And they agree on every exact least point of doctrine?

Then why the different names?

If that were Protestant churches, they’d be condemned as different denominations and be given as proof of the fallacy or inadequacy of sola Scriptura.

Should not all the different names of those Catholic churches then be proof of the fallacy or inadequacy of sola ecclesia?

FWIW, I do KNOW that they do NOT agree completely.

I grew up in WNY where the Ukrainian Catholic church is a strong presence and am very well aware that there are doctrinal differences between them and the Roman rite and that the Roman rite does not consider them as correctly Catholic as they themselves are.

And the Ukrainian Catholics know that the Roman rite looks down on them.
