The "Western rite" is actually known as the Latin Rite. The Latin Rite is the part of the Roman Catholic Church that is not Chaldean, Assyrian, Abyssinian, Copt, Syriac, Armenian, or Malankaran. All of these "Eastern Rites" are in full communion the Pope, but they have their own Patriarchs as well.
