Eastern Catholic Study of the Eastern Rite Catholic Filipinos

Saturday, July 2, 2011

Ever since we start, alongside my comrades Gino Pastoriza Paradela and Jared Dale Combista, this Blog which composed of the Triplet sites with the Fan Page and the Closed Group (which you can click here and and also here, which is the CLOSED Group, which means Admin are the ones who will admitt People from this FB Group), we aim on having a Community for Eastern Catholics, though i know that they have Transient nature, which means not all of the Eastern Catholics here are not living permanently, or they are being absorbed to the Majority Roman Rite. Most of the Eastern Catholics here are composed by the Syro Malabar Catholics, which form the majority, and have celebrated Holy Qurbana here in 2009, some of the pictures are taken from this Blog and at the same time most of their Priest are being sent here to study, many of them become Incardinated here and does have a Biritual Faculty to celebrate the Roman Rite Holy Mass, along with them are small groups of Syro Malankara and Maronites, though i have to confirmed it once i research on these group of People except for the Syro Malabar comunity, seeing that they are a Visible one

Knowing for the fact of planning a Divine Liturgy Eastern Catholic Byzantine Rite will be opposed here, andi still studying together with conversing with Friends abroad the circumstances about it, having they have given me necessary points to remind of what will i do in forming this group of people expressing of having a Eastern Catholic community. First, if ever there is a Community here, then contact them and second, instead of easily established a Filipino Eastern Catholic Community, we must first have a Study Group that will disseminate all information regarding Eastern Catholic Churches, and presiding services taken from the Typika, a book of daily office in the Byzantine Rite. As of now we have 20 People who have expressed support on this Study Group, and later on we could send letters on respective nearby Eastern Catholic ecclesiastical territory requesting for Priest to celebrate Divine Liturgy here, though we have not yet make any plans to do so, knowing the uproar that will make among the Latin Rite Hierarchs and the Eastern Orthodox Community, of which i am conversing privately with my confidants to discuss circumstances that will play around it.

Right now, we have set up a " Study Group Community" here in this Closed Group Eastern Rite Catholic Filipinos, Twin Group of the Blog and the Fan Page along with my Comrade Admins. i am already making a Contact from Eastern Catholic Clergies abroad, mostly Ukrainian Greek Catholic, Romanian Greek Catholic, Melkite Greek Catholic and some Ruthenian Greek Catholics. Though it is not certain if we will have planned Divine Liturgy according here, we are progressing very slowly, with little success. But i am have to make a foresight on it,  studying every circumstances regarding this plan of mine and some confidants

PRESVJATA BOGORODICE, SPASI NAS (MOST HOLY THEOTOKOS, PROTECT US)
GOSPODE ISUSE KRISTI, SINE BOZJI, POMILUJ GRJESNOGA
(LORD JESUS CHRIST, SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON ME A SINNER)
