What is the difference between a Use and a Rite?

Upvote:3

Looks like a "Use":

denote[s] the special liturgical customs which prevailed in a particular diocese or group of dioceses

Old Catholic Encyclopedia - Use of York

and a "Rite" is :

the whole complex of the services of any Church or group of Churches

Old Catholic Encyclopedia - Rite

In practice, it looks like a "Use" is an accommodation granted by the Pope acknowledging the Bishop's desire for local customs (or a religious order's customs) to form part of worship and a rite is the state of a local church as it formed and took shape because of geographic boundaries in the early church.
