I am interested in learning more about the parishes under the Romanians and Serbians that are "bi-ritual" and celebrate some of the time with the St. Germanus Liturgy blessed by St. John Maximovich. I don't know if your response to this post comes up on this blog, or if you only email me or what. Please email me at meinzencamp@gmail.com. Thank you!<br />In Christ our Lord and Master,<br />Fr.

May I ask, how did you find out that there are parishes using this Liturgy under the Romanian and Serbian Patriarchates (that are bi-ritual as you describe), and can you put me in touch with any of them. I would greatly appreciate it.<br /><br />Fr.

If I...Thank you, Fr David, for that clarification.<br /><br />If I may come back to what I wrote earlier: I have recently found out that there actually ARE some post-St John Maximovitch parishes under the Patriarchate of Romania and their situation is similar to those which are under the Serbian Orthodox Church (bi-ritual, primarily Eastern rite, Western rite - occasionally, when celebrating days of some important Western saints).Michał Oleksyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073195848421338608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7667317809584638708.post-56560810434398314112010-02-02T06:04:08.095-06:002010-02-02T06:04:08.095-06:00You may see photos of a recent WEstern Rite Solemn...You may see photos of a recent WEstern Rite Solemn celebration on the ROCOR Western Rite English website.WRITEHISTORIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841674624020421907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7667317809584638708.post-83793934054289833962010-01-30T09:23:09.542-06:002010-01-30T09:23:09.542-06:00Actually the "Mt.

If you compare the text and ceremonial to the Tridentine you will see it differs in many respects. Much of the militaristic fussiness of the Tridentine is removed. Like the earlier Roman Rite it has little of the later Tridentine Offertory rite. The Bread and Wine are simply transferred to the Altar during the singing of the Offertory verse (or at a Simple service the priest pours Wine and water into the chalice, blessing them with a simple prayer and then on to the original Offertory prayer -- the Secret.) The Mt. Royal was an attempt at recovering a generic Western Rite Use for a specific Monastic community back in 1963. It was originally blessed for use by Abp Dositheus of the Moscow Patriarchate. Later it was also blessed for use by ROCOR (I think around 1974 or so). It is taylor-made for small chapels/situations. Having assisted at it first as a layman, then as a deacon and finally as a priest I can vouch for its Orthodox "feel" and dignity. <br />Like the Tridentine, the "ideal" is Solemn "High" Mass but I don't think Mt. Royal has been so celebrated since early days at St. Nicholas Russian Cathedral in NY (when Dom Augustine Whitfield, Fr. James Hroblak, (now) Fr. Benedict Tallent and others were holding regular services there). These days it is hard to find and assemble priest,deacon,subdeacon etc. in one place for a WRITE Liturgy.Fr.

The Romanian Church has parishes using a theoretical reconstruction of the lost Gallican rite, a usage kept in France in the 1960s under Abp. St. John Maximovitch.<br /><br />As far as I know, none of these parishes is under the Romanian Church anymore. Most of them are divided between two non-canonical jurisdictions and a few are under the Serbian Church as bi-ritual parishes using - as far as Liturgy is concerned - the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom (primarily) and the Liturgy of St Germanus (occasionally), and - as far as Office is concerned - the Benedictine Office (primarily) and the Byzantine Office (occasionally). At least this is how I understand the situation.<br /><br />MichaelMichał Oleksyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073195848421338608noreply@blogger.com
