中文名: 拉丁礼教会 外文名Latin Church 派 别：基督教 时 间：两个世纪 反 映：耶稣出生地 复杂与奥秘的历史 |
拉丁礼教会（英语：Latin Church）或称西方教会，是天主教会内最大的个别教会。它不是在个别教会中的地方个别教会层面内，即教区或东方礼教区。而是在自治个别教会层面内。另外有22个东方礼自治教会组成东仪天主教会。
历史
拉丁礼教会最初发展是在罗马帝国行省阿非利加（即现今的突尼西亚北部及利比亚西部）。[1]在这之后，教会渐渐傅到罗马帝国中的西罗马帝国。
自西罗马帝国起，从古典时代至文艺复兴时期，拉丁礼教会使用的教会语言：拉丁语成为了教育和文化的主要语言。在该领域发展出各种拉丁礼拜仪式。
术语
教会及礼仪
在1990年定立的《东仪天主教会法典》中，“教会”和“礼仪”有以下意思：
- 教会：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]
- 礼仪：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]
拉丁礼天主教和罗马天主教
有时，圣座也使用术语“罗马天主教”来指整个天主教会是在与罗马主教及的共融之中[4][5]。但是，圣座从来没有使用“罗马天主教”这术语，来专指拉丁礼教会。圣座相当普遍使用的术语“罗马”是指罗马教区。
