If you see “Our Lady Of [Insert Name]” it is referring to Mary, whether it be a statue, apparition, or Church. Our Lady of Akita refers to the Marian apparitions reported in 1973 by Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa in the remote area of Yuzawadai, an outskirt of Akita, Japan (it is also associated with a wooden statue of Mary in Japan that is often venerated by the faithful there).

If the Catholics here are going to get upset about Orthosplaining, then let's perhaps pause to consider that the reverse might also be true.

Speaking of Orthosplaining...
I'm a little hazy on one aspect of this (among many).
So Patriarch Filaret was defrocked and pronounced anathema by Moscow. Bartholomew lifted that anathema - but does it still stand in the Russian Orthodox Church?

Isn’t there a basic rule that canonisation should, in most cases, take at least 100 years anyway?

I'm obviously an outsider, and most Catholics likely won't care too much about what I think - but I agree fully with both sentiments.
While I acknowledge Paul VI's attempts at dialogue with the Orthodox Church, until the Catholic Church can fully come to grips with the historical child sexual abuse scandal, canonising any Pope whose period in office began after c.1945 is a potential mistake that could backfire terribly.
If you do consider your Church to be an eternal institution - or at least a very long-lived one - then there's surely no rush. Canonisation can wait.

Basically, I started working on second shift at a factory, so I need to wake up at noon and go to sleep at 4 AM every day. And as a result, instead of going to morning Mass with my family at our parish, I decided to go to the evening Mass at another parish nearby.
It was a pretty normal Mass, but there were a few things that struck me as odd. Before the Mass started, the person who gets on the mic and welcomes eveyone to the parish invited everyone to go around and introduce themselves to each other when we're already settled in our pews. Later on in the Mass, after Communion to be precise, I noticed the extraordinary ministers purifying their cups and ceboriums. That makes me want to know if that's even allowed at all. Because, I remember being taught that only the clergy can purify, seeing as they're taking care of the leftover Blood. The other thing that made me nervous was that, at the end of Mass the preist was giving a blessing to the people who are celebrating their wedding anniversary, but it wasn't just the preist raising his hand to administer the blessings, it was the entire congregation. And that made it feel like I was in a Protestant church instead of a Catholic Church. Only other problem I had was the music. Mainly because the music sounded like hymns I'd hear at a youth group retreat. And they had a giant organ and somebody to play the organ, but they never even used it for any of the hymns...instead it was acoustic guitars, electric guitars and maracas being used as instruments. So that's my experience at Mass yesterday.
Homily was good though
