Катехизм-УГКЦ.gifOn August 25, 2011, in the Eparchy of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in Argentina, the Eparch for Catholic Ukrainians in Australia, New Zealand and Oceania and the Head of the Patriarchal Catechetical Committee, Bishop Petro (Stasiuk), presented the new UGCC Catechism, "Christ is our Easter.” The meeting with the faithful of the eparchy was held at the conference hall of the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Holy Virgin in Buenos Aires.

As he presented the new catechism, which was proclaimed by Patriarch Sviatoslav in Lviv on June 24, 2011, Bishop Petro said that the catechism “expresses the heart and soul of our church, explains the charisma of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in line with the Eastern Church Fathers and the spirituality of the Catholic Church.”

“The new Catechism of UGCC presents our understanding of ourselves, identifies us as the Eastern Catholic Church, as the church of our fathers and mothers,” noted the hierarch.

In conclusion, Bishop Petro added: “The Ukrainian Catechism is an important means of understanding of our unique Kyivan identity and spirituality. Therefore, we hope that it will help us to see clearly how our spiritual identity is expressed in the yearly cycle of Christmas, Theophany, Lent, Pentecost and the life cycle marked by the sacraments. Without our new catechism, it would be difficult to understand who we are as a church and a nation.”

According to the Information Department of UGCC, the new Catechism will be translated into English, Polish, Russian, Portuguese and Spanish.

      А ну ж бо парочкою прикладів "усіх православних церков", що вважають УПЦ КП розкольниками, киньтеся// В Православии не официальная бумага является признанием, а совместное богослужение и

      Верить, что Денисенко настоящий патриарх, это всё равно, что верить в Деда Мороза - тоже красиво одет, но сущности никакой. Тоже самое с обрядами "УПЦ КП" - они так же недействительны, как

      У католиків зовсім інша еклезіологія - вчення про Церкву. Плюси і мінуси цього вчення є дискутивні, але вони однозначно не підходять православним. Ми маємо зовсім іншу ментальність - ламати себе
