"Yes, only the pure and unchanged liturgy of St. James will do."
Nice try Petrosius but the only difference between the three is the wording of the canon. The original one, of course, is that of St. James. The others are slightly shorter. All three are retained. We don't persecute parishes for retaining them. Finally, unlike Alcuin of York, Orthodox never interpolated words into the Creed to make it say what they want it to say. Nor have they exchanged azymes for leavened bread, or put Protestant hymns in the liturgy as have the Novus Ordo clergy, or composed prayers for the liturgy that draw heavily on Augustine of Hippo.
Don't you get it?
There is a spirit in the West, a spirit of restlessness and dissatisfaction. Because of this, the West keeps on reinventing the wheel, even the liturgical wheel. Why? It all started with Augustine, and then the Council of Toledo, and then Alcuin and his liturgical tinkering, and then Henry II actually telling the Pope what liturgy he could employ in his very own basillica, and then the Cluniac Reform with its policy as to forced clerical celibacy, and then the new paschalion in 1582, and most recently the imposition of worst liturgy ever concocted(the disgusting Novus Ordo).
You people are sick. And you just cannot seem to stop ruining the world you live in.
Get some help.
Such a minor thing the Canon. Why anyone should be able to write his own.
But that was not the only change. The liturgy of St. John Chrysostom today is not the same as that of his day. Let's see, we will have to eliminate the Trisagion (introduced by Proklos of Constantinople in the 5th cent., you know), the Cherubikon and the Creed (introduced by Justin II in the 6th cent.), and the Proskomide (introduced in the 9th cent. and subject to change up to the 16th cent.). Such evil little tinkerers. Who would have known?
