The Maronite liturgy?
« on: March 06, 2023, 09:17:22 PM »
I'm largely ignorant of this liturgy but have seen it thrown around with disdain here. The area im looking to move would have a Maronite Church right in town (https://maps.app.goo.gl/5jUfrDSennhUJBsB6), but is it valid like the Tridentine or Eastern liturgies? Or to be avoided like the NOM?

The Maronites use a West Syriac liturgy that has been heavily Latinised and, consequently, influenced by the Novus Ordo Missae.

Unfortunate, I'm seeing that it's versus populum; like a more reverent NOM.

I'm going to a Maronite liturgy this coming Sunday for the first time (wasn't able to this passed Saturday). I'll let you know. Somebody I know went years ago, said it was versus populum. Question is, is that something they ever had a tradition of doing at all in that rite.

I came across this article, it seems like the Maronite has truly become the NOM of the East.
