John Michael Botean (born July 9, 1955) is an American prelate of the Romanian Greek Catholic Church.
As the second eparch in the history of a unique eparchy, a large part of Botean's activities consist of compliance work, bringing the organization into conformance with the requirements of his split jurisdiction, both American and Romanian.
In 2005 Botean established traditional Romanian Byzantine Catholic monasticism in the Diocese of Canton with the transfer of Holy Resurrection Monastery to diocesan jurisdiction.
The letter was a direct condemnation of the conflict, and termed it "objectively grave evil, a matter of mortal sin".
The present situation of the eparchy is a midpoint between the two, within the newly formed Romanian synod and within the USCCB, but not answerable either.
