You mean that people like you are a minority? What about Lvov area? What is your attitude to the Uniate Church (under Pope)?
That's the thing, people who are nationally conscious are bothered by this, those who aren't- aren't bothered.
What is your attitude to the Uniate Church (under Pope)?
Let's see- my mother is from Galicia and is a Greek Catholic. I've spent all my summer vacations in the village with my grandma, a Greek Catholic. You decide. :)
BTW, my dad is Orthodox.
My general outlook on the Union- it was a negative in the 16, 17th, 18th centuries because it split the Ukrainians up, but in the 20th century - a huge positive. It slowed down the the russification/assimilation of Western Ukraine dramatically. That's how we get the current Galician patriots. And it was a link to the outside world. Like you Poles- you were a part of the bigger community than the Soviet Block.
You know, it is probable and expected that the 3 churches- UOC (Kyiv), Autocephalous and Greek Catholics would become one church in the future.
