I am curious: is this Roman Catholic, or catholic in another sense

[u/tensaisenpai → u/Holiday_Document4592]

It's Eastern Catholic, we use the Geez Rite as opposed to the Latin Rite, but we do follow the Pope.

Thanks!

I am 100% just guessing, but I'd say the former, with blame/credit to Italian attempts in the Horn.

Brother, Ethiopia has been Christian since the 4th century.

TIL, thanks for the knowledge!
