Catholic Liturgical Rites
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Catholic Church celebrates a number of different Liturgical Rites, a term that refers to a particular form of liturgy.[1]
They are not to be confused with the Rites in the sense of sui iuris particular Churches, of which there are 22 Eastern and one Western.
Specific liturgical rites and uses are usually described in terms of the various Western (Latin) and Eastern (Greek, Syrian, Coptic etc.) traditions.

- Pre-Tridentine Mass (the various pre-1570 ordinary forms)
- Ordo Missae of Pius V (1570-1970 ordinary form, 1970 until today extraordinary form)
- Novus Ordo Missae of Paul VI (1970 until today ordinary form)
- Anglican Use (in the United States, formerly Anglican congregations)
