Differences Between The Catholic and Orthodox Ethiopian Churches
Other distinctions between the Orthodox and Catholic Ethiopian Churches include certain points of doctrine regarding the sacraments, the use of the Catholic canon of Scripture, and the Catholic rejection of miaphysite theology (e.g., the formula attributed to St. Cyril). Also, the order of the diaconate is reserved for adult men in the Catholic Church, whereas boys are commonly ordained in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Ethiopian Catholic clergy also tend to dress in the Roman cassock and collar, contrary to the Ethiopian Orthodox custom.

My woods the young fir balsams like a place
Where houses all are churches and have spires.
I hadn’t thought of them as Christmas trees.”
