Which rite do the Maronites belong to?
Antiochene The Maronite Church has a Church rite in itself. It is considered a Syro-Antiochene church, which means it derives its influence from both the Syriac school (i.e. writers such as Ephrem the Syrian and Jacob of Serug) as well as influenced by the history of Antioch (i.e. it's patriarchate's legitimacy is derived from Peter's episcopacy of Antioch). Although the Maronite Church, in theory, is a Syriac church, in recent times it has retained numerous latinizations from the Roman Church as a means of demonstrating it's commitment to unity.
Are there varieties of Catholics?
.Catholic AnswerThat depends on what you mean by varieties. In the Catholic Church there are a number of Rites. The four parent rites in Catholicism are the Antiochene, Alexandrine, Latin (Roman), and Gallican. Some Religious Orders have their own Rites. The Latin Rite is the most well-known in the West, the Antiochene Rite uses the Liturgy of St. James from Jerusalem, which was Greek, and then was translated into Syriac. The Greek version is used twice a year by the Orthodox (who are NOT a Rite of the Church, but are in schism); the Syriac version by the Jacovites in Syria and Palestine, and by the Syrian Catholics. The Maronites use a Romanized form of this litugy. Most of the current Eastern Rites use some form of the Liturgy of St. James. The Gallican Rite was popular in Gaul in the 4th to 8th centuries, it survives in pieces in some liturgies in Milan and Toledo. When Trent mandated the "Tridentine" form of the Mass for the Latin Church, it only allowed rites older than 200 years (at that time) to survive - all others were superceded by the Tridentine Liturgy. The Carthusian Rite from the 11th century is an example of a Religious Order with its own Rite. - extracted from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc.

How many types of Catholics are there in church?
The four parent Rites in the Church the Antiochene, Alexandrine, Roman, and Gallican. Some religious orders have their own rites..from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941203 The liturgical traditions or rites presently in use in the Church are the Latin (principally the Roman rite, but also the rites of certain local churches, such as the Ambrosian rite, or those of certain religious orders) and the Byzantine, Alexandrian, or Coptic, Syriac, Armenian, Maronite, and Chaldean rites. In "faithful obedience to tradition, the sacred Council declares that Holy Mother Church holds all lawfully recognized rites to be of equal right and dignity, and that she wishes to preserve them in the future and to foster them in every way." (Sacrosanctum concilium 4)
What was Nestorius a heretical teacher?
Nestorius was a monk from Antioch when, in 428, Emperor Theodosius II appointed him to be Patriarch of Constantinople, arguably the most powerful position in the Christian Church. He was not a great theologian but someone pedantically anxious to put across the Antiochene line in Christology which stressed the full reality of Jesus's humanity. Hence he objected to the title Theotokos, "Mother of God", as applied to Mary, because it seemed to imply that she was Christ's mother according to his godhead, not his manhood. While some could only allow her to be called Anthropotokos, "mother of the man", Nestorius insisted that the right word must be Christotokos, "mother of Christ".The followers of Nestorius, the Nestorians, were excluded by the Orthodox Church in 431. On such flimsy and apparently inconsequential grounds are 'heresy' and schism built.
How many traditions make up the universal Catholic Church?
Anglo Catholic AnswerThe Eastern Orthodox Churches, the Anglican churches, the Roman Catholic Church (and those Eastern Churches in union with the Roman Church) as well as some other smaller groups of Catholics such as Old Catholics from the See of Utrecht. I have named the main traditions.Members of protestant churches who are baptized correctly in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are also members of the Catholic Church in an extended sense: although they're faith communities are not valid Catholic traditions, their baptism makes them regenerate in Christ Jesus and hence members of the Catholic Church even if their traditions are not Catholic.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church is comprised of "Rites", there are four historic rites, known as parent rites: Antiochene, Alexandrine, Roman, and Gallican; in all there are nine recognized rites, each having its own right and proper way of doings things: Latin, Byzantine, Armenian, Chaldean, Coptic, Ethiopic, Malabar, Maronite, and Syrian rites. All of these, except Maronite, are used by numbers of Christians who are no longer Catholics (they do not acknowledge the Holy Father as Christ's Vicar on earth): these would include those protestant churches mentioned above in the "Anglo" Catholic Answer, the Orthodox, and other separated rites such as Old Catholics, Polish National Catholics, and I'm not sure of the present state of the Society of Saint Pius X.

What do the Roman Catholics do if the Pope of the Roman Catholic dies?
