Question for Former Orthodox or Eastern-Rite Catholics

[Ancilla Domini]

Getting back to the original topic, I did attend a Divine Liturgy this past week, as a guest. But given the uproar that this has caused here, I won't continue to discuss it on the forum. Anyone interested in continuing the conversation is welcome to PM me.

I live near an Orthodox church.  D:

Sec. 1 It is not licit for the faithful by any manner to assist actively or to have a part in the sacred [rites] of non-Catholics.
Sec. 2 Passive or merely material presence for the sake of honor or civil service, for grave reason approved by the Bishop in case of doubt, at the funerals, weddings, and other solemnities of non-Catholics, provided danger of perversion and scandal is absent.

For a the spouses of a marriage in which one remains in Communion with Constantinople and another with Rome, not violating these canons is nearly impossible !!!  I've met and known people in this circumstance.  Over in Syria and Lebanon, where my mother spent part of her childhood, these canons have been violated for centuries... I find the level of ignorance of these canons quite odd. 

The Eastern Catholic churches have their own canon law. There may be different rules in effect there.

Yes, I researched this, there are no canons that are THAT different, regarding intermarriage.

Unfortunately, I do not believe most Roman Rite Catholics have any serious interest or concern with for instance the history of the relations and or intermarriage between the Melkites "Greek" Catholics and Antiochian "Greek" Orthodox. As this forum is dominated by those of the Roman Rite, this type of obscure controversy over faith and canons simply is not on their radar.

Either intermarriage between all of them is always forbidden or it is not forbidden. Traditionally I believe it is always forbidden between all sui juris churches and schismatic churches.

I believe mixed marriages are a problem. All royalty in Europe has always converted to the other faith upon marriage arranged between those formerly E. Orthodox or R. Catholic/E. Catholic.

Thank you, Kayla_Veronica, for your display of Catholic wisdom, prudence, and charity in this thread. The cavalier attitude toward the possibility of communicatio in sacris is worrisome. It is true charity that warns of spiritual danger, even when such a warning is unwelcomed.

Benefit of doubt doesn't exclude charitable warnings out of love for another when the purpose isn't made clear.

We could also bring up whether partaking of the antidoron would be blasphemous, occasionally Orthodox  (dare I say modernist influenced Orthodox) attempt to offer this to those who are not Orthodox. My understanding is that this is a modernist influence in their church, but what do I know. Who here even knows what antidoron is....

Do not assume that all Traditional Roman Catholics are ignorant of Byzantine Catholics' ways. I am well aware of what 'Antidoron' is.    I formerly attended a Ruthenian Catholic parish some years before coming upon my present Traditional parish. Still love the Divine Liturgy: so holy and mystical like that of the Traditional Latin mass!

Being formally Orthodox, I do.

It means "Instead of the gifts."

You are also correct that this traditionally isn't done. In a ROCOR or other old calendar church you would not see antidoron being given to non-Orthodox.

He was replying that he knew what Antidoron was; that's all.

I believe Roland meant that he was formerly Orthodox.

He should get rid of that ipad.

LOL....wow. I have to admit to that being my own fat fingers on a regular keyboard.

I have not had a case of Re-Dox....don't worry.

I knew what he meant. I didn't even see the missing spelling. 

[Kaesekopf]

Oh, I knew what he meant.  I just wanted to rib on him.
