There are various rites in the Catholic Church. This means primarily that there are various ways to celebrate the liturgy, though the different rites have their own set of laws and disciplines in other areas as well, such as the rules for fasting and abstinence during lent. A priest of the eastern rite is a Catholic priest who is a member of the eastern rather than the latin rite (the rite the majority of Catholics belong to).

The "Western rite" is actually known as the Latin Rite. The Latin Rite is the part of the Roman Catholic Church that is not Chaldean, Assyrian, Abyssinian, Copt, Syriac, Armenian, or Malankaran. All of these "Eastern Rites" are in full communion the Pope, but they have their own Patriarchs as well.

The Maronite Rite is a Catholic rite of the Catholic Church. Most people think of the Catholic Church as the Latin Rite as this is the largest. The Maronite Rite is one of the Eastern Rites from Lebanon. Their language is different, and their Mass or Liturgy is based on that of St. James. Of all the Eastern Rites, theirs is the most similar to the Latin Rite. But the question as asked "similarities between the Roman Catholic and Maronite" makes no sense as the Maronite Rite is part of the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church and The Orthodox Church are divided, primarily, over the role of the Bishop of Rome (the pope) as the authoritative successor of St. Peter.
Within The Catholic Church, proper, there is the Latin Rite and the Eastern Rite. There is no theological division between these two rites within The Catholic Church.

Generally speaking, Catholic priests are not allowed to marry. The Catholic Church under Rome is made up of two parts, the Latin Rite and the Eastern Rite. The Pope in Rome is the head of both Rites, and they are equal. Pope John Paul II referred to the church in that "it breathes with both lungs" (Latin & Eastern Rites). The Latin Rite follows the law of celibacy but the Eastern Rite does not. The guidelines for the Eastern Church are as follows: 1. Once ordained, the man may not marry. 2. A married man may enter the seminary and be ordained a priest, however, if his wife dies, he may not remarry. 3. A married priest may not become a Bishop. Recently, the Latin Rite, has made some exceptions to the rule of celibacy. Some Anglican priests who were married wished to convert to Catholicism. They were re-ordained to the Catholic priesthood and remained married. However, like the Eastern Rite, if their wife dies they are not permitted to remarry or be advanced to Bishop.

The Eastern Church is composed of national churches that are in communion with the Patriarch of Constantinople, while the Western Church is under the jurisdiction of the Pope in Rome. The two churches have different theological traditions and practices.
The main differences between the Eastern (Orthodox) and Western (Catholic) churches are:
-The Eastern Church uses the Byzantine Rite while the Western Church uses the Latin Rite.
-The Eastern Church is organized into Patriarchates while the Western Church is organized into Dioceses.
-The Eastern Church teaches that the Bishop of Rome is the first among equals while the Western Church teaches that the Bishop of Rome is the supreme Pontiff.

The four rites of baptism in the Christian tradition are typically recognized as the Sign of the Cross, the Word of God, Exorcisms and Anointing, and the Baptismal Water. The Sign of the Cross signifies the individual's acceptance of the Christian faith, while the Word of God involves readings and teachings from the Bible. Exorcisms and Anointing are meant to cleanse the individual of sin and evil influences, and the Baptismal Water symbolizes purification and rebirth in the Christian community.

Catholic AnswerThere are several Rites in the Catholic Church, of which the Latin Rite (sometimes called the Roman Rite) is the principle one in the West. There are many different Rites in the Eastern Church. When the Schism of the East occurred in the eleventh century, most of the Eastern Rites split in two, which half remaining with the Catholic Church, they are referred to as "Uniate Rites" and half forming a new Orthodox Church. Thus there is a Greek Uniate Rite, and a Greek Orthodox Church, etc..
from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
1203 The liturgical traditions or rites presently in use in the Church are the Latin (principally the Roman rite, but also the rites of certain local churches, such as the Ambrosian rite, or those of certain religious orders) and the Byzantine, Alexandrian, or Coptic, Syriac, Armenian, Maronite, and Chaldean rites. In "faithful obedience to tradition, the sacred Council declares that Holy Mother Church holds all lawfully recognized rites to be of equal right and dignity, and that she wishes to preserve them in the future and to foster them in every way."

I have encountered the following 7.
Others may well exist (in fact they probably do...)
The Armenian Catholic Church [mostly made up of ethnic Armenians outside of Armenia, particularly in Syria/Lebanon etc]
The Ukrainian Catholic Church (sometimes called Ukrainian Greek Catholic) [big in the Ukraine, particularly the Western Ukraine. Present in other countries too]
The Syriac Catholic Church [big in Syria, present in Palestine/Jordan/Lebanon too]
The Greek Catholic Church [Very big in the Middle East in general. The Greek Catholic Patriarch of Antioch was one of the senior churchmen who offered prayers over the coffin of Pope John Paul II at his funeral. I think this is the largest group of Catholics in the Arab world]
The Maronite Catholic Church [Mostly originating in Lebanon, with significant communities in Syria, Cyprus, and overseas. They arose out of the Monothelite doctrine in the 400s AD, but later joined with Rome.]
The Nestorian Catholic Church (also called Chaldean, or the Church of the East) [Big in Iraq, Pope John Paul II called this church 'the Martyrs' Church', because they've survived through such problems over their history]
The Coptic Catholic Church [I understand this church to be really small. Indigenous to Egypt, there are quite a lot of Coptic Orthodox, but very few Coptic Catholics.]

Catholicism is under the authority of the Pope, while Orthodoxy is under the authority of its various Patriarchs.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is the living, breathing, Church founded by Our Blessed Lord before He left this earth. The Eastern Orthodox left the Church in the eleventh century and have pretty much remained unchanged since then. They only accept the early Councils of the Church as infallible, their cultural differences are non-existent, as when the Orthodox broke away from the Church, each Orthodox Church split in two, half remaining with Rome, and half going their own way; so to this day, there is a Greek Uniate Rite, an Armenian Uniate Rite, etc. Uniate rites are full rites within the Catholic Church, which like the Latin Rite, have their own Mass, their own language, and their own way of performing the sacraments. We usually only think of the Latin Rite when we think of the Roman Church but this is incorrect, the Greek Rite is every bit as much the Catholic Church as the Latin Rite is, we in the West are just more familiar with the Latin Rite as it is larger and the Rite that most of us were raised in.1 answer

Saint Barbara is venerated by the Eastern Rite Christians as "Great Martyr Barbara" and she was martyred in the third century AD. She came to be venerated by the Church's of Roman and Eastern Rites from the seventh century AD. She is still venerated by the Eastern Rite Church but the Roman Catholic Church removed her name from the Litrugical Calendar of Saints during the late 1960s - the early 1970s because there is no hard historical records of her existence. There is no historical record of her surname or family name except that history suggests that her pagan father was known as Diocorus.

Your question is not entirely clear. I assume you mean what is the dominant Rite (form of worship) within the Roman Catholic Church. The answer to that is the Latin Rite (or Western Rite), which, despite its name, does not mean conducting services in Latin but instead using the forms of the Mass and other ceremonies that have become established historically in Western Europe and have since spread worldwide.
There are a number of other Rites, much smaller in influence than the Latin Rite. For example, the Byzantine Rite, whose ceremonies are in Greek, is very similar to the services conducted in the Eastern Orthodox Church but is entirely Catholic and under the authority of the pope.
