Not really I live in the place where the treaty of Brest happened, I know Ukrainians, Ive travelled in western Ukraine. Catholics whether Eastern or Western are on-par. Anyone who is from a Catholic family with Eastern Catholics in it would know that intermarriage, inter-relations were normal and your post about not considering the other legit is bad fiction. OK. So your experience is different than mine.
It still proves nothing and still does not refute what I said, nor does it make it a lie.

Met, I'm not talking about experiences being different. the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church is here in Warsaw (small communities) and across the granica in the Ukraine. There is no such thing as Catholics in the Ukraine considering each other as not legit because the other belongs to one rite or the other. That is incorrect -- I know families that have been intermarried going back to the 1800s.
you can posit that there were disputes, but at no point has there ever been any accusations of not being 'legit'.
