It is no secret the Latin Rite Church is experiencing some particularly confusing and painful times. In light of this, the Eastern Catholic Churches may have something to offer our Latin Rite brethren.

"Why do Latin Rite Liturgies have periods of silence and Eastern Rite Liturgies do not.? Why do Eastern Catholics stand and Latin Rite Catholics kneel? The answer lies in the question."

Eastern Catholics often wonder: What is our place in the world, the Church at large, and in ecumenical dialogue? The Holy Father's own representative provided an encouraging answer to those questions during a recent visit to the U.S.

There is saint spelled with a small s and saint spelled with a capital S. The life of a baptized Christian is a journey toward turning the small s into a capital S.

There is a hole in the very soul of modern western civilization and Eastern Christian spirituality with its sacramental liturgical world view and monastic rhythm can supply the healing balm for the modern world.

Devotional practices between the Eastern and Western lungs of the Church are often different from each other yet they arrive at the same point. These differences are not deficits but rather, complements.

The Sunday of All Saints occurs in the Eastern Lung of the Church on the Sunday after Pentecost. From this observance we learn that to be human is simply to become a saint. A saint is just a normal human being.

Are the services in Eastern Catholic Churches really very long? Can Eastern Catholic priests get married? Why are there different rites? We will give you the straight story on these questions and more on this Pentecost Sunday.

Let's face it. We all need to read the Bible more and to actually become the Bible. The Liturgy, art and architecture of the Eastern Churches can actually immerse us into the Bible.

Young adults can be the most vital population in the Church and the most elusive. Our special guests will tell us about a FIRST EVER opportunity offered by the Byzantine Catholic Church for young adults.
