No, there is only one Catholic Church. However, within that one Church there are various rites, the largest of which is the Roman or Latin rite. Other rites are the Maronite, Ukrainian and other eastern rites that remained faithful to Rome after the Great Schism. All are considered as Catholics and not separate religions.
