Well how come there are literally hundreds of Christian religious sects, dividing and multiplying daily, squabbling and denouncing one another over their understanding of the Scriptures?

I don't see a lot of denouncing each other.

On the contrary, I've seen a lot of non-Catholic churches in our area coming together and praying for our city.

People go to different denominations for different reasons and I do not ever hear from the pulpit pastors bad mouthing other denominations.

How many of these things have you heard yourself? When and where?

Other than for purely social reasons or reasons of convenience congregations and their pastors split apart over doctrinal differences, i.e. squabbling over differing interpretations of Scripture. Ride along any metropolitan highway and you will see literally dozens of different denominations which, by their very existence have “denounced” their former church communities.
