Sitting During the Homily
This is a stsandard practice in Byzantine churches; what is to be done if there are no pews or chairs? I have seen people sit on the floor or carpet, "Indian-style" (that term is undoubtedly not PC these days) but that seems to me to be rather questionable and unrefined, especially since people do not take their shoes off before they enter a temple. Sitting "Japanese" style or seiza seems preferable as one is more mobile and one will not get one's bottom dirty because of a dirty floor or carpet, and it looks a bit more dignified. Did Jews ever sit in the Temple? How did they sit, if at all, when listening to a teacher /rabbi?

The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem has a Facebook page... isn't it time for that title to be done away with?

Arise
A parish is thinking of implementing a new Bible study program; I assume it is the product of RENEW and not some Protestant program of the same name.

CWR Blog: Chemin Neuf and Taize among new Catholic movements present at WYD by Filip Mazurczak
New Catholic movements that flourished after Vatican II, especially in Europe, are helping to rejuvenate the Church, and many of them are present in Krakow.
Chemin Neuf may be Catholic but Taizé, though it may have Catholic members. What is their appeal? A pseudo-traditional feel? Emotional worship music? The sense of community and belonging?
