A question for any other Catholics belonging to sui juris Eastern churches in communion with the Holy See of Rome. Do you or your community identify as 'Orthodox in Communion with Rome'? Why or why not? How does this identity, or lack thereof affect the modus vivendi of your churches?

I am Roman Catholic, Latin rite, through and through.

We do not, as far as I know, have active Eastern Catholics on this forum.

Some of them do indeed identify as Orthodox in Communion with Rome and accept all Orthodox theology and spirituality while recognizing the Roman Pope. Others will identify as Eastern Catholics first.

Hope I answered your question.

Thanks for your contribution! I have my own experience with the difference in approaches, and was hoping for some insight from others as to the experience in their communities - but there doesn't appear to be many other ECs around. In a way the question was raised in my mind on account of the thread in the EO subforum: Are Eastern Catholics and traditional Catholics Orthodox in denial

Actually I think at least one member who posts on the Eastern Orthodox forum “The Ancient Way” is or was a Byzantine Rite Catholic.
