is the Coptic Orthodox Church in UNION with the Roman Catholic Church(with the holy Father, the POPE)?

Answer 1

It's interesting how the Orthodox churches, 4 of the 5 ancient and original churches of Christianity are described above as separating from the Catholic Church. Wouldn't logic dictate that if 4 of the 5 churches stayed united then the one that did not stay united was the one that went into schism and separated? It's kind of like 5 kids playing ball and one of them gets mad and goes away while the others continue their game. When he gets home, to make himself feel good he deludes himself into thinking the other 4 kids were the ones that left the playing field and he was the hero of the game.

To answer the question, the Coptic churches are not even in communion with the rest of the Orthodox world or with the Catholic Church.

Answer 2

*Is Catholic*

There is a Coptic Catholic Church (in union with the Pope) and a Coptic Church (not in union with the Pope and not exactly part of the Orthodox (Greece, Russian, Syrian, consortium) The Copts are Oriental Orthodox which is distinct from "Catholic" and "Orthodox" divisions, since the Council of Chalcedon when the broke away).

If you are specifically referring to the people at this link,

The answer is no but we are working on that and it is getting very close, but close in the theological realm is something that takes a long time to work out.

Answer 3

No.

Coptic Orthodox Church is associated with the Eastern Orthodox Chruches which separated from the Catholic Church in 1054.

The Coptic Catholic Church is in full communion with the Catholic Chruch and the Pope.

Actually there are over 20 different Catholic Churches that make up the worldwide Catholic Church.

In addition to the Latin Rite (Roman) Catholic Church, the Eastern Rite Catholic Churches are in full communion with the Pope, and are part of the same worldwide Catholic Church.

Alexandrian liturgical tradition
+ Coptic Catholic Church
+ Ethiopic Catholic Church

+ Maronite Church
+ Syrian Catholic Church
+ Syro-Malankara Catholic Church

1. Roman 2. Armenian 3. Byzantine 4. Coptic 5. Maronite 6. East Syrian 7. West Syrian 8. Ethiopian (often listed as a recension of the Coptic Rite)

The twenty-two Catholic Churches:

* ROMAN RITE * 1. Latin Church
* ARMENIAN RITE* 2. Armenian Church
* BYZANTINE RITE * 3. Italo-Albanian Church 4. Melkite Church 5. Ukrainian Church 6. Ruthenian Church 7. Romanian Church 8. Greek Church (in Greece) 9. Greek Church of Former Yugoslavia 10. Bulgarian Church 11. Slovak Church 12. Hungarian Church 13. Russian Church 14. Belarusan Church 15. Albanian Church

* MARONITE RITE * 17. Maronite Church
* EAST SYRIAN RITE * 18. Chaldean Church 19. Syro-Malabar Church
