“I presume, drums will be greeting the Patriarch in the Holy Mountain just like they do in Ghana?”

No, more likely Greek bagpipes and a bouzouki or two, but only out front of the church and never inside during a Liturgy. They are as respectful of the sanctity of the liturgy and the temple on the Holy Mountain as the Orthodox in Ghana are.

OK. On one hand, no one is saying that liturgical abuse in the Latin Catholic is tolerable; it is definitely not. On the other hand, posting endless pictures of African-flavor celebrations outside the context of the Mass makes just as much sense as complaining about drums in Ghana.
