As a reference I thought it would be nice to list the different liturgical rites present in the Catholic Church today. There is a good outline available on EWTN. Since my interest has been peaked somewhat I may try to look at each of these rites in it's own post, probably on my other blog though.

Very interesting, things I have wondered but have never seen organized in one place so simply. Thanks.
Chris, this is fascinating. I've always been a bit confused by the various rites. So they represent different liturgical forms but are all in doctrinal unity, right? (I ask because some outside the church might view this as different "denominations" within Catholicism.)
Sounds like a very good idea, Chris. Go for it!
The rites display doctrinal unity. The Roman pontiff asserts his authority over the Eastern Catholic Churches through the Congregation for the Eastern Churches.
The Eastern Churches follow the Code of Canon Law for the Oriental Churches which is distinct from the Code of Canon Law used by the Latin rite churches.
One of the more noticeable differences between the Western and Eastern churches is the ordination of married men to the priesthood in the Eastern tradition. However, marriage must occur before ordination and bishops are selected from the celibate.
Generally speaking, there are also some translational differences in the Nicene Creed recited in the Eastern Churches but the doctrinal statement is not compromised.
Thanks for the list!
This is great. Now I challenge you to make each a hyperlink!
Interesting to see the whole list...i link to you..perhaps you might add my blog?
God bless
@ irenaeus,
hyperlinks are difficult as I've found little information about some of these rites so far. However, I am planning to write as much as I can about each rite on my other blog. I'll let you know when I start posting on that.
@ mrs jackie parkes mj
Your blog is actually linked here. It is in the "friends of Catholic Converts" list in the sidebar. It's gotten sorta buried though so I'm going to move the list right under the CC blogroll.
Thankss great blog post
