Is there a such thing as "Western rite Orthodox"?

In the western Orthodox Mass, for Communion, the Host is dipped in the Precious Wine as it is being distributed to each person.

The Western Orthodox use the Liturgy of Saint Gregory correct?

ZP
 
Heavily?

The reports I’ve heard (far form authoritative) are that they simply add the explicit Epiclesis to the Roman Canon.

I could be wrong. I thought unleavened hosts were also forbidden?

(Interestingly the Armenian Oriental Orthodox also use unleavened hosts)

And the host is leavened bread, cut and pressed flat so that it resembles a small disc, but leavened nonetheless. The Orthodox Church prohibits the use of unleavened bread.

I would be interested to know if the Western Orthodox practice Benediction and adoration of the exposed Blessed Sacrament in a monstrance.

There is another difference.
When distributing Holy Communion, the Host is dipped in wine, You can see this from the videos. Is this then more in keeping with what Jesus said: " - “Truly, truly, I say to you , unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man AND drink his blood , you have no life in you .
Catholics in the Old Tridentine Mass only take the Precious Bread as the Body, not the Precious Bread AND the Precious Wine. At the time of Consecration, the priest consecrates the Bread as the Body of Christ, and then separately there is a Consecration of the Wine as the Blood. The Bread is consecrated as the Body, and the Wine is separately consecrated as the Blood.
The western Orthodox receive both as the Host is dipped into the Precious Wine.
