Eastern Catholic churches

The Eastern Catholic Churches are autocephalous (autonomous) Christian churches that recognise the Bishop of Rome as their spiritual leader like other Catholics. They differ on ideas as how the Mass should be organised or the prayers that are more important than the others. Most of them have much in common with Eastern Othodoxy. 

In total, there are 23 such churches. Probably, the best known are listed below:

 Coptic Catholic Church
 Maronite Church
 Armenian Catholic Church
 Chaldean Catholic Church
 Syro-Malabar Catholic Church
