So don't crow to long or loudly. If I were you I'd be ashamed, as a Protestant, to pin my case on the existence of "only" 8,000 quarrelling, sniping denominations. I'm deeply ashamed and embarrassed and sorry over the existence of the division between Orthodox and Catholics and the dissent among Catholics. I'd never make it cause for triumphal crowing.

Actually Protestants have as much agreement on fundamental doctrine Salvation, and sin as Catholics do.

Look around your church and see that 50% of Catholics do not go to mass on Sundays, thus rejecting the church rules. Look and see how many have 2 child families and see the rejection of the ban on birth control . I could go on but you know what a cafeteria Catholic is. Every one of them is actually their own denomination .So do not crow too loud :)

There's a difference between a rejection of basic Dogma and a difference of opinion on teachings. The Catholic church encompasses a "catholic" point of view with varying rites -- the Syro-Malankar, Syro-Malabar, Maronite and Latin being examples. There is no difference of basic faith as in the case of the myriad Protestant groupings.
