Does anyone know of any Eastern Catholic Churches, or even individual dioceses or parishes, that use the Revised Julian Calendar? Thanks!

The Romanian Catholic Eparchy does (not exclusively). HRM is on it.

Given a response 08/04 in the "Old Calendar Catholics?" thread I would say that Our Lady of Fatima [byzantinecatholic.org] in San Francisco uses it.

Off topic: Am I right in understanding that this Pascha, 2010, will fall on the same day for everyone?

Yes; in 2010 (and 2011) Pascha and Easter will coincide.

It's just a small point, and don't think me quirky, but does anyone stop to think that the real "Revised Julian Calendar" is the Gregorian Calendar.

They are very, very close, but not the same.

Also, calendar can mean just the calendar but it can also mean the method for determining Pascha, i.e. calendar is short for the calendar/paschalion.

Each calendar has its own stability and reference points, and a paschalion compatible with the calendar. Problems and clashes occur when a calendar is combined with a paschalion that is not suited to it.

The Revised Julian Calendar of the Catholics is the Gregorian Calendar.

The Revised Julian Calendar of the Orthodox is the 1924 Milankovic-Trpkopvic Calendar adopted by some Orthodox Churches.

The Catholic Gregorian and the Orthodox Revised Julian are identical until 2800 when they will start to diverge by 1 day.

I see I missed your point and it's an interesting one.

My remarks pertained to the Orthodox Revised, or is it the Newly Revised, Julian calendar.
