The Ambrosian rite differs in some ways, many from the conventional rites and practices of Roman Catholicism. It is contained within Western Europe, in fact, mainly in Italy. St. Ambrose, for whom the rite is named was Bishop of Milan. I don"t know much about the rite but it is within the overall structure of Roman Catholicism but has some distinctive rites and practices. The Church calendar is somewhat different. Advent, for example, is six weeks rather than four as in normal Roman practice ( therefore, St. Nicholas, the prototype of, we all know who- falls inside advent. He is just outside advent in Roman church practices. I know because my parents were married on Dec.6. There are other differences in church costumes ( the Red vestment is used quite often, the the RC church it is reserved for celebrating martyred saints") Red indicating Blood. It is unusual as it is a variant on Roman catholicism right inside the borders of Italy!- and in a major industrial and commercial center as Milano. Imagine, if you will, the Detroit Rite. ( In my father's garage, there are many stalls!) sorry about the joke.

What English version of thee bible do Cathloics use?

.Catholic AnswerAs with any country, the official Bible for Catholics is the Latin Vulgate. For uses in English, Catholics in England have approved the Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition, and the Jerusalem Bible for use in the Liturgy, and the Grail translation of the psalms. Individual Catholics may use any approved translation, it would have a Nihil Obstat, and an Imprimatur (and prehaps an Imprimi Potest) on the back of the Title Page.

What does blessed be the name of the lord mean?

This is a translation of a congregational response from the Hebrew liturgy used in the time of the Temple in Jerusalem. When the High Priest pronounced the Tetragrammaton, the 4-letter name of God, those who heard the name would respond “Baruch Shem kevod malchuto le’olam va’ed,” meaning something like "blessed be the holy Name, who's glorious kingdom is forever and ever." To this day, in the Jewish liturgy, it is said after the Shema ("Hear oh Israel, the Lord your God the Lord is One.") In Eastern Orthodoxy, this has become a final congregational response, expanded into a hymn, at the end of the liturgy. Given the difficulty of translation, this is also attributed to Psalm 113:2 -- the Hebrew there is significantly different, but when rendered into English (or Latin, or High Church Slavonic) it can be the same: "Yehe Shem Adonai m'varech, meata v'ad olam," meaning literally "May the Name of the Lord be blessed, from now to forever" (my translation). Psalm 113 is the first of the Hallel psalms, recited in the Jewish liturgy on pilgrimage festivals and new moons).


What language is orthodox mass spoken in?

Orthodox Christians do not refer to it as mass, but the Divine Liturgy. What language it is performed in depends on the church's ethnicity, though most Orthodox churches in America do it mostly in English. If it is a Greek church, then it is partially in Greek; if Russian, then in Russian; etc. But, like I said, the majority is done in English. In Antiochian Orthodox Churches, the entire liturgy is in English.
