"I think the Eastern Church serves a good purpose in reminding the Roman part that Catholicism really is a universal Church embracing more than just Roman Catholicism." He adds, "I always tell my Roman rite friends that they have to go to Divine Liturgy at least one time before they die so that when they get to heaven, they'll know what God is doing."

Very interesting article, thank you. It covers the situation from a variety of angles and doesn't take just one simplistic view. As the article points out, many Eastern rite parishes are just as modernized as the Roman Rite ones. The only time I ever attended an Eastern rite for a funeral, it was just as Novus Ordo-ized as the Western rites. But I understand that is not the case everywhere, and there seems to be a great deal of (mostly legitimate) diversity among the Eastern rites.
