Slava Isusu Christu!
I recently found a website while searching for more Old Ritualist sites and articles, so I can more accurately "larp" as an Old Believer. OldRite.com [oldrite.com] There is no contact page, there is very little information about themselves. They are in America. They say about 3 Serbian Bishops, if these were Catholics, then wouldn't there be A L O T of talk about this is Orthodox and Catholic circles.

Old Rite Eparchy of Southern United States
This website actually seems like a joke at this point. At first it seems like this "Church" is just a few fellow Old Believer Larpers, considering they consider themselves to be of the same union as Blessed Leonid.

LARPers are probably what they are, then. I would imagine most Catholics who use the Old rite would be under already existing eparchies (as some are in communion with the Pope of Rome).
Now, there are parishes that describe themselves as "Russian Orthodox in communion with Rome", but they don't have different eparchial jurisdiction from other Eastern Catholic churches , so far as I know. Actually, other than this site, I can't find any information about what they call themselves.

The "Rome" part in their name does not mean the Roman Catholic Church. They are apparently part of a larger group: https://holy-see.org/en/jurisdictions/

Whoever they are, they have a fascinating list of Saints - including the Sheptytsky brothers!

Venerable Andrew Sheptytsky was very interested in the Old Rite and kept an Old Rite chapel near his residence. Blessed Leonid Fyodorov was appointed by him to minister to Old Rite Uniates in the Russian empire and he even received a hand-written letter from Tsar St Nicholas II thanking him and his community for their prayers for his son . . .

The few Old Rite Uniates there are have always venerated Andrew Sheptytsky as well as their own Old Rite Uniate hieromartyr (whose name escapes me) who took his entire parish and placed themselves under the omophorio of Blessed Andrew.

How did Venerable Andrew Sheptytsky support the Old Rite Uniates, and what was his connection with Tsar Nicholas II and Blessed Leonid Fyodorov?
