In the diasporic communities of Roman Catholics in Ukraine (Murafa) and Greek Catholics in Poland (Biay Br) religion and the local clergy play a dominant role in the process of constructing new identities. Because of the memory of their ancestors deportation trauma the Greek Catholics define their Ukrainianness in opposition to their environment. In Roman Catholics case, the change of the liturgys language is followed by the Polish traditions rejection: they feel Ukrainian. The break of the traditions transmission path divides the community and directs them towards (pop)cultural homogenization with the Orthodox. The Greek Catholics are also divided because of their new church; universal in the Christian sense, it proves the overcoming of divisions, not accepted by everyone.
