Wouldn't that make UNITED Methodist Churches a misnomer?

If I recall correctly, the present day United Methodist Church was formed from a merger of some other Methodist denominations. So they claimed to be United at the time of the merger.

And now they’re splitting because of homosexuality.

No different that a schism in Catholicism that has lasted 1500 years.

But that’s OK, cause hey, they are all Catholics and it’s OK for them to do it but nobody else.

The "United" word was added in 1968 due to a merger between the traditional Methodist Episcopal Church, and the Evangelical United Brethren Church.
