Marieteresa Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) I was watching the daily mass today and I guess that Fr. Mitch Pacwa is doing a mass in another rite on there. Iam just wondering if anyone watched it and knows which rite hes doing the mass in. I know its not the Roman rite... My bad...Hes only assisting in mass, it looks very different from maronite.....Does anyone know of a different rite that they use in India?

Era Might Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Fr. Mitch is biritual. I think he celebrates the Maronite rite. Pretty cool to see it on EWTN! I like the vestments that Bishop is wearing, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Era Might Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I think the Bishop said he's from the Syro-Malabar Church. Here's a website that lists all the rites: [url="http://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/catholic_rites_and_churches.htm"]http://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/catholi...nd_churches.htm[/url] [quote]Syro-Malabarese - Catholics from Southern India using the East Syriac liturgy. Returned to Rome in the 16th century from the Nestorian heresy. Liturgical languages are Syriac and Malayalam. Over 3 million Syro-Malabarese Catholics can be found in the state of Kerela, in SW India.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zunshynn Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Care to explain what you didn't like so much that you felt a need to say it twice Rev? lol. I don't watch the daily Mass to much because I feel wierd. Like... How do you watch a Mass. Are you supposed to act like you're there. I don't feel I'm attentive enough. Maybe I should though. It might help me get the hang of the Latin responses I'll have to use at OLAM. I might tonight. I'd love to see a Mass in another rite, even if I'm not there personally.

the_rev Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I wonder if they had the permission of the diocese to celebrate this rite today, because they would need permission to do so.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Era Might Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 The guy celebrating mass was a Bishop. I think they had his permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_rev Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 It was a bishop of a different rite correct? If so, special permission would still be needed by the diocese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan1104 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 It was a bishop who is bi-ritual. No permission needed. Any Catholic bishop may publicly celebrate any Catholic rite. Absolutely beautiful! I know that about ten or so years ago, Mother Angelica told her viewers/guests that she wanted to have every Catholic rite- Western or Eastern- celebrated on air... at least now she's starting to get her wish.

DiscerningSoul Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 (edited) I like watching mass on EWTN, I know its not the same as being there, but it helps keep my mind focused on our Lord. Edited July 26, 2006 by DiscerningSoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's EWTN. Of course it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seven77 Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 yes! I was just about to post about this. This was Syro-Malankara rite i believe.
