Oppose The Ruthenian Uniate Church survived for longer than the Metropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Ruthenia. The RUC moved to an archdiocese of Lviv when it abandoned the Metropolis of Kiev, Galicia and all Ruthenia. So the two are not identical. Laurel Lodged (talk) 16:44, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Laurel Lodged do you have sources that the Ruthenian Uniate Church existed after the partitions of the Commonwealth? As far as I know after the partitions the Ruthenian Uniate Church did not survive and was split among the three states in the following way:
To the Russian Empire - Archeparchy of Polotsk, Metropolitan of all Byzantine Catholics in Russia
To the Kingdom of Prussia - Eparchy of Supraśl
To the Austrian Empire - Archeparchy of Lviv and others which soon establish the Greek Catholic Church.
In 1807, Pope Pius VII authorised the metropolitan to administer the vacant see of Kiev on the basis of the Eparchy of Lviv. @Laurel Lodged When then the Ruthenian Uniate Church stop to exist? I think when the three successor entities (Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, Belarusian Greek Catholic Church and Russian Greek Catholic Church) appears, right?

It could be said that the RUC was never disestablished. Even when the metropolis was divided among several states, those suffragan dioceses were still part of the RUC. It could be said that the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is simply a name change. I would regard the Belarusian Greek Catholic Church and Russian Greek Catholic Church as new establishments from a mother church (the RUC). Laurel Lodged (talk) 11:30, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
With the Union of Uzhhorod, dioceses in Transylvania and Hungary also joined the Ruthenian Uniate Church. I don't think that those dioceses were ever part of the metropolis, although they would have been under the primate of the RUC. Laurel Lodged (talk) 17:22, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
