Our priests spoke to us about this lately. It was MOST interesting.

Glad to hear this. It's about time. Did they also explain that a Roman Catholic may attend mass at any Eastern Catholic Church and fulfill their Sunday obligation.

Yep, we got the whole nine yards. But most of knew that eons ago.
It never hurts to hear important things more than once, does it?

This past summer I was in eastern Europe and happened to be in Belgrade for a Sunday...and I went to a Serbian Catholic Church and heard the Mass in Serbian. I understood only "Jesu Christus." The Serbian and eastern European languages are SO different to what I am used to. They do NOT sound like Russian, German or anything I had ever heard before.

The Mass was just like here...so I did know when and where to receive communion...but the sermon? Hahaha, I just stared. The priest, about 45 years old, did notice me as I am so OBVIOUSLY American. I might as well wear a flag on my head. It was MOST interesting, so foreign yet so familiar.
