The Roman Catholic Church is a hierarchical "denomination" headed by the Pope, who believes that he is an authority over all adherents to his organization. He also believes that if you are not a member of his church, you are not a true member of the church universal.

The "church" universal is headed by Christ Himself, through "overseers" locally. All true believers in Christ are members of His Body, and there is no one human head of the church. The church universal is expressed in many denominations, with many different expressions.

Additionally, there are many who claim to be part of church universal, including some in the Roman Catholic Church, who are not part of the church universal.
