Description
Summary:The purpose of this article is to elucidate that the Zamość Provincial Council of 1720 was not an end-result of Rome’s manipulations or Jesuit machinations to strip the Uniate Church of its oriental character, in terms of doctrine, liturgy, law, and customs, and to replace it with Latin equivalents. Furthermore, this paper aims to illustrate that the adoption of various Latin liturgical and administrative practices was not imposed upon, but voluntarily adopted, by the Uniate Church, without sacrificing her rich and valuable Oriental heritage, in order to remove abuses, improve pastoral care, and unify the liturgy in the Catholic spirit.
