Ordinary Form / Novus Ordo - question for Eastern Catholics

[JamestheOlder]

Jim-
I have no problem with the rest of your post. Thank you for your thoughts.

You probably don’t realize that the term “uniate” is often used in a pejorative way in some circles. Some of us have considered embracing it and using it to describe ourselves, as some will happily call themselves a “papist”, embracing that term which likewise gets used sometimes in a derogatory way.

I’m sure you meant no disrespect in using it. Call us Eastern Catholics and Oriental Catholics, EC/OC, Greek Catholics, Byzantine Catholics, Orthodox in communion with Rome… :whacky: all confusing terms to many, as is our status in the Body of Christ.

Thanks for your positive thoughts, 5Loaves. I meant no disrespect; please chart this gaffe up to my age, when we used the term, respectfully, to differentiate between Churches in union with Rome from those brethren still separated.

I have learned much from this thread, and I will count this also.

Thanks. And double thanks for your kind words on proper celebrations of the Novus Ordo.
