In 2024 the Melkite Greek Catholic Church is set to celebrate a special Jubilee Year to mark the 300th anniversary of the restoration of the full Communion with the Church of Rome, in 1724.
With more than 1.5 million faithful, the Melkite Greek Catholic Church is one of the largest Eastern Churches in union with Rome , tracing its roots back to the ancient See of Antioch, where the followers of Christ were first called Christians.During the press conference Patriarch Youssef also recalled the theological disputes and divisions that throughout history have divided the ecclesial communities born from the first apostolic preaching.
In the Middle East, starting from the 17th century, Western Catholic missionaries “sought to heal the breach and achieve the desired unity between the Patriarchate of Antioch and the Church of Rome,” Patriarch Youssef said.This effort grew into a “reunification movement,” which, along with other important factors, led to other divisions within the Church of Antioch itself.
Despite divisions, “the Churches of Antioch have fulfilled their mission of preserving the Christian faith and have overcome all the critical moments they have lived through,” said Patriarch Absi.