Roman Catholic AnswerWhen the Pope dies, there is an official period of mourning. All the Cardinals from all over the world gather to perform their primary function - to elect a new Pope. There is one Cardinal who is in charge of the Church during he interregnum known as the Sede Vacant (the period when an episcopal see is vacant usually applied to the See of Rome), although he can make no lasting official decisions. They meet in the Sistine Chapel and vote, the new Pope must receive two thirds plus one, I believe. Most Catholic pray fervently during this period, not only for the repose of the old Pope, but for the Holy Spirit's guidance of the Cardinals in the selection of a new Pope, and for his guidance by the Holy Spirit when he accepts the mantle of Peter.
What does God from God Light from Light true God from true God mean?
"God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God" is a formulation of the Nicene Creed of 325 which is intended to refute the heresy of Arianism-- the proposition that Jesus Christ was not true God from all eternity, but instead was created. Indeed, Jesus Christ is of one substance (homousios) with God the Father, such that he is completely God as God the Father is, he is completely Light as God the Father is Light, he is True God as God the Father is. In the articles of faith regarding Jesus Christ, the Nicene Creed skillfully refutes excesses in both the Alexandrian and the Antiochene Christological schools which stress the divinity of Christ on one hand, and the humanity of Christ on the other. The resulting tension in the orthodox understanding of the relationship between the divinity and humanity of Christ is described as the 'hypostatic union'. In the councils between the first and fifth centuries, these doctrines were defined and are held by all orthodox Christians today (Catholics, Orthodox, and most Protestants). Mind you that doctrines are not being created ex nihilo at councils, but rather are being formulated as definitive teaching from the living experience of the Church in response to a challenge or crisis. The "Council of Jerusalem" described in Acts 15 sets not just the precedent for such a meeting, but essentially sets the model of the apostles (bishops) of the Church coming together under the power of the Holy Spirit to solve the problems and challenges of the particular age. In this, we find further support for the notion that the Church is a living entity (the "Mystical Body of Christ"), rather than a simple social or political institution. Further, such meetings underscore how Divine Revelation is a product of both scriptural reflection, as well as the product of Sacred Tradition held within the Church.
How did the Roman and Byzantine Churches begin?
The Roman Catholic Church began when early Christians took the teaching of Jesus to Rome from Jerusalem. St. Peter traveled to Rome after founding other churches. As the chief of the Apostles, he knew that his mission was to take the church to the center of the Roman empire, which at that time ruled the world. St Paul also traveled to Rome. Both were martyred in Rome.The Church stayed essentially an underground Church until Constantine became the ruler of the Roman empire and decreed that Christianity would be the official religion of the Roman Empire.The Byzantine churches were founded by the Apostles and developed at the same time as the Roman church. The beliefs are the same and the liturgy is the same in all ways except externals. The Byzantine Church has a more Eastern Oriental flavor.Roman Catholic Note:Please note that the Byzantine Rite Churches were split in two in the 11th century, and the half that stayed with Rome are technically Roman Byzantine Rite Churches. Mainly people use the word "Roman" to mean the Latin Rite Church, that is incorrect, "Roman" Catholic includes all Rites of the Church including the Latin, Antiochene, Alexandrine, and Gallican, which are the four parent Rites, so it would include the Byzantine Rite Churches still in union with Rome.
Why was St. Cyril canonized?
St. Cyril of Alexandria Feastday: June 27 St. Cyril of Alexandria, Bishop and Doctor of the Church (June 27) Cyril was born at Alexandria, Egypt. He was nephew of the patriarch of that city, Theophilus. Cyril received a classical and theological education at Alexandria and was ordained by his uncle. He accompanied Theophilus to Constantinople in 403 and was present at the Synod of the Oak that deposed John Chrysostom, whom he believed guilty of the charges against him. He succeeded his uncle Theophilus as patriarch of Alexandria on Theophilus' death in 412, but only after a riot between Cyril's supporters and the followers of his rival Timotheus. Cyril at once began a series of attacks against the Novatians, whose churches he closed; the Jews, whom he drove from the city; and governor Orestes, with whom he disagreed about some of his actions. In 430 Cyril became embroiled with Nestorius, patriarch of Constantinople, who was preaching that Mary was not the Mother of God since Christ was Divine and not human, and consequently she should not have the word theotokos (God-bearer) applied to her. He persuaded Pope Celestine I to convoke a synod at Rome, which condemned Nestorius, and then did the same at his own synod in Alexandria. Celestine directed Cyril to depose Nestorius, and in 431, Cyril presided over the third General Council at Ephesus, attended by some two hundred bishops, which condemned all the tenets of Nestorius and his followers before the arrival of Archbishop John of Antioch and forty-two followers who believed Nestorius was innocent. When they found what had been done, they held a council of their own and deposed Cyril. Emperor Theodosius II arrested both Cyril and Nestorius but released Cyril on the arrival of Papal Legates who confirmed the council's actions against Nestorius and declared Cyril innocent of all charges. Two years later, Archbishop John, representing the moderate Antiochene bishops, and Cyril reached an agreement and joined in the condemnation, and Nestorius was forced into exile. During the rest of his life, Cyril wrote treatises that clarified the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation and that helped prevent Nestorianism and Pelagianism from taking long-term deep root in the Christian community. He was the most brilliant theologian of the Alexandrian tradition. His writings are characterized by accurate thinking, precise exposition, and great reasoning skills. Among his writings are commentaries on John, Luke, and the Pentateuch, treatises on dogmatic theology, and Apologia against Julian the Apostate, and letters and sermons. He was declared a doctor of the Church by Pope Leo XIII in 1882. His feast day is June 27th.
