I know it's so sad seeing videos like this. It really makes our services seem so...superficial. I feel like we've lost all our Latin tradition, and we're just you're average American church that happens to have Catholic things going on inside. At least the Vatican still does traditional-feeling masses.
Any Roman Catholic or Orthodox are welcome to worship in any Eastern Catholic Church and receive the Eucharist because the true presence of Christ is recognized in both traditions. This is a long standing tradition. The Eastern Rite Churches have a unique role in building a bridge
of hope for unification between the Orthodox and Catholics.
I have a Greek father and Irish other. Unity can be achieved with prayer, humility and holiness.
God's blessing on you for posting this. I only wish we could MANDATE every Roman parish be exposed to the Eastern church... only problem is they might bring their muddy boots of modernism into the Eastern church. Sorry I suppose I should go to confession for that!
Beautiful...As you can see, the splendor of Orthodoxy is magnified by its unity! St. Elias is an excellent example of ecclesial unity with Rome! Praise and thanks for the future oneness of Christ's church on earth.
This is the best introduction to what a church building and its relation to the Faith that I have ever found. Thank you.
