Name That Byzantine Church

Question:

What Eastern Catholic Church would I belong to? I’m a Greek Orthodox Christian who attends services in Greek and English. If I make a profession of faith, what specific Byzantine rite I would belong to?

Answer:

I would say that you would belong to the Greek Byzantine Catholic Church, which originated in the Ottoman Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

If, however, your background is from a specific area of Orthodoxy (Syria, Ukraine, Egypt), there are specific Eastern Catholic Churches for those converts as well.
