In the Catholic Church, the word "rite" refers either to a particular ritual action that the Church undertakes, such as the "Rite of Baptism," or to the overall expression of Catholicism that is undertaken. In the first case, there are many rites that are celebrated within the Catholic Church. In the second case, there are several different expression found in unity with each other in the Catholic Church, each containing a certain amount of the total Catholic population. All of these Rites are in union with the Pope and share the same beliefs (not just on a superficial level, but completely), but there is a diversity in expressing the same Catholic truths and pratices. There is the Latin Rite (which everyone tends to refer to as Roman Catholic). Then there are Byzantine Catholics who may be of the Ukranian Rite, the Ruthenian Rite, the Maronite Rite, and so forth. These types of rites differ from each other with regard to their worship practices (the form of the Eucharistic celebration differs as to language, types of representations of God and holy men and women, and so forth), geography (the Ukrainian Rite, for instance, whereas Latin Rite Catholics are typically found just about anywhere on the globe), history, and some disciplinary practices (each Rite has its own verson of Church Law actually).
