there is only one complete Christian church and it is the Catholic Church....the other 34,999 are denominations
Denominations of what? The Catholic Church?
I'm afraid not.
de·nom·i·na·tion diˌnäməˈnāSHən/ noun noun: denomination; plural noun: denominations 1. a recognized autonomous branch of the Christian Church.If the Catholic Church is Christain in nature, it would be classified as a denomination also.
So it looks like there are 35,001 denominations if your figures are correct. Is that number a Papal Decree or was it pulled out of the air, ie made up of whole cloth (that means false, kinda like a straw man?)
