The Eastern rites think the Roman rite is strange that we destroyed our own tradition. In the history of all the rites, it's unprecedented.

And it is strange. Reminiscent of the Reformation, if you will, when it was thought everything had to be rewritten and parts tossed out. And the rewritten rites aren't called something new, or broken away from the older rites, but replace the old in the name of the old. Strange few outside the Eastern rites think it's odd, and those who voice that opinion are scoffed at and ridiculed.

There is a committee at work in the Vatican to "revise" the Eastern liturgies. (Sorry, I couldn't find the news item. It was maybe two years ago.)
