The '''Eastern Catholic Churches''' Churches are churches that follow the ancient liturgical traditions of the East, while being in [[full communion]] with the [[Roman Catholic Church]] and placing themselves under the ultimate authority of the [[Pope|Bishop of Rome]].  Some of these churches, like the [[Orthodox Church]], follow the Byzantine tradition, while others follow other liturgical traditions.  The history of each Eastern Rite Catholic church is unique, some having sided with Rome at the time of the [[Great Schism]] and some being joined to Rome after that time.  They are sometimes referred to as '''Uniates''', a term which many Eastern Catholics reject as derrogatory.
