The form and arrangement of liturgies originally celebrated in Greek in Antioch and Alexandria. Those in use today at Antioch are the pure and modified Greek St. James, Syriac St. James, Maronite, Chaldean, Malabar, Byzantine, and Armenian Rites. At Alexandria the Coptic Liturgies of Sts. Cyril, Basil, and Gregory Nazianzus, and the Ethiopian Liturgy are used.

Catholic Word of the Day Ping!
Please send me a FReepmail if you would like to be on the Catholic Word of the Day Ping List.
I’m honestly not trying to start a quarrel, but as an aspiring Catholic I’d like to know if these other rites are considered equally valid by the Roman church.
NYer can explain more, as she attends a Maronite Rite Mass.
There is a Ukranian Rite Catholic parish in a town which is next door to my home town. This is right, as long as the rite is in union with the Pope.
There are twenty-something small Rites that are in union with Rome and acknowledge the supremacy of the Pope. And of course with the new Anglican Constitution there are going to be twenty-something PLUS ONE. . . . which makes this former Episcopalian VERY happy!
I believe about 24 or 25 rites, if you count in the revised Old Latin Right that B16 had allowed to flourish again mid last year.

I wonder if the Ambrosian Rite of Milan is counted as one of them -- and if the Sarum Rite will be reinstituted as part of the Anglican Constitution.
Wow! That’s marvelous! The eison makes it sound very Byzantine which I suspect is an indication of its antiquity.
