Burying St. Joseph in the ground is nothing but shear superstition.

Holy Transfiguration outside of Washington, D.C. is probably the best Melkite parish in the U.S.A. Lent is the best time to visit because Fr. Joseph Francavilla has liturgies every night followed by shared suppers. It is probably the most welcoming Catholic Church I have ever been to. Also, Paul Weyrich belongs there as a deacon.

The Melkite Patriarch is also a successor of St. Peter because St. Peter founded the Patriarchate of Antioch.

That is absolutely correct! How familiar are you with the Eastern Catholic Churches?
