I have seen chalices which hold half a gallon or more, used by the Patriarch of Moscow at great national celebrations, and have celebrated with one holding more than a litre of wine at the Rite of Preparation of the Offering. It is so much simpler when you have a continuity of Tradition. The revolutionary disruption of Liturgy in the West in the 20th century still obviously causes heartache and headache, rather than bringing the desired peace and joy and understanding. I am truly sorry it should be so.B flathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611595580578224726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-72725130675189073652011-01-11T12:24:48.662+00:002011-01-11T12:24:48.662+00:00Re Orthodox priests concelebrating with a bishop. ...Re Orthodox priests concelebrating with a bishop. Say not that it is "a sign that the bishop never acts alone but always with his clergy", but rather that it is a sign that the priest never acts alone but always in obedience to his bishop.<br /><br />A bishop inviting a priest to concelebrate with him is a symbolic acknowledgement by the bishop that that priest shares in his ministry. Indeed, a priest may not serve the Divine Liturgy on his own <i>at all</i> without first receiving from his Bishop an <i>antimension</i>, similar to the Western corporal, but containing amongst other things the bishop's signature. If a priest is placed under censure, the bishop will take back the antimension and will forbid him to concelebrate.<br /><br />But I concur with your annoyance, and am delighted with the CDW's response.Stephennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-83824282026497847252011-01-11T12:00:31.659+00:002011-01-11T12:00:31.659+00:00It also doesnt' help if there are priests wear...It also doesnt' help if there are priests wearing nice vestments in the same picture/sanctuary as priests wearing really crummy vestmentsJust another mad Catholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503510474554718305noreply@blogger.com
