Our new pastor revealed his secret latinization… Pews. Other than that, he’s an “Orthodox in communion with Rome” kind of priest.
An organ would thrill several of our parishioners… but also would be a clear no-no.

Pews are more of a protestantization then a latinization.

Aw . . . is your organist bad? Or do you just dislike them in general?

Pews would not fit inside our tiny church, and would be hard pressed to fit a few in the also small Russian Orthodox church I go to at times. Ditto for an organ. These priests would never permit either one.just as the title suggests. i’d like to hear discussion. pros cons etc. and if anyone has a device that will kill the organ in my church but only during services. i’m willing to pay…
The local Greek Orthodox proto cathedral, completed in 1960, has both. I wish they’d at least remove pews from a portion of the church and see what happens…

Still, I prefer the removable chairs… better for disabled access, for carpet cleaning, for HDLs.Pews are more of a protestantization then a latinization.

Since this is posted in the Eastern Catholic forum, I assume we’re referring to an Eastern parish. The tradition of the Eastern churches is to use only the human voice in the divine services. Organs (or any instruments) are not part of this tradition.

That’s what my Church has for pews (no organ though, I think the people would lynch anyone who even suggested such a thing). It’s nice, the back third is pews, there are pews tucked at the side, standing room in the middle.
