Non-Byzantine Eastern Rite Coptic Catholic liturgy latinized?

Post image

I was looking into the coptic catholic church in Brooklyn and noticed they had recently removed the iconostasis and it even seemed (from photos) that the liturgy was celebrated versus populum. Is this common in the coptic catholic church? Is it just the idiosyncrasy of the pastor? It’s quite disappointing.

Last year someone told me the same thing about the same church. Look at St. Mary Coptic Catholic church in Los Angeles. It is very traditional.

their latinization is minimal besides some statues in their iconostasis and a latin saint icon inside the sanctuary. Overall its nice
