"Patriarch of New Orleans,"etc. I think would be better. I like that idea. We could re-evangelize the French Quarter and turn into our Phanar. Then, of course, we could build an Iconostas in the Basilica of St. Louis, King of France. We would then have to write an Akathist to St. Joan of Arc, one of the patrons of our city...
The Latins might have a few things to say, however (in a friendly tone, of course)...
Dmitri And, y'all can save money on chotki. You can use all those Mardi Gras beads for your prayers, now that Mardi Gras (and Ash Wednesday) will no longer exist. :p :p :p

There is ample evidence of the way the BC metropolitan church functions. This is partly evidenced by the fact that three eparchies have AFAIK removed the filioque officially from the text of the creed while one has not, that one being the Archeparchy. Further Parma and Passaic have issue liturgical books which again AFAIK are to be used in those eparchies but obviously cannot be mandated to be used elsewhere except by the local ordinary. If you are in a BC parish and involved it becomes more apparent I think.

Logos Teen I guess y'all are out there with us in North Carolina...I could swear we were in the Archeparchy, since after the Holy Father, and before Bishop Andrew, we pray for the Metropolitan...if we aren't in the Archeparchy, where are we??????????

Ladyhawke,
You are in the Metropolia of Pittsburgh (Which covers the entire US) which is why you commemorate Metropolitan Basil and the Eparchy of Passaic (Which covers the Eastern seabord states from Maine to Florida) which is why you commemorate Bishop Andrew.
In Christ,
Subdeacon Lance

Slava Isusu Kristu,
We'd have to move it up two days. Instead of Fat Tuesday it would have to be "Fat Sunday".
It could be done...
Dmitri

Dear Lance:
I do agree that the individual Bishops of the various eparchies of the BCA Metropolia have their own intrinsic powers as heads of the local/particular Churches.
What I was driving at was that His Eminence Basil is not merely an Archbishop: he is a Metropolitan Archbishop who enjoys, under Church laws, a primacy of honor AND a primacy of jurisidiction. Accordingly, his authority as Metropolitan covers and extends over the entire Metropolia of the BCA, which is the entire U.S.
The various eparchies of the BCA are under the auspices of the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh, the Bishops of which are, or are considered, suffragan bishops of the Metropolitanate.
I think we really do not disagree on these points.
Amado

Lance, I have a question for you:
On page 1 of this thread you said that Met. Basil can erect institutions in any of the 50 states. Does that mean that he can canonically establish a monastery (monks or nuns) in any of the 50 states? Is that what your statement means?
Thank you in advance.

Amonasticbeginner,
I was mistaken, only a patriarch or major archbishop may erect a stavropigial monastery or institution.
In Christ,

Since the Byzantine/Ruthenian Metropolia is not of Patriarchal or major archbishopric status, any "stauropegial" monastic foundation for the Byzantine Catholic Metropolia would need the approval of the Eastern Congregation in Rome. Stauropegial simply means the monastery is directly subject to the Patriarch.
The Eparch (or Metropolitan depending on the location) can, however, bless the foundation of a monastery directly subject to that hierarch if within his geographical boundaries. Holy Transfiguration, Holy Transfiguration Skete in the USA and the Holy Mother of God Monastery in Canada were erected in that way.

As was Holy Resurrection in Newberry Springs, CA (Eparchy of Van Nuys).
