∙ 10y agoThe Introductory Rite begins with the Priest's entrance, he reverences the altar and begins with the Introit, a Psalm, or a Hymn, then he says, "In the name of the Father...

Are all the denominations of Catholic Churches under the Pope?
There are no "denominations" of the Catholic Church. One is either a Catholic or not. A Catholic is under the authority of the pope as the pope is the head of the church. There are other sects of the religion which are closely aligned theologically, but they are not Catholic and they are connoted as "Orthodox", such as the Russian Orthodox or the Greek Orthodox. Catholic Answer As the above answer points out, there are no denominations in the Catholic Church. However, there are historically different "rites" which are also know as Churches, although they are all Catholic Churches. Most of these Rites, particularly in the East, split in the eleventh century, so there is a Greek Orthodox Church and a Greek Uniate Church. The Greek Uniate Church is a "rite" in the Catholic Church under the Pope. A protestant might think these were denominations, as they appear very different, but they are not, and are all under the Pope.
How is the Church divided into several churches?
The Catholic Church is not divided into several churches. All are united under one Church led by the Vicar of Christ on Earth - the pope. Within the Church there are several rites, such as the Latin or Roman Rite, the Maronites, the Ukrainian Catholic Church, etc., but all are Catholic. The only differences are in the language used as well as some variations of the liturgy.
What are the Egyptian Coptic Church's relations with Roman Catholic Church?
Yes. The Coptic Catholic Church broke away with the Coptic Orthodox Church to come into full communion with the Catholic Church. This occurred around 1741 under the direction of a Coptic bishop named Amba Athanasius. Athanasius converted to Catholicism with about 2,000 Coptics. Although Althanasius converted back to the Coptic Orthodox Church, most of the people remained and grew into what is now the Coptic Catholic Church. It's important to note that the Coptic Catholic Church is not an independent Church, but a rite under the Catholic Church. The differences between rites are purely cultural, NOT doctrinal. So even though different rites in the Catholic Church may celebrate mass a little differently, they all believe in the same teachings of the Catholic Church and remain loyal to the Pope.
