This Week in Ministry 34: Catechetical Corner - Who Are Christians in the Middle East?
Seven Churches, each bearing a great and ancient history with unique liturgical traditions and culture, comprise the Catholic Church in the Middle East. Each of these Churches is in full communion with Rome, but six with an Eastern tradition are sui iuris, or self-governing, and have their own Patriarchs. All these Churches are Arabic-speaking and immersed in Arabic culture.
