Every Catholic has a right to the sacraments (cf. Code of Canon Law, canon 843), but he does not have a right to them according to the rite of his choice.

The Roman Rite is not some "rite of choice." It is the pre-eminent and normative rite in the Latin Church. It is the oldest rite and most directly descended from the apostles. It is the Rite which was guaranteed to all Roman Catholics for all futurity of time.
