Francois Member Registered: 08/11/08 Posts: 58 Loc: Canada	Thanks for the nice article! I wish it could be this simple. Change of rite is impossible in some cases, because of lack of leadership in a certain Eastern Catholic Eparchy. It might be much simpler to convert to Orthodoxy.....

Many years, Neil (Btw, that's a beautiful photo, taken at St Mary's, if I'm not mistaken. You wouldn't, by chance, have another of just the iconostasis? Not that I don't think the clergy aren't photogenic , but I'd love to find a more close-up photo of the iconostasis than the one I currently use on the mission's directory entry.) _________________________ "One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

Peter J Member Registered: 02/21/05 Posts: 565 Loc: New England	I think she hit the nail on the head with the word “honorable”. Ultimately it's an honor system: there are some married EC priests who were once Roman-rite (I know one of them personally) but this isn't meant to be a way to circumvent the Latin Church's prohibition on married clergy.

Andrew Ray Member Registered: 05/29/11 Posts: 30 Loc: Husak, Slovakia	Is there a link to what Fr. Maximos said concerning vocations? I have the impression I once read something about it, but do not see any thing about it on their monastery website.
