You are not the one I was addressing.
What is your source?
How do they define denomination. How do you? How does the person of whom I asked the question?
And do you trust everything you read on the internet? or are you not able to think for yourself and do your own research? ;)
You haven’t proven a thing except to bring discredit the debunked statement.
And why did you post of all those, causing people to have to scroll through that long post?
The complete hypocrisy of the Catholic criticism of the alleged fractured nature of Protestanism due to there being different denominations is that it puts forth the illusion of unity within Catholicism.
But when you look at the various *rites* and their not insignificant differences, the dissention between the traditionalists and the sedevacantists, and the general, overall criticism and dissention within the ranks over their current pope, it’s clear that anything goes as far as what Catholics believe.
1.2 billion versions of Catholicism, scattered all over the globe.....
Simple enough to find with any search engine but as I said, many a Protestant is search engine challenged.
Now, oh goodie, we get to play the "multiple tens of thousands of different little sects and fragments aren't really different" game.
The primary place that collates such things defines a denomination as one that claims to have a distinctly different statement of faith and/or a special understanding of Scripture not shared by others.
This list is a subset of those that fit the bill.
I'm well aware that people who can't bother to even read the entire chapter of John 3 but who constantly quote John 3:16 out of context may find it bothersome to scroll through that long list. Unfortunately, someone said that if the mention of how many denominations couldn't be backed up it should be withdrawn so, what's a body to do? Why, put the proof out with the accusation is the answer, of course.
I thought there was a slim chance you were honestly requesting proof and therefore provided that proof before my fellow Catholic got around to spending between three and five minutes in a search engine to spoon feed you the information.
have a lovely day
