Isn’t there a chance this developed in the East without latinizing them(selves) directly?
That’s just not how the east works/worked.
Perhaps they chose themselves to adopt it, or saw it in Latin liturgies and considered it to be a good idea?
In the cases where the east addopted Western practices without being explicitly told to do so, the pressure to “do it the catholic way” was still the drying force.
I have asked for documentation of these assertions.
I’ll point you to multiple discussions and uniform conclusions from folks (who, unlike either of us,
can read Church Slavonic) on
byzcath.org’s east & west discussions. do a search limited to that site for “commemorate bishop metropolitan primate”.
No, after watching multiple discussions with liturgists on the subject, I’m
not going to go learn Church Slavonic to pull documents from your requested church that may or may not even exist (Latin practice at the time was the outright destruction of the prior books and texts. I don’t know offhand about eastern).
I
can state that the uniform slavic liturgy was received by the Ruthenians as written by SS C&M with the standard byzantine usage, and the single commemoration is maintained to this day by the byzantine orthodox churches that were
not formed by breaking away from a abusively latinized EC church.
Knowing what the Ruthenians started with, followed by hundreds of years of various degrees of latinization in Europe, and then flat-out abuse by RCC bishops in the US, a suggestion that prior to Uhzrod they added the mulit-commemoration which at odds with eastern practice would be what would call for proof.
And citation to old liturgicon’s aside, the “ping-pong-ping” history of ACROD through it’s descent through the US Ruthenians makes its praxis unusable as an example of what “Eastern” praxis is.
(and, yes, you’d get a similarly caustic response from me if you asked me in my capacity as an Economics professor for documentation of the slope of a supply curve, or Say’s law, or . . . and if you asked me as a lawyer for citations on the elements of negligence being Duty, Breach, Causation, and Damages. or for the principle that spring gun traps have been illegal for centuries. Acquired knowledge is for sharing, and not having handy citations for all the standard knowledge in a field acquired over decades would be a poor reason not to share with the majority that wants to
learn, rather than argue).
(PS what it the meaning of “etc.” in the first quote?
the rest of the list was further up.
