The eastern Orthodox churches are generally not in full communion with Rome. In many countries with Orthodox churches there are other groups that follow eastern traditions but retain communion with Rome. They are considered by Roman Catholics to be separate rites of a single Catholic Church. They are sometimes known as Uniate churches, but that term seems to have a negative connotation. --clh]
