→Why the emphasis on the Observations?
I don’t understand why anyone is concerned to argue that “all” of the changes required by the ''Observations'' were made by the Antiochians to their Western rite liturgies – even if such a claim were true.

They have no official standing for any Church other than the Russian, and it is doubtful that Russian bishops today would feel bound by a 1904 commission report about a BCP that has not been used for almost 100 years. --[[User:Fr Lev|Fr Lev]] 02:03, August 6, 2008 (UTC)
