"You claim that St. Ephrem's is a Novus Ordo institution because ???????"

No, I said the Maronite Rite has been "Novus-ordo-ized".

I said the Maronite Rite has been "Novus-ordo-ized".

I have already posted a rather detailed explanation of what has happened to the Maronite liturgy over the course of 2000 (YES 2000 years), when the Latin Rite prelates were sent to Lebanon to "latinize" thier liturgy. They went so far as to burn their Sacramentaries! For 400 years, the Maronite liturgy was subject to scrutiny by the Roman Rite prelates. Only in recent times, has the pope acknowledged the history of the Maronite liturgy and suggested that they do their best to restore it.

Now, you tell me that is has been Novusordoized, whatever that means. Please post specifics because I am at a total loss to undertand where you are coming from on this miserable situation that was inflicted on them by the Roman Church, pre Vatican II.
