Don’t forget the Romish and the Papists, too.

490 years old. I’d have to say by the extensive number of Protestant denominations that have developed that it’s been a fairly successful effort. We’re 2000 years old and we’ve only got 22 different (cultural) entities. I guess that, by the numbers, you guys have won.

Happy birthday.

Please be clear about this! Same faith; different expression. Unlike the 20,000+ protestant denominations, the 22 Churches make up the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.
