Question

What does "Byzantine Catholic" Mean?

Answer

Byzantine Catholics are Catholics who are in union with the Pope. They are not of the Roman Catholic Church but have their own liturgical customs while still upholding the teachings and tradition of the Catholic faith. Basically, they're Catholic but they celebrate Mass (or what they call "Divine Liturgy") in a different way. https://www.catholic.com/qa/what-can-you-tell-me-about-the-byzantine-rite-of-the-catholic-church
