There are no "denominations" of the Catholic Church. One is either a Catholic or not. A Catholic is under the authority of the pope as the pope is the head of the church. There are other sects of the religion which are closely aligned theologically, but they are not Catholic and they are connoted as "Orthodox", such as the Russian Orthodox or the Greek Orthodox. Catholic Answer As the above answer points out, there are no denominations in the Catholic Church. However, there are historically different "rites" which are also know as Churches, although they are all Catholic Churches. Most of these Rites, particularly in the East, split in the eleventh century, so there is a Greek Orthodox Church and a Greek Uniate Church. The Greek Uniate Church is a "rite" in the Catholic Church under the Pope. A protestant might think these were denominations, as they appear very different, but they are not, and are all under the Pope.
