Any statistics on ROCOR Western Rite?
I remember they just received 10 new parishes with 18 priests from the HOCACA earlier this month.
What does HOCACA mean? Holy Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church of America (HOCACA) Either that, or it's a curse word. Hocaca!  |

There is no more evident sign that anyone is a saint and of the number of the elect, than to see him leading a good life and at the same time a prey to desolation, suffering, and trials. - Saint Aloysius Gonzaga

A significant event (1) and one which gives hope to ROCA's Western Rite since up until now our Western Rite has been three or four isolated monks. Now we have parishes, albeit small. I had a small personal involvement with this matter. There are 2 bishops (now archimandrites) (2) 10 priests 3 deacons ______________________ 1. Here is the announcement by Archbishop Anthony [Bondi] http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/forum/index.php/topic,31194.msg492286/topicseen.html#msg4922862. To be accurate, the senior hierarch has not yet been ordained in ROCA but is waiting until all his priests are ordained. That will be mid December. Btw, the figure of 18 comes about by counting 3 subdeacons and 1 nun. |

Igantius Nichols, ordained by Abp. Aftimos, Bp. Joseph Zuk of the UOC, and Bp. Sophronius Bishara. He was consecrated in the Brooklyn Cathedral (site of St. Raphael's consecration, the first in the new world), the first of a born American and convert, for the Western Rite Vicarate and English speaking Americans. He lasted 10 months before going vaganti (he is responsibility for several lines), but his successor brought his group back into the Antiochian Archdiocese as the Western Rite Vicarate. |

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

The two bishops are being ordained priests and elevated to the rank of archimandrite. |

I have just had a PM on the subject of your question reminding me of the moderatorial instructions given for this thread by Father Anastasios. See message 123. |

See message 123. Haven't seen it before. The intention of my question was to get to know if Abp. Anthony decided for that kind of step which was taken for example by the late Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow or the late Metropolitan Basil of Warsaw. Nevermind. |

Please refrain from gossip or speculation about individuals. If this continues this thread will be locked. This thread is about liturgical practices of the Western Rite. Please keep the discussion limited to this area and take any other discussion to their appropriate section. I am going through this entire thread and removing any names or identifications of specific people and replacing them with ********
