Hi everyone - Im a new roman catholic, but just trying to learn about the other Catholic branches. My understanding is the Byzantine Catholics are in full communion with Rome, although there are "orthodox" roots.

My questions:

Do all Byzantine Catholics accept the supremacy of the Pope?
Are there any differences in moral teaching - birth control, sexuality?
Is is true that Byzantine's don't distinguish between mortal and venial sin?
Is there confession to a Priest?

Thanks so much!

The best thing is to repeat the oft said

" come and see "

Basically the answer to all your questions is "Yes"

Please PM the Admin and ask him to put you in touch with either Sbdn.John or myself , since we are both in Scotland.
