Main Branches of Christianity:

Many organizational schemes divide Christians into several main “branches” (each of which can be further subdivided, of course). Yet how many “main” branches are there? Who gets grouped together? Where do smaller groups belong? And does arranging the divisions in certain ways reflect any bias?

• Three (or Four) Main Branches: Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant (and Anglican, "Anglo-Catholic"; half-way between Catholic & Protestant)
  
  
  
  • Some schemes suggest five, six, or more "main" branches, possibly including: Nestorian, Monophysite, Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Anglican, Restorationist, Independent, Marginal, etc.?
  
  
• Subdivisions of the Main Branches (here in overview; see the next section for more details):
  
  
  
  • Eastern Christians are mostly "Eastern Orthodox," but some are Nestorians ("Church of the East") or Monophysites ("Oriental Orthodox").
    
    
    
    • The divisions among these Eastern Churches go back almost 1500 years, stemming from disagreements in the fifth century CE.
      
    • Long after the East/West divisions of 1054, some Eastern Churches reunited with the Roman Catholic Church (thus called "Uniate" Churches).
    
    
  • Catholic Christians are mostly "Roman Catholic"; yet some groups still call themselves "Catholic," but are no longer united with Rome.
    
    
    
    • The "Old Catholic Church" broke away in 1870, disagreeing with the decrees from the First Vatican Council about "papal infallibility."
      
    • Various groups of "Traditionalist Catholics" or "Tridentine Catholics" broke after 1965, disagreeing with reforms of the Second Vatican Council.
      
    • Other groups of "Progressive Catholics" broke since 1965, thinking the reforms instituted by Vatican II did not go far enough.
    
    
  • Protestant Christians are subdivided into thousands of different denominations, as well as "independent" or "non-denominational" groups.
    
    
    
    • The historically earliest were founded in the 16th century by Martin Luther ("Lutherans") and by John Calvin ("Reformed" or "Calvinist" Christians).
      
    • The Anglicans, or "Church of England," separated from the Roman Catholic Church for political, not theological reasons; thus, "Anglo-Catholic" beliefs and practices are similar to Roman Catholics, but Anglicans don't acknowledge the leadership role of the Bishop of Rome (the "Pope").
