Doesn’t matter which one...

The Unity most Protestants have is in the person of Jesus Christ...

The Catholic denomination ‘centers’ on their church ‘membership’, ‘rites’, ‘icons’ and the leadership their ‘pope’....with ‘Mary’ thrown in as close to upsurping Christ Himself.... there are also many branches within the catholic denomination just as with Protestants.

“The Unity most Protestants have is in the person of Jesus Christ.”

Are you saying that you are in unity at present with Bishop Vicky Gene Robinson?

You are factually incorrect. While the numbers vary by sources, there are anywhere from 16 to 30,000 different Protestant denominations, individually led. They also espouse differing theology and are not unified.

The Roman Catholic Church consists of a total of 23 Rites, often called Churches. The are all in communion with the Holy See, at Rome. There is no division, merely variations developed through time and location. A person can be fully Syrio-Malabar and fully Catholic, as that is an accepted Rite of the Roman Catholic Church. The 22 Eastern Rites were called by Bl. John Paul II as the “Other Lung” of the Catholic Church.

Roman Catholicism is focused on Christ. The remainder of your sentence is incorrect.

Sure it does since they all believe differently.

The Catholic denomination(sic)

The Catholic Church isn't a denomination.

Incorrect. Different Rites not different denominations.

Your post exposes your deficient acumen on the topic which comes as no surprise.
