    I wish you well Guilherme... but why in the name of all that is Holy did you do that? Eastern Catholicism may be less of a mess than Roman Catholicism (no replacement of the Altar with a coffee table from Ikea) but it is a dim, grey reflection of the beauty and joy of Orthodoxy. Pray for me.

    @@britishsubject8722 Half of my Byzantine Parish is former orthodox who loved the liturgical traditions and simply wanted the fullness of being a part of the Church Jesus Christ established.The beauty and joy of orthodoxy with the joy of fulfilment of Catholicism. Tertullian “[T]he Lord said to Peter, ‘On this rock I will build my Church, I have given you the keys of the kingdom of heaven [and] whatever you shall have bound or loosed on earth will be bound or loosed in heaven’ [Matt. 16:18-19]. . . . Upon you, he says, I will build my Church; and I will give to you the keys, not to the Church” (Modesty 21:9-10 [A.D. 220]). St.Cyprian of Carthage “The Lord says to Peter: ‘I say to you,’ he says, ‘that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church.’ . . . On him [Peter] he builds the Church, and to him he gives the command to feed the sheep [John 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed, the others were that also which Peter was [i.e., apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, whereby it is made clear that there is but one Church and one chair. So too, all [the apostles] are shepherds, and the flock is shown to be one, fed by all the apostles in single-minded accord. If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he [should] desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251]). St. Augustine of Hippo “[T]here are many other things which most properly can keep me in her [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15-17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger inquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house” (Against the Letter of Mani Called “The Foundation” 4:5 [A.D. 397]).

    I converted to the traditional Roman Catholic Faith 40 years ago from Orthodox Judaism. Because Traditional Latin Masses were at the time hard to find, I discovered a Byzantine Catholic parish and never looked back. I had a friend years ago who was Russian Orthodox who tried to convert me, but I refused for 3 reasons: Orthodoxy is a schismatic church that broke off from the Catholic Church in 1054 AD; the Orthodox brutally persecuted Eastern Rite Catholics in Eastern Europe; and the Orthodox church allows divorces/remarriages in violation of the clear and direct teaching of Christ.

    What an extraordinarily well done documentary about your parish!! I am glad that you are more than a church. You are a loving community. What more could you ask God for? I am glad too that I saw a few familiar faces there: Fr. Loya (hi from St. Mark's Armenian Catholic Church) and Fr. Custer (we met when I took a class at the seminary in Pittsburgh). God grant them many years.

    И даже в раскольнической греко-католической т.г. церкви уже вводят элементы Новус Ордос, вытаскивая алтарь к прихожанам.
