I grew up a Roman Catholic.
It was many years later before I ever entered churches other than Baptist.
Besides, the eastern Orthodox, who claim they are catholics, we have what was called mainstream protestants from Europe.
Episcopalians, Lutherans, Methodists, and Presbyterians.
I've been in each of these churches and they seem so much like a Roman Catholic church.
The old churches, the bells, the candles, and other rituals, I wonder, are they still catholics?
Are they simply popeless catholics?
I've heard people say, "no, they've changed".
Have those people ever been in a Roman catholic church to be qualified to say they've changed?
Are they all ecumenical churches?
How does all this play out in the end times?
Who has the answers?
Who are the experts here?
I'd like to know.

There was a great divide amonst the catholics during the times of constantine. Constantine handed over all the wealth of all the parts of rome he had. and declared the roman catholic church to be the main power and ruler of his wealth of all the states that he had.
Only some states of rome where not under the rule of constantine hence the great divide.
The states that the roman catholic empire could not control or have temporal power over (political power) formed there own sects that where not ruled by a pope.
This is the only difference my friend nothing more nothing less.
