No. What I mean is a situation in which an Eastern Catholic might say that, for example. I was providing a hypothetical complement to a Westerner saying, “I’m going to attend a parish that uses an Eastern Rite.” Which itself would also logically imply that one would be attending a parish of an Eastern Church.
Technically, Russian Greek Catholic parishes are part of the Roman Church as well as part of the RGCC - they are part of the local Roman dioceses, under the local Roman hierarch, and the priests are incardinated into the local diocese. The parishioners are part of the Russian Greek Catholic Church, but are also parishioners of the local Roman diocese.
As they say “It’s a free country”…
That is good information that I did not know. However, there is no Roman Church, only a Roman Rite; the Western Church is called Latin. More terminological difficulties…
Yeah, people always seem to be confusing *church *and rite.
It’s the other way around. The Roman Church uses the Latin Rite, Ambrosian Rite, Dominican Rite and others. The Latin Rite has ordinary and extraordinary forms and an Anglican use among it’s liturgies.
Well … uh … actually, I think YoungTradCath is basically correct. The Latin Church includes the Roman Rite, Ambrosian Rite, etc. See here under Western Rites and Churches for example.
You beat me to it; I was just going to make that correction.
