further clarification
The [[Orthodox Church of France]] was once cared for by St. [[John Maximovitch]] and later by the [[Church of Romania]]—also uses a Western Rite liturgy based on ancient Gallican liturgical materials, with some Byzantine supplements. The Orthodox Church of France currently functions as an independent body, and is not recognized by or in communion with the [[List of autocephalous and autonomous churches|mainstream Orthodox Church]].
In addition, the [[Holy Synod of Milan]], an [[Old Calendarist]] group outside of communion with the [[List of autocephalous and autonomous churches|mainstream Orthodox Church]], has a number of communities (under the central direction of the monastery and Archdiocesan center, the [[The Abbey of the Holy Name (West Milford, New Jersey)|Abbey of the Holy Name]]) which worship according to Western rites, including a restored pre-schism [[Sarum Use]] (which differed slightly from the single version of the [[Sarum Rite]] used within ROCOR before 2008; currently there are three different versions of the Sarum Rite in use in ROCOR.).
In 2008, a former hieromonk of the Milan Synod, Father [[Aidan (Keller)]], was blessed by Metropolitan [[Hilarion (Kapral) of New York|Hilarion]], [[ROCOR]] First Hierarch, to use his own translations of the pre-schism [[Sarum Use]], found in the ''Old Sarum Rite Missal'' as previously blessed and used by the Western Archdiocese of the Milan Synod. Additionally, the uses of the Eastern Archdiocese of the [[Holy Synod of Milan]] appear to have been blessed by Metropolitan [[Hilarion (Kapral) of New York|Hilarion of New York]] for use in ROCOR from October 2008.
