I posted this young lady's other video on the TLM! 

I'll have to sit down and watch this.  I've only ever been to one DL, in Kiev.

Information on the Eastern Rite is surprisingly hard to find. when I was still going to the FSSP parish, I had developed an interest in Eastern Catholicism, especially with a Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church in town. However, Google was not my friend that time.

I doubt it (but I actually dont know for sure). The ukrainian and ruthenian Byzantine DLs have wording variations . But nothing in its essentials.

Did she say the daily gospel readings are the same in every rite?  I didn't think they were the same even in the '2' Roman rites.  I know the calendars aren't the same; could that be why they seem different?

I think shes correct we have the same calendar in the east...not with the west (although the uniates share the Holy days)

The services were translated into Hungarian from Church Slavonic in the early 20th century, and they are exactly the same as the services celebrated in Church Slavonic by the Carpatho-Rusyns who lived in the Kingdom of Hungary at the time.  The Greeks do things slightly differently, but the essentials are the same.  For instance, the Greeks and the Slavs both tend to abbreviate the Antiphons, but they do it in different ways.  The Byzantine Liturgy is kind of like the Latin Mass before Trent.  There are minor variations between countries, between dioceses, between villages, and even between parishes.

Hi everyone! I am happy to see such acceptance of this video and it's complicated/delicate topic (as in it is hard to please everyone with a video on this subject). I did have to correct myself on a few things like the readings and also when i foolishly thought "orthodox christians" in the prayer meant the orthodox church of the east... when it really meant the dictionary definition of orthodox..an orthodox christian.. hahaha. nevertheless, thank you! I enjoy reading through this forum now and then!

Well I am cradle Byzantine Ruthenian and  Cantor (in training but almost there) and a Ukrainian Cantor as well. I want you to know you did a very charming and very accurate Job...I was most impressed. Are you eastern rite? Also I noticed the blue book you were singing from in the video is actually the same one I use at the Ukrainian Church as Cantor there. But the Ukrainian and Ruthenian (byzantines) Music and Liturgy have some differences.

Yes i am cradle Byzantine Ukrainian. God bless you for being i assume a very needed cantor for those parishes! There are definitely musical differences between the Ukrainian and the Ruthenian. That is neat you knew first hand the book i was using!

I've attended Divine Liturgies was all sort of language thrown in there.  For feasts, the priest at the local Ruthenian parish would use Greek and Church Slavonic in addition to English for a lot of the prayers - luckily Easterners are used to lots of repetition already.   ;)

I was at a local OCA parish for the Dormition of the Theotokos this past year (the parish's patronal feast) and I think the priest used just about every Eastern European/Eastern European language  there is.  Talk about a long Liturgy!  And they don't have pews.   ;)

Why does it have to be that the pews were removed?  What if they were never there in the first place?  The only Orthodox churches in this area that I've been to that have pews were previously Protestant churches.  The home-grown groups that got their own space for the Divine Liturgy never had any pews.  One has a few folding chairs in the back that everyone lets the older ladies have and the other has a few seats along both side walls, with a little bench in the back, but no pews.

The local Ruthenian parish has pews, which were taken from a local NO parish when new ones were purchased for the parish, but the original pews were there when the Mennonite group that sold the building to the Ruthenian parish decide to move on and sell the church.

I don't see how pews can be considered sinful or any such mess, but they are certainly a Protestant innovation.  I would love to see proof of pews covering the church floor in a church that is, say 1000-1500 years old.  While I don't see why a priest (and it should be the clergy's choice, ultimately, though seating should always be available for those who truly need it) can't decide whether or not to have pews in his parish, not having pews is definitely more traditional, regardless of rite.

That is not at all analogous to pews.  Wooden benches far predate the Earthly Ministry of Christ, air conditioning doesn't.

If you wish to assert pews were not a Protestant innovation, please provide your evidence of pews being used in churches prior to the invention of Protestantism.  I know of no such proof.

Like I said, though, I'm not asserting pews are in any way not allowable.  I would prefer the clergy make the decision of their installation, but I wouldn't argue with a priest one way or the other about the subject.  I can have a perfectly fine worship experience with or without pews and cannot say pews or the lack therefore has ever made or broken my participation in any religious rites in any parish.

