The dogma, as formulated and defined by the Roman Catholic Church, is incompatible with Eastern (Byzantine) theology, mostly because it explicitly mentions "Original Sin" and even calls it a "stain".

Yet all the Eastern Catholic Churches have accepted the underlying dogma; they've even named parish churches after it!

But if you ask an Eastern Christian to describe what they believe, they probably won't use those terms (yeah, some will.)

Fun fact: the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed, when recited in Greek in a Roman Rite Catholic Mass, omits the "filioque" because you can't correctly translate the Filioque to Greek. It would sound like a heresy. It's not a heresy, however, to omit it!
