What Church do you belong to/frequent?

[Semper_Fi_1]

I’m Latin and attend both the Byzantine Rite and the Novus Ordo.

I am registered at St. Nicholas of Myra, a Byzantine-Ruthenian parish.

I am canonically Roman, for the moment.

from October 2004 - 2007, I was registered at St. Andrew’s, a Roman Rite parish. (I spent the last 3 years seeing if I could handle being roman again… and realized, no, I can’t. It doesn’t fill my needs as a Catholic Christian.)

From 1992-2004, I was registered at St. Nicholas.

You do realize that switching rites is a permanent thing and may only be done once in your life, correct? This means all your kids will canonically belong to whatever rite you choose to switch to until they have to go to the same process as you to go Latin if they wish…

My understanding is that a change of canonical enrolment can be done more than once - though obviously it is not very easy to arrange.

Born and raised Ukrainian Catholic. That wasn’t an option, so I picked other.

Quite well aware of it.

Although, a careful read of Canon Law does not show the once in a lifetime restriction, the Post Vatican II Conciliar documents do. Canon law says for just purpose.

I’ve read all three (Roman Canon Law, Code of Canon Law for the Eastern Churches, and the VII Post-concilliar documents) in entirety several times.

I split my time evenly between the Melkite Church and the Dominicans of the Latin Church. I’m canonically Latin, but I selected Byzantine because that is the Rite I have the most direct involvement in (my involvement with the Latin Church is primarily in the educational offerings of the Dominican Order).

I would like to know who selected Armenian, being Armenian by blood myself.

Peace and God bless!

I was hoping you would also pick the Armenians yourself!

The Ukrainian Catholic Church uses the Byzantine rite, so that would have been the more appropriate choice.

True. I was thinking that afterwards, but the poll won’t let you change your vote.

On the other hand, there are some minor differences between the Byzantines and the Ukrainians, partially I believe because of the different geographic locations.

No, there aren’t.

The Rite is Byzantine, even tho the tradition and recension differ from other byzantines.

The Specific Church is UGCC, and it is one of several churches of the Byzantine Rite.

I meant smaller differences, as in practices, customs, and so on, vs. the larger factor in common, the rite. Sorry for the confusion.

Woodstock,

The Macedonian Exarchate, like that of the Serbs and Montenegrons, is ascribed to the Croat Church (what the list refers to as the Byzantine Church of the Eparchy of Križevci

Many years,

Not sure if this was said yet, but Maronite is a part of the Antiochene Rite. The two aren’t separate. The Antiochene Rite includes:
Maronite Church
Syriac Catholic Church
Syro-Malankara Catholic Church

I currently attend a Maronite parish. I first started going there because all of the Latin Rite parishes in the area were nearly Protestant in almost every way. But now I love the Maronite liturgy so much and the theology behind the Antiochene tradition is beautiful.

Pace e Bene

Only in the blood, sadly. There’s not much of an Armenian community in these parts to warrant an Armenian Liturgy, so it’s not offered to my knowledge. Luckily the Lebanese and other Middle Eastern Catholics/Orthodox are happy to have me among them. I’ve actually met a few Armenians through the local Melkite community, thanks to the relatively high rate of intermarriage.

Peace and God bless!
