Latin in the Divine Liturgy?

[Byzantine_Cat]

Our priest was ill and the replacement from the Eparchy read the word and gospel in latin ( as well as English and old Slavic )

Is it common for Latin??..

Thanks

Sure it wasn’t Romanian?

Generally Latin is used very rarely in the Divine Liturgy. At Pascha we read the Gospel in Latin for the Liturgy and again at Agape Vespers, and we may sing “Christus Resurrexit” once after Paschal Matins when we are singing “Christ is Risen” in various languages.

Could be …

But my bet would be on Latin…

Plus he did a couple minor things that seemed roman… ( platen under the chin when receiving rather than a cloth)

We were happy to have him there but I don’t know if this is common or not.

Maybe he was a bi-ritual priest incardinated in the Latin diocese.

I once saw a Priest from Ukraine liturgize several times; his style was very Latinized in some minor things.

I THINK there was a time when Byzantine Catholic priests would hold the diskos under the chin of communicants.

There was even an ACROD parish in the hills of West Virginia that had a Latin-style communion paten in the sacristy. Obviously, it must have been used at SOME point.

I’ve been to DL in an ACROD parish where they used a paten while distributing Holy Communion AND they rang hand bells during the consecration:byzsoc:

There are some ACROD churches that still maintain some of the practices from the days when in communion with the Latin Church. They came to Orthodoxy rather recently–1938. I notice that in certain ACORD parishes the people kneel during the Anaphora. I went to one parish where a framed photo of the founder was displayed in the narthex. Not strange in itself, except for the red trim on the black cassock that led me to believe it was a Catholic cardinal depicted! I thought it quaint but couldn’t figure it out (the photo was in color and looked at earliest 1960’s–long after the 1930’s. Perhaps a photo of the founder, who remained Eastern Catholic, later in life?

I haven’t seen hand bells used, but at a Ruthenian church I attended, they rang the bells during the consecration. I thought that was very awesome.

Could it have been the late Bp. John Martin, who generally dressed like a Latin prelate?

Certain archpriests in ACROD bore the title “Monsignor” and dressed accordingly.

It’s strange–some of the last remnants of old-fashioned Greek Catholicism are found in ACROD.

Could well have been a “Monsignor.” The parish is in Pittsburgh.
