Much is written about iconography, but very little about the differences between the two schools of the East and the West. I have always found it distressing that so often one sees in Latin Rite churches Easterern Icons rather than Western ones as if there where no differences. I suspect that there are some people who do not know the difference.
I do not propose to write here about it at length but only to raise the matter - it is not proper to Latinise the Eastern rites and it is equally improper to Easternise the Latin Rites. Surely it erodes their integrity?
