  ambrosians   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Ambrosians was the name given to several religious brotherhoods which at various times since the 14th century have sprung up in and around Milan; they have about as much connection with Saint Ambrose as the "Jeromites" who were found chiefly in upper Italy and Spain have with their patron saint.
The name Ambrosians is also given to a 16th century Anabaptist sect, which laid claim to immediate communication with God through the Holy Ghost.
The doctrine of the Ambrosians, who belonged probably to that section of the Anabaptists known as Pneumatici, may be compared with the "Inner Light" doctrine of the Quakers.

The district in which the Ambrosian Rite is used is nominally the old archiepiscopal province of Milan before the changes of 1515 and 1819, but in actual fact it is not exclusively used even in the city of Milan itself.
Neale considered that the Ambrosian Rite was a Romanized form of this Hispano-Gallican, or Ephesine, Rite, He never brought much evidence for this view, being generally contented with stating it and giving a certain number of not very convincing comparisons with the Mozarabic Rite (Essays on Liturgiology, ed.
There are evident Gallicanisms in the Ambrosian Rite, but so there are in the present Roman, and the main outlines of the process by which they arrived in the latter are sufficiently certain, though the dates are not.

But not quite, for "Ambrosian" suggested a taste of divine nectar, and very soon a new movement was on its way.
Fleet grasped the essential fact that singers of earlier times had to cultivate two different types of voice: a powerful one for use in church, and a quieter, more flexible sound for vocal chamber music where light ornamentation was the order of the day.

 CIN - Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church - 2
The Mozarabic rite exists almost exclusively in Spain and uses Arabic as its liturgical language, and the Italo-Greek uses the Liturgies of the Byzantine Rite, but celebrates them in Latin or Italian, according to the time-honored custom of the Eastern Church's tendency to use the vernacular wherever possible.
It is painful to see how unaware even religious instructors are (not to mention the hierarchy itself) Catholics are of their Eastern Rite Churches....for yours they are, as a brother or a sister is yours.
Roman Rite Catholics (sorry, folks...the truth IS the truth...) tend to equate themselves AND NO OTHERS with "The Catholic Church"...and that attitude extends (probably with a greater damage than at the lay level) well into the ranks of the Catholic Hierarchy, particularly of the American Catholic hierarchy.
