Apparently Marvel and DC comics attribute religion to their characters based on their ethnic background. Clearly this applies to real life as well.
So by that logic it isn’t true Catholicism if it isn’t in Latin?
No, I will never think of such a thing, nor does the Latin Rite think in such a way. This thinking comes from Orthodoxy. I am just calling it to the front. Orthodoxy prides herself from her Orthodox Liturgy in Language and culture. To me it is not significant, in what language or culture God hears his Children say “I love you” from a valid liturgy.
There is a difference between comics and real life.Apparently Marvel and DC comics attribute religion to their characters based on their ethnic background. Clearly this applies to real life as well.
I personally follow a syncretic blend of the Anglican, Presbyterian, and Catholic religion.
Sure. I’m born and raised American, a generic Euro-mutt who speaks English (and some Spanish). I’ve been to a handful of Orthodox parishes in different parts of the country, and not once did I feel like I had to trade my culture for another one. Everyone has been extremely welcoming, and only once was the service in anything other than 100% English (it was about 50% Greek with a book for those who didn’t speak it).
Not according to Gabriel and Josie it seems.
Orthodoxy has no such belief. I don’t know how you got it in your head that it does.
SURPRISED; then how much do you know of Orthodoxy?
truth.
I’m just a member, who has communed with Churches under multiple juristictions, including that of the Ecumenical Patriarch, in a service that contained a significant amount of English.
I find it difficult to answer a western Orthodox with an Eastern Orthodox mindset who would never waver his faith to a foreign language in his liturgy? How is this possible? Maybe that is why Orthodoxy does what ever it wants too, when it does not have Peter to recall their Apostolic origin. I am inviiting pure Orthodox Catholics to this forum, I don’t think they would disagree with what Iam saying here?
Your posts are confusing. In the same way that Roman Catholic liturgies are not all in Latin, Orthodox liturgies are not all in Greek/Arabic/Slavonic/etc. You do realize that the Eastern Catholic churches do the same thing, where some parishes may have liturgies in all Arabic/Slavonic/Ukrainian/etc., while others may have English liturgies (or whatever the vernacular is). As far as Orthodoxy goes, I have been to Russian Orthodox and Orthodox Church in America parishes that have English liturgies, and they are no less “Orthodox” than the Slavonic liturgy that may be later in the day. Similarly, some Roman Catholic parishes that I have attended have an Extraordinary Form Mass (obviously in Latin), an English Mass, a Spanish Mass, and/or a Creole Mass. So, your post isn’t making any sense at all.
What are you talking about? The language of the liturgy has nothing to do with the faith. We do the same thing as you Latins or the Eastern Catholics presently do, except we have always done it this way, which is more than can be said of the Latin church. Central authority and “doing whatever we want” have nothing to do with it.
Calm down! It could be that he is simply misinformed. Fraternal correction does not include knee-jerk accusations.
One who is misinformed on a topic he might not know about does not reply “You don’t know much about…” to someone who is demonstratably more familiar with the topic at hand when asked where he got the information. However giving him the benifit of the doubt I have asked him where he got this information from three times now. If he can neither admit he may have been misinformed nor give reference to what has mislead him than the only alternative is that he is libelling the Faith for his own purpose, and is a troll.
Your first point was the following
You mean regarding the East West issue of free press and how the free flow of information differs dramatically between the two?While we’re at it, perhaps you could explain how your above remark advances the conversation, since you have assumed the role of judge and critic
