Is there a handy dandy list of the Orthodox equivalent of each of the Eastern Catholic Churches?
It seems to me that for each of the Eastern Catholic Churches (save the Maronites) there should be a 1 to 1 correspondence with an Orthodox Church.
Could someone perhaps make a list? Or is my understanding flawed?
Thanks

As far as I know there are no Non-Chalcedonian churches (those that rejected that Council), like the Copts and Armenians, that have come into union with the Orthodox while retaining their Rite and praxis; whereas there are a number of these churches that have come into union with the Catholic Church after accepting that Council's decrees and papal authority, albeit, sometimes under questionable circumstances. They do retain their own rites and praxis (often Latinized), as those of the Byzantine rite (Ukrainian, Melkite etc.).

There are, however, some Orthodox parishes here in the US and perhaps abroad that use their own "Western" rite; but there are no Latin rite Orthodox eparchies as far as I know.

Fr Roberson's book is still the best compilation I've found:

While the list is informative and thorough, it is noteworthy that all of the Orthodox churches, so called, use only the Byzantine Rite. Even the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria is basically Byzantine and does not follow Coptic usage; whereas the Catholic Coptic Church does.

The sister church to the Coptic Catholic Church is the Coptic Orthodox Church in the Oriental Orthodox Communion, not the Patriarchate of Alexandria in Communion with Constantinople
