It is the bane of my existance... countless times during Mass in the assembly hall in primary school, whenever Father made mention of The Holy Father, every head whipped around and zoned in on me!
As if my mother truly believed naming me simply after my father would have been so confusing..!
Quote:I'd never heard of Latin-Rite Catholicism ..till now. I'll try not to hold it against you!
A Latin-Rite Catholic is a Catholic who belongs to the Latin-Rite or Church sui iuris particular Church within the Catholic Church. This is the largest particular Church along with 22 other particular Churches which we call the 'Eastern Catholic Churches'.
I find 'Roman Catholic' to be derogatory and an inaccurate description of the Church. So prefer to go the confusing route. Also makes me look smart
