Caphiric Rite

The Caphiric Rite, also called the Imperial Rite, is a Catholic Occidental liturgical rite. It is the primary mode of worship of the Caphiric Church and Caphiric Catholicism, and was formally created by the Eight Points Agreement, recognizing the liturgical practice divergence that occurred in Caphiria between the Great Schism of 1615 and the Eight Points Agreement. The existence of the Rite itself within the Catholic hierarchy is preceded by the Caphiric Use, an adaptation of the liturgy used by the Personal Ordinariate of Reconciliation. It incorporates most of the changes which occurred during the schismatic era with only minor differences to ensure orthodox belief and practice, including a significant reemphasis of the sacrificial element of the liturgy as well as inclusions of significant Old Testament material related to the ancient temple sacrifice.

The Caphiric Rite, which differs from the Latin Rite, is used by some seven hundred million Catholics within the Caphiric Church and is used throughout Sarpedon. A liturgy within the Caphiric Rite is called a "hostia".
