Protestant churches had barely begun during the Middle Ages. The most powerful Church was the orthodox Christian Church. At the Great Schism, it separated into the Roman Catholic Church, which was arguably the larger, and the Eastern Orthodox Church. From a time before the fall of the Roman Empire, there were always also other, smaller church organizations, such as the Coptic Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches.

There where other sects that formed throughout the ages, but they are not properly constituted or defined as Churches in the Historical sense of that term as it has been used and defined by the Church Herself. The term Church applies to the visible organized Universal Expansion of God's Covenant with man. There is the Church Universal, and there are"particular churches" which comprise it. Ergo there was no other Church during the middle ages except the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

The most important Church of the Middle Ages was the Catholic Church. When it split in 1054, it became the Roman Catholic Church in the West and the Eastern Orthodox Church in the East. There were always other Churches. The Celtic Church, the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches were very early and all predated the Middle Ages. The Celtic Christian Church was absorbed by the Catholic Church, but the others continue. There were also heterodox organizations outside orthodox Christianity, and some of these were declared heretical, in some cases resulting in military operations.
