Ironically enough many times when I go to Liturgy in Ukrainian, I am the only one there that is from the Latin rite, but at the same time I am the only one who stands the entire time…:eek:

Those sitting are far less a Latinization than an Americanization and/or Protestantization.

The use of Church Slavonic in Ruthenian parishes can become a heated issue. Although English is the norm trying to get a little Church Slavonic can be problematic…just try to get a whole Church Slavonic Liturgy these days.

Rev. Fr. Forbade any use of Slavonic at Christmas… not even during caroling.
 
Returning to the original question, I think it would all depend on the particular church. Nearly all my experiences have been quite positive, but of course that is probably due to the fact that most people I’ve spoken with have been cradle EC’s who preferred to emphasize our similarities rather than our differences.

What was his rationale? I remember Fr. in Los Altos. We sang koledy not only po nashemu, but also in Hungarian language. And the parish sold kolachi, and Fr talked about “Rusyn” traditions. :confused:
