[Hector Medina]

Hi,

I don't know much about the Catholic rights.

I'd like to find out mine.

I am a member of :

St. Thomas Moore
Catholic Church
in San Antonio,Texas US

Does that help any ???


God Bless,

Hector

If you are Roman Catholic then you are "Latin" rite. This is the western Church. It does not matter if you attend a Church of another rite as long as they are in union with the Pope. There are many rites in the Church both in union with the bishop of Rome (Pope) and in the Orthodox (not in union with the bishop of Rome).

I am afraid that I can not help you with naming them all, maybe someone else knows them and can post them for you.

It sounds like I am Latin rite........


In Christ,

Yes, you are a member of the Latin Rite. You are allowed though, to participate in any Rite of the Catholic Church without reservation. I would whole heartedly recommend that you take a chance sometime to attend the Divine Liturgy of one of our Eastern Rite brethren. The first time I did, it gave me such a new, profound respect for the Eucharist, I was glad I worshipped with them (and now I go back as often as I can).
