The primary Roman Catholic Church, often referred to simply as the Catholic Church, is the most prominent Western church. Additionally, there are various other churches that emerged from the Western tradition, including the Anglican Church, Lutheran Church, and various Protestant denominations. These churches have distinct beliefs and practices but share a historical connection to the Roman Catholic Church.
The Pope controls all Catholic Churches, including Ukrainian, however they maintain their own individual style of worship. They share dogmatic beliefs with the universal church.
All Protestant denominations had their origins in the Catholic Church. Some of them broke directly from the Catholic Church, such as Anglicans and Lutherans. Others eventually split from the original Protestant denominations such as the Baptists, Puritans (Congregationalists), Methodists, etc., to form their own sects. The Orthodox Churches were part of the original Catholic Church but split with them in the Great Schism of 1054 due to doctrinal differences. However, members of the Orthodox Churches are not considered as Protestant denominations.
The evidence of the Bible is that there was a great deal of diversity in Christianity during the first century. Gradually one group began to dominate and went on to become what is now known to scholars as the Catholic-Orthodox Church. This group subsequently began to splinter, with some groups such as the Coptics and Arians leaving the main Church. The Great Schism of 1054 resulted in the separation of the unified Church into what we now know as the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. Protestant Churches left the Roman Catholic in the Reformation, and so can claim to share the heritage of the Catholic Church. No one modern Church can really claim to be the original Christian Church to the exclusion of all others. The books that now form the New Testament were the ones selected by the Catholic-Orthodox Church, and they do warn against other Christian groups, with references to "false prophets" and "heretics". But they do not mention the Roman Catholic Church.

To go against the catholic church.
A:Some churches are incredibly wealthy, while other denominations struggle to fulfil their mission. Among the wealthiest are some evangelical churches, most notably including televangelists who live lives of extreme luxury, and the Roman Catholic Church. Real estimates of the Catholic Church's wealth are virtually impossible because of its secrecy. It has vast landholdings around the world, substantial share portfolios and priceless art collections.If these wealthy churches ever chose to divest some small part of their wealth in order to assist the poor, it would be easily possible to do so.

No, that isn't necessary! Preists don't receive individual gifts from members of the church, the church receives gifts... but get this, they share them with other churches in the diocese! The diocese shares it with other churches, this makes the church more unified, they run as a whole!
Christianity is a major religion. The Christian Church consists of the Orthodox Churches, the Roman Catholic Church, the Anglican Church, the Protestant Church and several other Churches that do not quite fit these categories, such as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon.) In turn the Protestant Church includes numerous denominations, including Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodist, Disciples of Christ, Church of Christ, Baptist, and so on. Some churches, or associations within larger denominations, are known as Evangelical, in that they believe one must have a persona conversion experience in order to be truly "Christian," and that all Christians are obligated to "share the faith" by proselytizing.
Until 1517, there were only two branches of Christianity; the Roman Catholic Church, which had the Pope as its head, and the Eastern Catholic Church, also known as the Orthodox Catholic Church, which was led by the Patriarch of Constantinople (later called Istanbul). If you were Christian, you were Catholic. In 1517, a Catholic Monk named Martin Luther nailed a list of 95 things he found wrong with the Church on the door of his parish church in Wittenburg, Germany (although lately there has been some question whether or not he actually and literally Nailed them). These were the 95 Thesis that were the basis of the Protestant Reformation. The "Protestant Reformation" was so called because Martin Luther, and the people who followed him, Protested the injustice and downright Blasphemy that they saw in the Catholic Church. There were all sorts of practices of the Church with which they disagreed, but the two Basic ideas that inspired the Protestant Reformation were (1) the idea that Every person had personal access to God, and had no need of a Priest to mediate with God for him/her, and (2) the premise that Faith alone was sufficient for Salvation. The Catholic Church held, and still does, that a combination of Faith and Service (works) was necessary. The churches that carried on these beliefs are called Protestant, and the people who attend are known as Protestants.
Catholics the world over have declared their love, faith and consistency in the Catholic Church. Effectively they have said "we need and want the catholic faith and the church that supports it."Catholics have a mission to evangelize. This means that we they want to share their faith and church with others. In other words everyone needs the Catholic Church, however, some have not yet come to that realization.
