Such usage is still reflected today in the Orthodox liturgy, e.g. "unite them to your Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church" (from the litany of the catechumens, [[Divine Liturgy|Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom]]). Current convention however, favors the name "Orthodox Church", perhaps partly to avoid confusion with the [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic Church]], especially its [[Eastern Catholic churches|Eastern rites]]. But, especially in official contexts, the Orthodox Church continues to use the title "Catholic Church", and Orthodox authorities such as Saint [[Raphael of Brooklyn]] have asserted that the full name of the church includes the term "Catholic" as in [http://books.google.com/books?id=oeKOUb6OcG4C&pg=PA101&dq=%22The+Church+of+the+East+has+never+from+the+first+been+known+by+any+other+name+than+Catholic,+nor+has+she+set+aside+this+title+in+any+official+document.%22&lr= "Holy Orthodox Catholic Apostolic Church"].

"Eastern" is used to indicate that in the first millennium the influence of our Church was concentrated in the eastern part of the Christian world and to show that a very large number of our membership is of other than Greek national origin. Thus, Orthodox Christians throughout the world use various ethnic or national titles: "Greek", "Russian", "Serbian", "Romanian", "Ukrainian", "Bulgarian", "Antiochian", "Albanian", "Carpatho-Russian", or more inclusively, as "Eastern Orthodox"'' ([http://www.goarch.org/ourfaith/ourfaith7061 Rev.
