I note that the Slovaks are apparently using the same straight-barred crucifix as the Ukrainian Catholics, or one similar to it. Many of the laity are not standing for the Divine Liturgy, and many are also wearing the yellow scarves (with an image of Francis on them)? Products of Latin marketing. The choir is good, but I couldn't tell how many of the faithful were singing along with the coir. Apparently it wasn't important enough for the pope or the MCs to learn the proper liturgical gestures. Not that they would be required to use them in every instance, but what's all this talk by Latins about active participation? I don't think Pope Francis learned anything about liturgical participation from his experience at this Divine Liturgy.

Our Lady of Guadalupe in the Byzantine Rite

Should the supposed feast of the patroness of the Americas (rather than just Ibero-America) be observed by the BCA? Why isn't it sufficient for the United States to observe the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (or the Feast of the Conception of St. Anna)? It is not even clear to me that the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe is important to the rest of Ibero-America, rather than just to Mexico. Was the declaration of Our Lady of Guadalupe as the patroness of the Americas by Pope John Paul II, in conjunction with the earlier "synod" of bishops, motivated by political or patriarchate concerns?
