The Roman Catholic church has has split tons of times. Some of the biggest splits involved Eastern Orthodox, Western Orthodox, and Lutherans.
Just ‘cause you keep the name “Roman Catholic” doesn’t mean you didn’t split! Coral Ridge is keeping the name “Coral Ridge,” too.
The tendency toward schism in the Church goes back to apostolic times. Still we can claims to have a continuous organization link to those times. But the splits in the Protestant churches are continuous.

The Catholic Church has never once split nor is such a thing possible. People have left the Catholci Church and formed their own churches or bishops have left the obedience of the Catholic Church, but the Catholic Church has never once split.

The Eastern Orthodox LEFT the Catholic Church. The Catholic Chruch did not split. The Western Orthodox - so-called - never existed until the 19th or 20th century and are former Protestants by and large who became Eatern Orthodox buy use Western liturgies. Lutherans left the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church did not split.

We don’t even have the name “Roman Catholic”. That was a term invented by Protestants in the 16th century to rationalize their leaving the Catholic Church. If you don’t believe me, look it up in the full edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Yep, and which denomination now will be the real Coral Ridge sect? After all, the one keeping the name, will not be the one teaching like the Coral Ridge of just a few years ago!!!
