DISCLAIMER & ADVICE
In addition to the advice given in the link above, I want to warn Catholics, that I am personally aware of some modernist infection in the Ruthenian rite, at least here in the United States, and if anyone reads the posts of Wenceslav, it appears to be a serious problem in Canada. I am not certain about the state of things in their homeland, which is found in the Carpathian mountains in Ukraine, and the surrounding countries. I will state though, that that I do not have far reaching information about them, so there may be some priests among them that are very good and have the Faith. I just don't know, so as always, use due diligence and be careful, investigate the parish and the priest and find out for yourself.
I post these directories as I have done with the others, so that Catholics may be aware of where these parishes are, and if they live near one, may assess the situation for themselves. There are a lot of Ruthenian rite parishes and priests in the U.S., so there may very well be good priests left in this rite, that have kept the Faith.
It's worth noting that the Ruthenians refer to themselves as "Byzantine," which is fine, but be aware, that they are only one Byzantine rite among many others, and the others are not part of them or in any way under their jurisdiction. If anyone wants to see how the Ruthenians fit under the Byzantine umbrella this chart shows them along with all other Byzantine and other eastern Catholic rites: tradcath.proboards.com/thread/240/24-rites-catholic-church-liturgies
