stop lending Ruthenian law to churches it was never written for
Three Eastern Catholic jurisdictions borrowed the Ruthenian ruleset, so a Melkite, a Romanian Greek Catholic and a Ukrainian Greek Catholic were each told that fourteen days a year bound them under the particular law of the Metropolia of Pittsburgh. That is the exact error the level/obligation split exists to prevent, committed by the library itself. Every Eastern Catholic church legislates its own fasting discipline. Those three are now shown at the Typikon with nothing reported as binding, which is the honest position: the calendar is known, the law is not. Their entries say so and a test holds it, asserting both that no jurisdiction but ruthenian carries that ruleset and that the three claim no binding days. The README gains a section on these churches, since supporting them was never meant to be something a reader had to infer from the jurisdiction list.
