What are the Egyptian Coptic Church's relations with Roman Catholic Church?
Yes. The Coptic Catholic Church broke away with the Coptic Orthodox Church to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. This occurred around 1741 under the direction of a Coptic bishop named Amba Athanasius. Athanasius converted to Catholicism with about 2,000 Coptics. Although Althanasius converted back to the Coptic Orthodox Church, most of the people remained and grew into what is now the Coptic Catholic Church. It's important to note that the Coptic Catholic Church is not an independent Church, but a rite under the Catholic Church. The differences between rites are purely cultural, NOT doctrinal. So even though different rites in the Catholic Church may celebrate mass a little differently, they all believe in the same teachings of the Catholic Church and remain loyal to the Pope.

Which religions was probably practiced by people in the Byzantine Empire?
AnswerGreek Orthodoxy AnswerThe name of the religion practiced in the Byzantine Empire was Eastern Orthodoxy. AnswerPrior to the Great Schism of the eleventh century, the Byzantine Empire was Catholic, and nominally under, or at least aligned with, the Church of Rome. After that point, it was on its own, and called Eastern Orthodox. There were other Churches also called Orthodox, as the Oriental Orthodox and Coptic Orthodox were. They are not the same and should not be confused with each other. The Eastern Orthodox Church is often simply called Orthodox, which obscures its relationship with other Orthodox Churches. The Greek Orthodox Church is part of the Eastern Orthodox Church, but in Byzantine times the distinction possibly did not exist.There are some links below.The "Eastern Orthodox" branch of Christianity was the main religion of the Byzantine Empire
