Well....there was only one Church...the Catholic Church starting in AD33 after Pentecost....in 1054, the Great Schism between the Western and Eastern Church occurred...splitting Christianity into the Catholic Church (west) and the Orthodox Church (east). Then the protestant reformation started around 1517 or so....with Martin Luther as the catalyst. This further caused a split in the western church.
