Not really, there is only one Catholic Church to deny this is to deny reality

Christ, having been lifted up from the earth has drawn all men to Himself. Rising from the dead He sent His life-giving Spirit upon His disciples and through Him has established His Body which is the Church as the universal sacrament of salvation. Sitting at the right hand of the Father, He is continually active in the world that He might lead men to the Church and through it join them to Himself and that He might make them partakers of His glorious life by nourishing them with His own Body and Blood. [Vatican Council II, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen gentium

CATHOLIC RITES AND CHURCHES

[conservonator]

You're not implying that there are many Catholic "churches" in the same sense that there are many Protestant "churches" are you?

John 12:32 "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself Peter's church."

The Catholic Rites identified by your article is no different than different "rites" or beliefs found between the Protestant denominations. A Lutheran may hold different "rites" than a Baptist but we agree upon the same core beliefs. Just as the Catholics have "universal" rites so do Protestants such as communion.

Thus, Barrett’s World Christian Encyclopedia, to be consistent with definitions, is correct to assume Catholic “denominations”.
