Pope gives Syro-Malabar Catholics Christmas deadline to end dispute
Here is a news note that tells me so much about the faux-Lutheran infatuation with Roman Catholic ritual -
After years of debate about tradition, Latinization and modernization of the liturgy, in 1999 the synod of bishops of the Syro-Malabar church issued uniform rubrics for the celebration of the Eucharist, called the Holy Qurbana by members of the Eastern-rite church. They were trying to end a situation in which some priests faced the altar during the entire liturgy, while others faced the congregation throughout the liturgy. The bishops' decision was to have the priest face the altar during the eucharistic prayer but face the congregation during the Liturgy of the Word and again after Communion.
Priests in most Syro-Malabar dioceses quickly complied with the bishops' decision, although dispensations were issued for the Archdiocese of Ernakulam-Angamaly and a few other territories. The bishops decided to end those dispensations in November 2021.

| The alleged conservative Lutherans must study mixed Syro-Malabar traditions. If ELDONA gets a bishop's hat, shouldn't Matt the Fatt get a mitre? Having only three mitres makes this look like a CLC (sic) clergy gathering. |
