Belarusian Greek Catholic Church

[edit]

A ntv, first of all, there is nothing derogatory about Uniate Church and it was the official name for it. Second of all there was no Belarusian Greek Catholic Church until the 20th century. There was one Ruthenian Uniate Church with Metropolitan of Kiev seated in Vilnius. The Ukrainian and Belarusian church was united as Ruthenian (or Ruska) until partitions of Poland. In the mid 18th century, the metropolitan see was transferred from Vilnius to Radomyshl in Kiev Voivodeship, a city specifically built for metropolitan residence as the city of Kiev was occupied by Russians. Why did you reverted my changes? Where are your citations about Belarusian Greek Catholic Church? Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 21:53, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A ntv, the article about the Belarusian Greek Catholic Church clearly states that it was established in 1990. So, how do you claim that Josyf Veliamyn Rutsky was related to that church? Aleksandr Grigoryev (talk) 21:57, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A ntv, the official name of the church was Ruthenian Uniate Church (Latin: Ecclesia Ruthena unita).[1][2][3]
A ntv, please, understand that I have nothing against Belarusians or Belarusian Greek Catholic Church. Nonetheless there was no Ukrainian or Belarusian Greek Catholic churches at that time and Rutsky was never building those churches. Greek Catholic church was introduced by the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa in the 19th century and was not applied to the church that existed in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
