Dear Carole,

Not a problem, if you like, direct those RC's to me and I will be pleased to have an enlightening discussion with them . . .

I promise it will be civil, no, really, I mean it, you must believe me now, truly . . . wink

What you said reminds me of a letter by the Greek-Catholic bishop Boretsky (ancestor of our Bishop Kyr Isidore Boretsky, eternal memory - and mine as well) who wrote to (Saint) George Konissky and said, "In anger, the Poles will call us (Greek-Catholics), as well as you (Orthodox) "schismatics."

Yup. We all get thrown into the same bag. I say we should go out of our way to give them some "holy competition". biggrin

Christos Voskrese!

Some people say that the Maronites or the Chaldeans are the most Latinised. I disagree. I think it's we Syro-Malabars. See http://members.aol.com/smalabar/apr23rdbul.pdf . Divine Mercy Sunday was celebrated on the Second Sunday of Easter -- in our cathedral church in Chicago. frown

It is terrbile really but it just goes to show how deeply western they are. I was looking at the internet site for the Major Archdiocese and just from looking a the photos and the western use of terms they have not improved much since Vat II. It still looks like a European import.
Sad really. let us hope someone somewhere will do something about all this.
