Latinisation of liturgy

Latinisation of liturgy

Latinisation ofliturgy refers to the process by which non-Latin Christian traditions, particularly those of Eastern Churches, adopted elements of the Latin Church's liturgical practices, theology, and customs. This phenomenon was often driven by ecclesiastical or political pressures and has left a lasting impact on global Christianity, sparking both unity and controversy. While it facilitated closer ties with the Catholic Church, it also led to the suppression of local liturgical traditions and significant debates over ecclesial identity.
