"Catholic" Churches
:In most cases, that is the protocol being used. However, especially when referring to some of the smaller bodies within the RCC, referring to them as (e.g.) the '''Syrian Roman Catholic Church''' (rather than simply '''Syrian Catholic Church''') could be misleading -- for one thing, most Eastern Rite (Roman) Catholics explicitly do not use ''Roman'' to describe themselves. Further, the use of ''Roman'' in those cases might mislead one to think that such churches were using the Latin Rite, which most are not. The relevant articles will certainly make explicit that such churches are subject to the Vatican. --[[User:ASDamick|Rdr. Andrew]]
 
:: It should also be noted that Middle Eastern Christians tend to regard the term "Roman" as equivalent to our use of the term "Byzantine." --[[User:Basil|Basil]] 11:03, 10 Jan 2005 (CST)
