Ritual Summon a Special Summon?

I had a fast question.

Royal Oppression can stop Special Summons. Is a Ritual Summon a Special Summon, thus can Royal Oppression stop Ritual Summons?

"Pay 800 Life Points to negate a Special Summon of a monster and the effect of a card that Special Summons a monster and destroy it. Both you and your opponent can use this effect as long as this card remains face-up on the field."

Any summon outside of a Normal and a Tribute Summon is a Specal Summon. Basically there are only two types of summons. Normal and Special (as a Tribute summon is considered a Normal Summon) But unlike Normal Summons there are many different types of Special Summons including Ritual and Fusion.

That said check out this ruling on Royal Oppresion:
There are basically 2 ways to Special Summon a monster. The first way is with a Spell Card like "Monster Reborn", a Trap Card like "Call of the Haunted", or an Effect Monster like "Magical Scientist". The second way is built in to the monster, and Special Summons it without activating an effect, such as "Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning" or "Dark Necrofear". "Royal Oppression" can negate both of these types of Special Summon. In the first case, you chain the activation of "Royal Oppression"'s effect to the activation of the Spell, Trap, or Monster Card's effect, and negate the effect. In the second case, right before the monster is Special Summoned, you can activate the effect of "Royal Oppression" to negate the Special Summon (the same procedure that you use for "Horn of Heaven" or "Solemn Judgment").
 
Anytime you use the effect of a card to summon a monster to the field, its a Special Summon.

Pay 800 points to negate Special Summons....

Just chain to the activation of The Ritual Spell Card to negate and destroy it.

AND, any summon outside of a Normal Summon, "Flip Summon" (flip summons are not considered normal summons, as you can do more than one per turn), and Tribute Summon (tribute summon is still considered a normal summon, as again, you can only perform one per turn) is considered to be a Special Summon. Just adding to what Digital Jedi stated.
 
well

there is a card that lets you normal summon a monster (not sepcial summon ) at the cost of 500 life points i think it is ultmate ofering n e way royal oppreson wont stop this since you are paying 500 life points for a extera normal summon or set so not every card that lets you bring out monsters is nesarly a special summon

Notice that you stated that it allows for a extra "Normal Summon". It doesnt summon anything to the field by its activation.

Scapegoat, Cobra Jar, Jam Breeding Machine, etc, summon monsters to the field by their effect when activated. Ultimate Offering doesnt do that.
