Corrected?

All I get told is that I’m wrong. That doesn’t count.

Is somebody going to tell me what’s *right* and cite it?

We’ve provided citations to back up our claims.

Where are yours?

You have not. You made the claim that Roman Catholics don't consider them [Ukrainian Greek Catholics] *real* Catholics. You have provided no evidence to back up your claim.

Where are yours?

    Divine Liturgy Celebrated in Rome by the New Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church

    On March 23, the bishops of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church elected as their new leader the youngest member of their hierarchy, 41 year-old Bishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk, of the Eparchy of Santa Maria del Patrocinio in Argentina. He succeeds as Major Archbishop of Kiev-Halych Lubomyr Cardinal Husar, who retired on February 10 due to failing eyesight. After the confirmation of the election by Pope Benedict XVI on March 25, Archbishop Shevchuk was enthroned in the still-to-be completed Cathedral of the Resurrection in Kiev on March 27th. Almost immediately thereafter, he and several members of the Permanent Synod of the UGCC hierarchy came to Rome, and were received in audience by the Holy Father on April 1.

There are two profound problems with that challenge"

1) Unless you are willing to receive the truth it would be a pointless exercise and presumes no one has ever tried.

"The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit." - 1 Corinthians 2:14

2) The demand to cite proof shows a lack of faith. Faith is the cooperation with Grace. Faith does not proceed from premise or from reason, it is the response to God's call. It is an act of the will, the acceptance of things not seen, not understood and not known.

"Then Jesus told him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.'" - John 20:29

You begin your journey of faith by choosing to believe that Jesus is Lord and God and declaring your love for Him.

Peace be with you.
