It would seem the that Eastern Catholic Churches are the best kept secret in Catholicism. For many centuries there was little contact between East and West and the Eastern churches remained isolated in the region where they originated. More recently, because of immigration and the relative ease of travel, these churches have begun to take root here in the West. The recent popes, John Paul II in particular, have been outspoken in their support for the Eastern Churches, and in their recognition of the contribution of the these churches to Christendom.
