My question is how could an eastern catholic baptism be preformed in a roman rite church?.The priest is bi-ritual.He was told in rome he can give out sacrements in either rite.

I would imagine that so long as the parish has a baptismal font capable of full immersion, then the process would be the same as if it were taking place within a Byzantine church.

Does the priest need permission from the bishop of that parish to perform the ritual according to another church’s norms?
Anyway, I don’t see the point of the exercise unless the priest is allowed to do the Confirmation and Communion as well. If all three sacraments are allowed as part of the same event I think it would be pretty nice.

With all due respect, Hesychios knows WAY more about Catholicism than most Catholics.
As to the OP, The eastern rite is still Catholic. The Latin (roman) rite is Catholic as well. There is no disunity there, just a difference in liturgy (I believe) so it wouldnt be a big deal so long as that priest has the authority to dispense the sacraments in both rites.
if you want the “nitty gritty” details, I am not sure how the Eastern Rite performs their sacraments so I dont know how it would physically be performed.

I’m assuming this is an infant baptism. Let’s say the priest is bi-ritual Latin/UGCC and the family of the child is UGCC. Assuming that the priest has faculties in both dioceses, and assuming that he is either assigned to the Latin parish or will be there with the permission of the pastor, there is no problem for him to baptize according to the full baptismal rite of the UGCC. If that’s the scenario, and assuming that all the permissions are in order, there’s no problem. If the scenario is substantially different, further information would be very helpful.

Sounds like a little Argumentum ad populum. Hesychios is very knowledgeable.

woohoo go slovakia! sorry i had to do that =]
do you know what town or region?
but as stated before, I think its only a matter of actually knowing the liturgy and being officially related with an eastern rite. since the theology is the same, i don’t think there needs to be re-approval for giving the sacraments, whichever they may be

If you are an adult then you will go through the catecheumenate period to be baptized in any Catholic Church, ECC , OCC or Latin. Whomever is involved in your catechesis during that time, normally the priest in an EC, and an RCIA team in a Latin parish, that person will be able to go over with you all of your concerns.
You have posted this question here on CAF in several different forms in the past. You didn’t respond to some questions we posed to you there.
As far as I can tell from your other posts you haven’t been involved in the life of an EC parish. There would be no reason to be baptized into an ECC with which you have not had an affiliation other than your interest in the ECCs. Baptism is the reception into Christ’s body the Church, to be lived in a particular Church. One can’t be baptized into a particular Church if one is not involved with that community. I think meeting with your priest or the RCIA director will help you understand more clearly what Baptism for an adult means.
As an adult EC or Latin you would receive all the sacraments of initiation at one time: Baptism, Confirmation, and First Holy Eucharist. In the Latin Church it is normal for this to happen during the Easter Vigil.
In the Latin Church the catecheumenate period is prescribed to be in at least one year so that not only does the person have a chance to be clear about their readiness to make a profession of faith but they also have lived, worshiped in Mass and had reflection and instruction at least weekly for an entire liturgical year and through this liturgical year come to better understand the Church which they seek to enter.
Your priest or someone he suggests in his stead will be best able to help you with the spiritual direction you are seeking. We can offer our thoughts and prayers but we cannot alter the circumstances.

If you are an upbaptised adult, then you can choose your Church to be any of the 23 Catholic Churches that exist, but practically, it sounds like you would choose the one matching your heritage. You are to receive the Christian initiation according to the prescriptions of the Church you are to be ascribed to, so the priest you mention would need to be bi-ritual in that Church.
If you are already validly baptised, then it would involve requesting a change of ritual Church.
