I think it's terrifying to see that even Byzantine Catholic Divine Liturgies aren't safe from abuse. Is this normal in Byzantine Catholic parishes?

Yeah, it's impossible to walk anywhere around the rust belt without bumping into a polka mass. Polka masses are practically pouring out of the ground.

I fully expect that behavior of Ordinary Form Latin Rite priests.
