Romanian Greek Catholic Church
Romanian Greek Catholic Church, Byzantine Catholic Church in Transylvania, Romania
The Romanian Greek Catholic Church combines Eastern Byzantine liturgical practices with full recognition of papal authority in the Catholic hierarchy.
The formal union between Orthodox Christians in Transylvania and Rome occurred through a synod in 1700 under Habsburg influence.
The institution maintains Romanian language liturgical services while following traditional Byzantine rites across its dioceses and congregations.
The church currently operates through five eparchies and one major archeparchy, serving approximately 500,000 members throughout Romania.
During the communist period from 1948 to 1989, the church continued its activities underground after official dissolution by state authorities.
