Summary

The sources of eastern canon law are customarily subdivided by rite or rite families: “rite” indicates the entire theological, liturgical, spiritual, and disciplinary tradition of a large geographic and cultural region. A rite family may consist of several independently organized churches. Ritual matters often explain relationships among different legal traditions and their development.
