's website: https://www.byzcath.org/index.php/r...rary-mainmenu-124/32-documents-from-rome

Besides of that, a Melkite Argentinian blog [melkhispano.blogspot.com] made available in a very nice edition the Spanish (Castellano, in fact) translations of documents by different Popes throughout the history. If they do not help, at least you have the references:

Constitución Apostólica Orientalium Dígnitas
Encíclica "Cristi Nomen"
Encíclica "Orientales Ecclesias"
Encíclica "Rerum Orientalium Studiis"
Encíclica “Orientalis Eclesiæ Decus”

You can find them either in the right side, either in the 3 first pages ("Entradas antiguas).

Gotcha! You can get all those documents, I think, and still others in English here: http://www.papalencyclicals.net/

I would also include Blessed John Paul II's motu propio Ad Tuendam Fidem [vatican.va] since it involves new canons added to the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches.
