Is it communion with, or submission to?

They're talking about a Uniate church, so it would definitely be the the first and it would be the second to a certain degree. To what degree has yet to be determined, which is why Fr. Moyer can't say much about it. It is also yet to be determined if this idea will work at all. It's unfortunate that this article has come out at this time because the talks that are going on are delicate and press coverage will not help the process along.

Not a first... There are seven other Uniate churches, collectively known as "Byzantine Catholics" (because from the Roman-Byzantine schism of 1052). It would be the first formerly *Protestant* uniate church, as opposed to the six formerly *Orthodox" churches.

If memory and understanding (of who is what) serves me well, they are:
Maronite
Chaldean
Ukranian
Syrian
Melchite
Romanian
and Ruthenian.

I've seen reference to a "Russian Catholic" church, but I believe this refers to the "Ukranian."
