Which eastern rite should i go to?

[ciero]

Certain aspects of formation will and should be different for married candidates. Much of the current seminary formation focuses on celibacy.

There should also be some form of formation for the spouse.

Yes but that is not ideal.

Again, yes but that is not ideal.

The only one that I know about went to a seminary that is for older candidates.

Becuase I am a Byzantine Ruthenian Catholic. I fall under Canon 517.2 of the Code of Canons for Oriental Churches.
Canon 517

1. One is admitted validly to the novitiate of an order or congregation who has completed the seventeenth year of age. In respect to other requirements for admission to the novitiate cann. 448, 450, 452, and 454 shall be observed.
2. No one is admitted lawfully to the novitiate of a religious institute of another Church sui iuris without the permission of the Apostolic See, unless it is a candidate who is destined for a province or house, mentioned in can. 432, of the same Church.
   So at my ordination (God Willing) I will automatically be bi-ritual. Now learning how to celebrate the liturgy and getting faculties to do so will take time but I plan on spending that time.

Let me finish with this. Again Canonically I am a Byzantine Ruthenian Catholic who is a member of a Latin Religious order with permission of the Apostolic See (through the Congregation for the Oriental Churches). I do not wish to enter into any sort of discussion or debate about the whys and wherefores of this.

If you wish to do so I point you to this sticky thread from the Traditionial Catholicism sub-forum, “Let’s talk about clergy and religious …”

I was told by a canon lawyer that a Byzantine ordained in the Latin Rite automatically becomes enrolled in the Latin church, this also works the other way around. Dont see how you would think that you are automatically bi ritual.

Don’t know what canon lawyer you spoke to, as those I have spoken to have told me this.

I will either be ordained in the Byzantine Church or my superior may seek a dispensation from the Oriental Congregation to have me ordained in the Latin Church but I will always be a Byzantine Catholic and will be bi-ritual.

 

[Friar_David_O.Carm]

Also know that there is a difference with regards to religious order priests and secular (diocesen) priests.

But as I said, I am not going to discuss this any further except for the possibility of private messages.

And I request that you respect my wishes in this.

ByzCath, It sounds just like a priest that gets an indult of bi-ritualism or an adaptation of rite, which can revert under specific conditions. You will change eparchy and come under the rule of the Carmelites, I suppose, under Father Fernando Millan Romeral, O. Carm. I suppose you will follow the holy days and penitential seasons and observances under the Carmelite rule? [PM for privacy.]