Im not getting into a fight over benches....whats wrong with sitting down during Liturgy except at certain important points...also the idea that kneeling should be anathema to eastern riters is another idiocy.
Also define pew...to me it is another name for a bench with a back...and I find it ridiculous to assert there was no such thing as a bench with a back before the 1500s

I never said there was anything wrong with it.  Like I said, either a church filled with pews or with only seating for those who genuinely need it is fine with me (not having seating for those who need it would be uncharitable and not very Christlike).  That said, regardless of the seating situation, or lack thereof, all Christians should follow the genuine and proper norms of any liturgical celebration they attend.  As long as that is observed, whatever else they do is all about personal preference (the local OCA parish has a family who all kneel and prostate themselves during the Anaphora and during the Great Entrance - I've never noticed anyone at all saying or looking at them strangely, though her youngest son is absolutely adorable and hilarious, lol).

As I pointed out previously, what I am talking about is a church full of pews.  That is to say, benches with backs filling the vast majority of the space designated for the laity during worship has no history in Christian churches prior to the Protestant Reformation - that is my understanding of the matter.  If you know this to be untrue, I'd be very interested in being properly informed as to the reality of this matter.

If you assertion is simply that pews existed (under whatever name they were called prior to the Reformation, if the name was different) as benches with backs, then we're in agreement - benches with backs far predate the Protestant Reformation.

Post by: Machaut1377 on February 09, 2014, 03:39:53 PM
Of course benches with backs were around before 1500, just not in churches.

Kneeling in the eastern rites is the posture of penance and with every Sunday basically being a mini-Easter such a posture is inappropriate.
Also, pews I am told get in the way of prostrations.

Pews were used in order to listen better to the sermon, the focal point of Protestant services.

Agreed.  In the Latin Church Monks have been sitting in their choir stalls for a very long time, so I don't see big deal with the laity doing so as well. 

The one history of pews I was able to find suggested that they started showing up in Catholic Churches in about 1050 or so, which would certainly predate the reformation.

To be fair, I have no way of telling how accurate the thing I found is.  But they claim that it was rare prior to the 1300's, but were there in the form of stone benches against the sides of the Church.

"Broad" to me is a disrespectful term.   I suppose I've mostly heard it being used in a negative context.

Obviously there's no water available in your conceptualized church then, KK, since you, being a Midwesterner, know what happens to water pipes when they are exposed to freezing weather without a heating system.

So where do you get the water to make holy water and to mix with the wine at Mass?

Thank you so much for posting this Voxx.  And thank you RebornPure for making it.  I had classmates in the Academy who grew up in the Divine Liturgy, but I always had a hard time understanding where they were coming from.  I've never been to one and there aren't any in my area so please forgive my ignorance.  Did the Divine Liturgy change with VII as well as the Latin Rites?  If not, what kept them pure?  Are there distinctions, i.e. OF and EF?  Are the churches considered to be under the jurisdiction of the Dioceses even though they have their own Bishops?  Sorry for the 20 questions, I've just always been curious.

Vat 2 had the Ironical effect of demanding draconian removal of any actual or suspected latinizations from the DL in the name of tradition if you can belive that! This caused division and strife and condusions that decimated our numbers. Some easterns embraced it but others lamented and became embittered by the removal of uniate practices that had become familiar and embraced for a century. Now its a race to see who can become more like the orthoducks...even rosary groups and Mary crowning traditions were suppressed. The title Mother of Gid became replaced every possible way with Theotokos.( I might start a thread why I personally loath this change). Kneelers were ripped out...2 sunday DLs were dissallowed. No more kneeling for communion..standing was deemed to be the proper posture. Easter was to be refered to as Pasch only...Feast of the assumption became Dormition....its a mess. But the essential parts of DL werent changed...DEO GRACIAS..but the pastoral effects were horrible...IMPO

No, that is alright.

There's just something to be said for modern novelties introduced into the church.

Granted, I'm also a little weird, but I really think audio equipment has no need for use in a church.  None whatsoever.  I can "understand" heat (for old people and stuff), but I still disagree with it (wear a coat?).

One of the things which really opened my eyes as to the deficiency of the Mass of Paul VI compared to the TLM is the Requiem Mass compared to the Mass of Christian Burial.  Looking at those prayers, and the instant canonizations which often take place, really brought the discrepancy between the two into focus for me.  Louis Verrecchio's article on the topic was a big catalyst for me: http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/column.php?n=2548

This causes me to be curious as to what a Funeral/Requiem (sorry, I don't know the proper term for it in the DL) Divine Liturgy looks and sounds like.  If anyone has a link to the text of the DL as well as a good video representation, I would be curious to check it out.
