What is the difference between the Roman Catholic church and the Byzantine Catholic church?

Not sure, but they do have Satan in common.

A discussion with a Byzantine Catholic about how the eastern rite worships God with their whole person, body and soul very much encounter and ...

There is this Byzantine Catholic Church down the street from me which is very convenient but the Catholic Church in my township is farther away and can be an inconvience to go to at times. By going to a Byzantine Catholic Church for a Sunday or Holy Day service, will my attendance count for a regular Roman Catholic Church Sunday.

Yes.

Actually there are over 20 different Catholic Churches that make up the worldwide Catholic Church.

If someone is not Byzantine Catholic / Greek Catholic / Greek Orthodox, then why would they use, and swear by the Byzantine (aka Majority Text) Bible?

Excellent point. How many who "swear by" the Majority text realize that it is the Greek Orthodox specific Bible.

Is Byzantine (or eastern) Catholic the same as Orthodox? Is there a difference there between Greek Orthodox? Or is it all just country names based on where you live?

+++ Eastern Orthodox Churches +++

Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics separated from one another in 1054. There are very few theological differences.
