Monasticism is its own vocation. There are multiple forms in both the East and the West. Carmelites are an ancient grouping with roots in the West, but still anchored in the East. The lifestyle of the community is obviously influenced by the culture of the men and women who receive the vocation. If you're baptized, ask for their prayers. If you're not, they will pray for you anyway.
Remember that the core is the Gospel and Christ, not some 'holy' externals.

@dacatholicbandorgan Uniates . As long as you have the Pope you can claim to be what ever you want.

Why?

They should leave the Carmelite order and adopt traditional Byzantine monasticism.

carmelites are a contemplative community, they're within their walls, they don't show themselves except to certain people like the priest at Communion, or while talking with a visitor, and they do so behind bars, or some sort of border between them!

So why don't we actually SEE the Carmelites?
Because they're Carmelites.

An Eastern Catholic Carmelite? Never heard of such a thing.

Some say this is returning to their roots, seeing as they were founded by the Prophet Elijah.

This is true and, I fear, a result of the Revised Divine Liturgy. I myself am not Ruthenian.

THe iconography is beautiful. However, while well done, the choral arrangement of the Carpatho-Russian/Rusyn prostopenije is not true to the traditional chant tones.

Furthermore, the liturgy was arranged for the Byzantine Carmelites (the first of their kind) by mother Marija of this community and Archimandrite Taft, SJ