What year did the Catholic Church change Mass from Latin to English?
Never, actually, the Mass is still in Latin. Latin is the official language of the Church and when a new Missal is issued, it is in Latin. Most countries have permission to say the Mass in their vernacular language, and that permission is discussed below. But the Mass, itself, is still in Latin. So the Catholic Church never authorized the Mass, itself, to be changed, they only authorized translations to be used in place of the Latin for different areas. . That would be in 1970 when it became official in the Roman Missal. However, English was authorized to be used in the mid to late 1960's in direct translation from the Latin. For example in the late 60's we said "and with your spirit" from the Latin "et cum spiritu tuo". In 1970 it was changed to "and also with you" and in 2011 changed back to "and with your spirit".
What is the difference between a church and a Rite?
Roman Catholic AnswerChurch has several meanings: i. A place of Christian worshipii. The whole visible society in communion with the pope, the Church of Christiii. The Christians of a patriarchate or other delimitation, e.g. the Western Church, the Maronite Churchiv. the Christians of a particular diocese or, in the days before they were organized, of a single town or province, e.g. the Church of Plymouth, of Corinth.These are exact meanings; the following uses are also sometimes met:v. A single family of Christians (Rom xvi, 5)vi. The pastors of the Church (Matt. xviii, 17).vii. Those who are in the clerical state and whose lives are devoted to the service of the Church.viii. the name is properly extended to the ancient non-Catholic churches of the East, as was done by Pope Pius IX in his brief Arcano divinae providentiae of 1868, addressed to "the Bishops of the Churches of the Eastern Rite who are not in communion with the Apostolic See;" but to Protestant religious organizations only by courtesyRitei. The words to be said and actions to be done in performing a given act of religion, e.g.., the rite of burial, of consecrating a bishop.ii. A whole and complete system of forms, ceremonies and prayers to be used in the worship of God, the administration of the sacraments, and minor ecclesiastical occasions. The Catholic Church recognizes nine rites, each one of which has its own right and proper way of doing things, from celebration the Holy Eucharist downwards; they are: the Latin (including variants), Byzantine, Armenian, Chaldean, Coptic, Ethiopic, Malabar, Maronite, and Syrian rites. All these except the Latin and the Maronite are also used by numbers of Christians who are no longer Catholics. It should be noted that all rites are local in origin; historical events have extended their use to whole churches. Liturgically and scientifically the above rites are classified thus: Latin (or Roman), Byzantine, Alexandrian (Coptic and Ethiopic), Antiochene (Syrian and Maronite), Arementian, Chaldean (Chaldean and Malabarese).iii. The organized body or bodies, Catholic or not, and their members, who use any one of the above-mentioned rites. In this sense it is equivalent to "church," and includes the manner of organization, proper canon law, customs, etc. To speak therefore of a Catholic of the Armenian rite means more than that he hears Mass said and is absolve in Classical Armenian Every child of Catholic parents belongs de facto and de iure, and every child of baptized non-Catholic parents belongs de fact or de iure, to one or other of the rites.iv. The word is sometimes used for rank or degree of solemnity of a feast, e.g. the feast of the Presentation is of greater double rite.v. The word is used with varying degrees of accuracy for certain variant forms of some of the rites name in ii, e.g., Dominican and Ruthenian, whose users, in the sense of iii, belong to the Latin and Byzantine rites respectively. The usage is clumsy and confusing, but usual...
