I didn't say Byzantine Born. I said born-Byzantine Catholic. i.e. cradles. Hardly any cradle Byzantine Catholics go Orthodox. Most go Roman Catholic (through marriage or distance from Byzantine Rite parish) or stop practicing.

Please note that I do not subscribe to "Old Calendar Ecumenism" and believe that only the Synod of Archbishop Kallinikos is the canonical GOC of Greece. I do believe, however, that we can break down barriers and misunderstandings through prayer and discussion on forums such as this one.

What do you base that on? The vast majority of Byzantine Catholics in America are cradle. Almost all Byzantine Catholics in Ukraine and Slovakia (6 million) are cradle.

My impression (admittedly limited) of the Ukrainian Catholics in Canada is that their churches are thriving.

Lucian,
Ukrainian Byzantine Catholics are thriving due to immigration. Ruthenian Byzantine Catholics who generally call themselves just "Byzantine Catholics" are the ones dying out.
