CC-

So in your opinion, was the Maronite Rite attended by the priest in the OP a modernist invention, or a traditional Maronite Rite (with perhaps a couple unfortunate modernizations)?

If you could only characterize it as "mostly modernist" or "mostly traditional," which would it be?

Fun to head I say modern Lebanese version of traditional Maronite liturgy

The oriental churches are very child like in theology. For example most would not have any idea about  the difference between lets say nature and person. The use of philosophy is abhorrent to Antiocian theology. The emphasis is upon the " Voice which called Adam from amongst the trees, the seraphim shaking their wings because of Adams banishment and The Voice calling Adam back to life. The Voice which Adam said sounded like that which had called him in Paradise" The theology is thoroughly Aramaic and Persian in character and thoroughly Semetic. There are existing Church structures that were clearly Jєωιѕн in origin. The building is supposed to be specifically structured that way.
The whole mindset is completely different than the Latin theology.

You're right, the Lebanese do seem to be quite lazy with the liturgy. I do not speak Arabic, but from what I saw, I saw this bizarre Hollywood-esque synthesizer music, half the congregation in jeans and no head covering, and people making a mockery of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It was quite sad.
