Wikified and moved text

The text that was here has been wikified and moved to the main page. No doubt many improvements can still be made but it is good in IMHO to be moved. It probably needs splitting into a couple or 3 articles--NHSavage 23:17, 7 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rite or rites

AS I know there was no unified Gallican rite but there were many local variations (Uses) of this rite/ So we can talk about Gallican rites.--greutungen —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.86.230.114 (talk) 09:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Rite of Lyons is not Gallican, but Roman, even if some elements such as the variable benediction before Communion is Gallican in origin. In fact, the Lyonese Rite is closer to the original hybrid version of the Roman Mass that Alcuin created when he edited the Roman sacramentary sent to Charlesmagne from Rome and subsequently imposed as the 'Roman mass' on his 'Roman' empire than the more Gallicanized hybrid mass usages that later under the Saxon emperors even influenced the way the Roman liturgy came to be celebrated in Rome itself. Any eucharistic liturgy in which the eucharistic prayer is the Roman Canon is, by definition, a Roman liturgy, not Gallican.

Orthodox Gallican rite

I have a link to the text of the Gallican rite that the Orthodox Church of France produced under the guidance of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia. Does anyone mind if I add it to the list of external links? Deusveritasest (talk) 08:56, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
