	Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The foundation of the Ukrainian Catholic Church was laid by the communion of the Patriarch of Constantinople with the Popes in Rome throughout most of the first millennium (until 1054) and intermittent communion thereafter.
		With the elimination of Ruthenian Catholics on the territory of the Russian Empire during the 1800s the Pope of Rome granted the transfer of the quasi-patriarchal powers of the Major-Archepiscopate of Kiev/Halych and all Rus to the Metropolitan of Lviv (Lemberg) in the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1803.
		Nevertheless in 1989, the Ukrainian Catholic Church emerged from the catacombs.

		As the 1980s wore on, the insistence of the Ukrainian Catholics on the restoration of legal rights to their Church grew ever stronger; despite all the efforts of the Soviet Government and the Moscow Patriarchate, this insistence in the end was irresistible.

		THE UKRANIAN Greek-Catholic Church, as is the case with each of the sui juris churches which together comprise the Eastern Catholic Churches, shares its theological, spiritual and liturgical roots and traditions with the Christian East (those Churches of the Christian East with which most westerners are today familiar are the Orthodox Churches).
		It is clear that the contemporary Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church, which traces its origins to the Kyivan (Ukrainian) Church, was a part of the Christian East during the time at which the foregoing theological and ecclesiological positions were germinating, growing and ripening to their present stature.
		On 2 September 2004, the Soborchyk of the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Australia considered the Eastern ecclesiological position on the filioque, the Eastern Doctrine of the Trinity, and the Eastern (Greek) usage of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed.
