I’m looking for some information on the REVISED Ambrosian rite (according to some comments I’ve read it was revised along the lines of the missal of 1970) and if possible, how it compares with the older rite, so if anyone can point me in the direction of sources or provide any information, I would be really grateful. 🙂
 
::sigh:: Try “Milanese Rite” because it is the Rite of the Archdiocese of Milan (not just the city). It was the rite of Pope Paul VI, as I recall. I think it involves a litany chanted by a deacon, special symbolic gestures, the Creed AFTER the Offertory, and a couple differences.

Now, the rite itself has a different calendar.

I have NO IDEA WHY, but as a youngster, our parish had the Ambrosian Rite Mass ONE TIME (to be nice to a visiting priest, or because Monsignor got it in his head it would be a good idea, who knows). We were told to be there (it was the 60s- we were there), and to follow along as best we could. The new altar facing the people was down and the old altar was used, a shock. Portions of the Mass were out of place. There was an extra reading besides the Epsitle and the Gospel. A really huge procession was made with the bread and wine at the Offertory, which wasn’t exactly an everyday event at the time. And there were a herd of priests!!!

Can’t help you more than that. You can Google, too.
