Christ is Risen! Wow. That has had a cooling effect on list activity. So, how many Eastern Rite groups do we have claiming sole proprietorship of the title...

Christ is Risen! Thank you for the clarification. Milan was an ancient Primatial See with its own service books, so I was hopeful that you group would renew...
I do not understand what you mean by the question of "minority uses". Our First-Hierarch, Eulogius, was originally a priest in the MP using the Ambrosian rite...
Christ is Risen! Perhaps I misunderstood from statements like "ambrosian rite is used occasionally" and the switchover of Abp Hilarion's community to Byzantine...
