Actually, the reverse trend prevailed for hundreds of years. To cite one example, from San Diego News Notes:
"The Maronite liturgy originally incorporated the Church's earliest liturgical forms, which is reflected in the fact that the Maronite Service of the Holy Mysteries contains the Church's oldest Eucharistic Prayer. Rome sent apostolic visitors to Lebanon between the 15th and 17th centuries to scrutinize Maronite liturgical texts, "in the period where they started to Latinize everything," Father Mouannes explained. They ordered the Maronites to purge elements from their liturgy deemed heretical, and the Maronites complied, even when obliged to burn liturgical books. However, in doing so, some of the Church's primordial liturgical practices were lost. "That's why, now, in our Mass, we have a lot of similarities with the Latin [Roman rite] Church," he pointed out. "We were Latinized more than the other ones [Eastern rite Churches], because we searched for it. We wanted to show that now we are one with Rome, one hundred percent; we are with the rock."
It was Vatican II that reversed this 'latinization' trend, recommending that the Eastern churches restore those elements that had been stripped out of their liturgy. Essentially, it has taken more than 400 years to arrive at this point!
Yes, but that is not a reason to "punish" the Traditional Latin Mass. It should be accorded the same respect as the ancient Eastern liturgies.
Back in the 80's, when we lived in McCarrick's Metuchen there was a Maronite Church about 10 minutes away from us. I don't know why, but it never occurred to us to go there. Looking back I'm not sure I realized they were united with Rome.
We actually moved our family back to Philadelphia to get away from the abuses that were going on in Metuchen.
