The very existance of 20,000 "Denomiations" of protestantism prove that fact

So which flavor of the 20+ some Catholic rites is the correct one?

It doesn't matter if there is 20 or 20,000. The fact that there are more than one shows that the Catholic church is in no different position than the *Protestants* they condemn.

which flavor of the 20+ some Catholic rites is the correct one? If they haven't divorced themselves from the true church, then they are still true. The Orthodox or Eastern rites, for example , are although schismatic, that is not in complete agreement as to the hierarchy of the church, are nonetheless in agreement as to dogma...we're all together, just have some family issues!!!!
