Maybe when Martin Luther was around this law would make sense but protestants just because their not catholic shouldn't be automatically bond to the Latin rite. Some protestant churches come from people who just pick up a bible and get converted, who have no working knowledge of the divisions that are in Christian history. In an instance like this one the term protestant has no historical relevance and should not bind such people to the Latin rite, especially if some resources from the East are discovered and become part of their spiritual development. One group with similar roots that comes to mind are the Evangelical orthodox, who eventually converted to the Orthodox church. This group of Christians many from various non-Catholic traditions found themselves attracted to the East and were in their lives finding themselves being so enriched that they felt the need to go deeper by being incorporated into the Orthodox church. It would make no sense for such people to go to the Latin church who have developed spiritually from the East if perchance they wanted to become a Byzantine catholic. I know people in our Byzantine Catholic church with non-Catholic roots who our pastors recognized their calling to Eastern spirituality and felt that this law is a little arrogant.<br />More on that church i spoke about-http://orthodoxwiki.org/Evangelical_Orthodox_ChurchRic Ballardhttp://easterncatholicspiritualrenewal.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
