I wasn’t talking about the *official* party line which has nothing whatsoever with what goes on at the grassroots level of any Catholic church I’ve ever seen or been part of.

Here is what you said:The reason they specify Roman or Ukrainian is not because neither considered the other legit. It is because they have different liturgies. They are both fully in communion and one is as legit as the other. Again, you have shown no evidence to demonstrate they weren't considered legit.

And in post 403 you made the claim:

The Roman Catholics don't consider Ukrainian Catholics quite good enough and the Ukrainian Catholics know it.

My reading comprehension is fine. What you said is not true and you've provided no evidence to back up your claim.

The Eastern Catholics are in full communion. In fact, we have Latin Catholics posting here on FR who routinely attend Eastern Catholic liturgies. I've done so many times myself, including at Ukrainian Greek Catholic churches, because the Church considers them to be not only good enough but in full communion.
