[ Vlad is guilty of no schism. He is Catholic. ]

Every christian is a catholic.. meaning member of the universal church.. The Roman Catholic Church is merely a denomination.. You seem to be obfuscating.. "the universal church" with the Roman Catholic Church.. The RCC is a schism.. as are Baptists..

[Petronski]

The Roman Catholic Church is merely a denomination...

No Catholic Church is a denomination, whether in Rome or anywhere else.

You seem to be obfuscating.. "the universal church" with the Roman Catholic Church..

Not at all. I did not mention the Roman Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is the Universal Church, as Christ wills it.

The RCC is a schism.. as are Baptists..

Whatever you say.

But the Catholic Church is neither a denomination nor a schism. The Catholic Church is the Church founded by Christ.
