This article says "Byzantine-right Romanian Catholics"...sounds separate from the Roman Catholic Church? I've never heard of them before.

Romanian Catholic Church of the Byzantine Rite (Greek Catholic) is an Eastern Rite Catholic Church in full communion with Rome. It is not a Latin Rite (Roman Catholic) Church. There are 6 rites and 22 autonomous Churches or Churches sui juris within the Catholic Church. Each autonomous Church comes under any of the 6 rites. Except Roman Church (Latin)which is the Western Church, all other 21 Churches belong to Eastern rites.

The Byzantine Catholic Rite is in communion with the Roman Catholic Rite, but they are not one and the same.

Not too confusing, just two kindsof Presbyterians in actuality. Christians and non Christians.
