- These refer to different Catholic rites (and accompanying masses) that have their own respective liturgical calendars (and so also have different lectionary readings).
## Roman rites- The Ordinary and Extraordinary masses are both _Roman_ Catholic, and respectively refer to:
- - **Ordinary** (_Forma ordinaria_): Missal of 1970, or _Novus Ordo Missae_ ("new rite")
- - **Extraordinary** (_Forma extraordinaria_): Missal of 1962, or the traditional Latin Mass ("old rite")
- Per Pope Benedict XVI:
- > It is not appropriate to speak of these two versions of the Roman Missal as if they were “two Rites”. Rather, it is a matter of a twofold use of one and the same rite.[^1]
- ## Maronite rite
- The _Maronite_ Catholic Church is an Eastern (or Byzantine) Catholic _sui iuris_ particular church that is in full communion with the Pope and the worldwide Catholic Church and which has self-governance.
- It has its own historical liturgical calendar, Divine Liturgy (i.e., mass), and accompanying lectionary readings.
- ## Where are the followers of these rites/calendars located?
- All over the world!
- With that said, the Roman rites are celebrated predominantly in Western countries, and the Maronite rite is concentrated in (and under) the (Catholic) Antiochian patriarchate (e.g., Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, etc.).
