Go figure."

I'm Byzantine Catholic. Where do I, or any other person from one of the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church, fit into your "daisy chain"?

Just asking.

“I’m Byzantine Catholic. Where do I, or any other person from one of the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church, fit into your “daisy chain”?

Sorry you interpreted it that way. I should have made myself more clear. I was ranking the terms that Dr. Eckleburg mentioned in her post. I was saying that using the term “Catholic” is better than “Roman Catholic,” and one reason for that is that “Roman Catholic” doesn’t include Eastern Catholics such as yourself. Just for the record, I agree that every rite in the Catholic Church is equal.

By the way, I recently read that, technically speaking, it is only correct to refer to Catholics in the Diocese of Rome as Roman Catholics. For example, I would actually be a Pittsburgh Catholic, not a Roman Catholic, although I am from the Latin Rite. Do you or Mark know what I am talking about or if I am correct?
