  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You'd want to talk to your parish priest. I believe that it involves petitioning the bishop, and I know that it can only be done once/lifetime = once you change rites, you cannot do so again.

Yes, and the Bishops/priests of both rites may ask why you are switching. In other words, I think there must be a good reason to switch rites.
Click to expand...

Well, the reason that I would want to switch rites is because the way in which I live my faith is already more in line with the Eastern Rite than the Western Rite. The way I think about Theology, the way in which I worship, ect.

And I prefer the Divine Liturgy to the Novus Ordo Mass because it is older, has a deeper sense of the Sacred, and hasn't been influenced by Lutherans.

Peace,

Windlord.

Just how hard is it to join an Eastern Rite, and what is involved?

Thanks in advance,

You belong to the rite in which you was baptized.

To change own rite is possible, but you shall ask to your bishop giving motivations. I think that the permission shall arrive from Rome.
It is quite hard bc the rite is really more than fashion in liturgy.

Anyway you are perfectly free to attend the Mass in other rites, probably also to confess and to marry (easy permission given)

I wasn't baptized in any rite, I was baptised in the Disciples of Christ Denomination.


If I do not become a Friar I would be content with that I think.

lol, that's for sure, and masons for that matter. You should try and go to a Tridentine mass sometime and see how you like that.

I would like that. I've never been to one, and I think it would be an amazing experience to hear the Mass in Latin, unchanged by liberalism and the like.

Peace,

Windlord.

Here is an online Missal so you can get an idea of what you will be seeing. http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/lmass/ord.htm Most indult parishes provide booklet Missals as well.

I suggest that you read through the Missal before you go to Mass. At Mass I would try not to concentrate too much on following along in the Missal. If you spend the whole time flipping pages it will detract from the experience.

Hopefully, wherever you are they will have a High Mass, which is more attractive to the Latin Mass neophyte. However Mass is celebrated there, my advice is to withold judgement the first time you go. It will probably be confusing initially, especially if you do not know Latin. Nonetheless, if you keep going I'm certain that it will grow on you.

I like Divine Liturgy as well. I visit the Melkites once in a while and absolutely love it, but I am a Roman Catholic so the Latin Mass is my home.

If you go to a daily Mass it will almost certainly be a Low Mass. I think it is best to start with a Sunday High Mass, but in the future if you have access to daily Mass it is an incredible grace.

At my college, one of the Jesuits there is a wonderful old priest who has held on to the old ways. I served daily Mass for him and it was an incredible grace. It was very early in the morning, but nothing is more peaceful or contemplative then a morning Mass, and it was usually just myself and Father.

Apparently our bishop doesn't allow the Tridentine Mass in our diocese as there is none celebrated in my diocese. That said, I do have a great deal of appreciation for the Novus Ordo Mass. And no, I am not a liberal Catholic. I am actually very conservative and orthodox.

Hey, you won't get any condemnation from me

I'll tell you one thing, it certainly is a breath of fresh air after 20 years of Non-Denominational and Liberal Contemperary Christian services.

Peace,

Windlord.
