Why does it have to be on the west side of Cincinnati and not the east?  I should try to visit them sometime. |

You are right. I apologize for having sacked Constantinople. I really need to stop doing that.

Awesome! I do wonder though why western rite parishes often hang up a few icons in front of the altar as some sort of small, see-through iconostasis. It would be the same as placing statues in an EC parish. What exactly did you find awesome about the photos?
The fact that it looks so western. |

No, icons are western. |

It was semi-serious. What's wrong with my statement, though? Icons don't really have a prominent place in the christian west. Awesome!

No, icons are western. Well, no. Not really. Perhaps it was extensively used in Italy for the 6th-10th century but that was because Italy was heavily influenced by the Byzantine Empire at the time. |

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

If I'm not mistaken, Fr. Joseph was pastor at St. Nicholas ACROD in NYC. He and his wife are both very nice people.

Yes, he's that Fr. Joseph Gingrich. And they are good folks.
Icons are deeply entrenched in the Western Church culture from the most ancient times, and not just as a "borrowing" from the East. But even if they WERE due to a "borrowing," the borrowing is a done deal, and they are still warp and woof of the Western Rite. The extensive use of iconography in the Anglo-Saxon church is well documented by St. Bede and others. The iconostasis began in the West. Etc. And during those years, all the way up to the Schism, sculpture was rather rare in both East and West, whereas flat iconography was commonplace.

That is Italians didn't deem icons all that foreign but embraced them as their own. |

I had no idea he was interested in the Western rite. Was he always so, even in seminary? |
