“The Catholic Church holds in high esteem the institutions, liturgical rites, ecclesiastical traditions and the established standards of the Christian life of the Eastern Churches, for in them, distinguished as they are for their venerable antiquity, there remains conspicuous the tradition that has been handed down from the Apostles through the Fathers and that forms part of the divinely revealed and undivided heritage of the universal Church. This Sacred Ecumenical Council, therefore, in its care for the Eastern Churches which bear living witness to this tradition, in order that they may flourish and with new apostolic vigor execute the task entrusted to them, has determined to lay down a number of principles, in addition to those which refer to the universal Church; all else is remitted to the care of the Eastern synods and of the Holy See.” (POPE PAUL VI, NOVEMBER 21, 1964)

I’m eagerly looking forward to learning more about the Catholic Churches of the Eastern Rite,

This should be informative for Latin Catholics who know little about their Eastern brothers and sisters.

I wonder it its possible to get back some of the factual stickies of Irish Melkite and others that used to be at the top of the thread?

Peace.

Fiel, there is no such thing as “the Eastern rite”.

There are Eastern RiteS, in some 5 families, each with its own liturgical and spiritual tradition.

I was simply quoting an official Vatican document (DECREE ON THE CATHOLIC CHURCHES OF THE EASTERN RITE ORIENTALIUM ECCLESIARUM SOLEMNLY PROMULGATED BY HIS HOLINESS POPE PAUL VI ON NOVEMBER 21, 1964)
 
Then why did he promulgate the Novus Ordo?

Paul VI is a paradox.
 
What happened to the Catholic - Orthodox joint Declaration of 1965?

You can use “rite” in a more generic sense, as well. One can refer to “the Christian rite”, for example, if drawing a contrast with a Judaic or Islamic liturgical practice. It’s a rather formal usage, I will admit, but this is the Pope speaking.

I encourage you to learn about the Chaldean Divine Liturgy. My Bishop, Mar Jammo, gave a brilliant lecture on this recently.
