Rite of The Eastern Catholic Churches

The Divine Liturgy.

Chrysostom's liturgy under Rome's communion — icons, chant, and leavened bread; only the commemoration of the pope marks the difference.

Understanding it — context, not catechism: how this rite is held

Eastern Catholics celebrate the Byzantine, Alexandrian, Antiochene, Armenian, or Chaldean liturgy rather than the Roman Mass — a Melkite service and a Greek Orthodox service are substantially the same rite. For most attendees the difference from Orthodoxy is invisible in the room and consists entirely in whom the bishop commemorates, which is a fair illustration of what the schism now amounts to at the level of practice.
