歷史

拉丁禮教會最初發展是在羅馬帝國行省阿非利加(即現今的突尼西亞北部及利比亞西部)。[1]在這之後,教會漸漸傅到羅馬帝國中的西羅馬帝國

西羅馬帝國起,從古典時代文藝復興時期,拉丁禮教會使用的教會語言:拉丁語成為了教育和文化的主要語言。在該領域發展出各種拉丁禮拜儀式。

術語

教會及禮儀

在1990年定立的《東儀天主教會法典》中,「教會」和「禮儀」有以下意思:

教會:A group of Christian faithful united by a hierarchy according to the norm of law which the supreme authority of the Church expressly or tacitly recognizes as sui iuris is called in this Code a Church sui iuris.[2]
禮儀:A rite is the liturgical, theological, spiritual and disciplinary patrimony, culture and circumstances of history of a distinct people, by which its own manner of living the faith is manifested in each Church sui iuris.[3]

拉丁禮天主教和羅馬天主教

有時,聖座也使用術語「羅馬天主教」來指整個天主教會是在與羅馬主教及的共融之中[4][5]。但是,聖座從來沒有使用「羅馬天主教」這術語,來專指拉丁禮教會。聖座相當普遍使用的術語「羅馬」是指羅馬教區
