To be clear, this thread was about Eastern Catholic, not Eastern Orthodox. 
Byzcat, to most people Eastern Catholics are just Latin Catholics with funny vestments. To try to explain legitimate differences in law and theology usually ends with them calling the eastern catholic either a heretic or orthodox so this is the usual progression

Orthodox have fallen into some errors as a result of their long separation from Rome, the Mother Church ...
Why are you talking about the Orthodox? Your post doesn't seem to make any sense in this thread.

my original answer stands, you can not invent your own canon law my rite takes precedence over another rite for my attendance is the rule
Can you re-post your answer in a clearer fashion?  Your posts are not clear, and I'm not sure whether it's a language thing.

Where does the Catholic Church before Vatican II state that Catholics (Western OR Eastern) can attend schismatic Orthodox liturgies or sacraments outside of the danger of death?

Per the Catholic Encyclopedia on the Eastern Churches:

Each Catholic body has been formed from one of the schismatical ones; their organizations are comparatively late, dating in most cases from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Moreover, although all these Eastern-Rite Catholics of course agrees in the same Catholic Faith we profess, they are not organized as one body. Each branch keeps the rites (with in some cases modifications made at Rome for dogmatic reasons) of the corresponding schismatical body, and has an organization modelled on the same plan. In faith a Catholic Armenian, for instance, is joined to Catholic Chaldees and Copts, and has no more to do with the schismatical Armenians than with Nestorians or Abyssinians. Nor does he forget this fact.

This comment leads me to believe that you are now going on the offensive because you do not have the proof for what you are suggesting in this thread.  No one here is calling Eastern Catholics schismatic.
 
So again, provide proof that the Catholic Church (Eastern or otherwise) allowed Catholics to attend schismatic sacraments/liturgies for reasons other than in danger of death.

Yes, it was....until Confederate Catholic posted that an Eastern Catholic can/should attend an Orthodox schismatic liturgy over a Latin Catholic one.
