![]() (I also think the priests at this mission celebrate Byzantine liturgies at other churches thinking they are bi-liturgical.)īut Michael, if one bothers to look at the rest of the ROCOR western rite web pages, nothing, at least in the photos, is western, and all directions for what to expect when attending their parishes follow Byzantine rubrics as well. But maybe that isn’t surprising given that it was a creature of the time period from about AD 500-800 and has been dead for over 1,000 years? I tend to concur with what Gregory Dix wrote about it in his magisterial Shape of the Liturgy. A bizarre amalgam of Eastern & Western influences. It certainly is a unique liturgy but not one that has any feel for Western liturgics. Their priest is former ECUSA who then was ordained by French Orthodox Church, which likely is the key to using the “Gallican” liturgy.

Now, in a recent thread of comments to a posting of the Sarum liturgy, Dale kindly responded with some links and remained on topic. I would react the same way if I were getting endless threads on sedevacantism, the SSPX, the Roman missal of 1962 and the Novus Ordo, or even on the Ordinariates and Anglicanorum coetibus – these are issues proper to minorities of Roman Catholics. I would say that most readers of this blog are not interested in converting to Orthodoxy, so the western rite question is irrelevant. These intra-Orthodox discussions can be interesting, and they can have a saturating effect on others. One thing I and others have found about this blog is that when certain “buttons are pressed”, questions on the liturgy in particular, we get a string of off-topic comments concerning problems between Eastern Orthodox jurisdictional contentions and discussions on this or that bishop, hierarch, priest in charge of something.
