Last check: 2007-10-26) The Romanian Church United with Rome, Greek-Catholic (in Romanian: Biserica Română Unită cu Roma, Greco-Catolică) is an Eastern Rite or Greek-Catholic Church ranked as a Major Archiepiscopal Church, which uses the Byzantine liturgical rite in the Romanian language.

This was in part due to the fact that, unlike the Romanian Orthodox who until 1863 officially used Church Slavonic in their Byzantine liturgy, the Romanian Church United with Rome used the Romanian vernacular since its beginnings. www.goupstate.com /apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=NEWS&template=wiki&text=Romanian_Church_United_with_Rome,_Greek-Catholic   (1122 words)
