AnswerActually, before even that the Great Schism saw the Church split into two centuries before the Reformation. The two fractions were the catholic Church based at Rome under the jurisdiction of the pope, and the Orthodox Church based at Constantinople (now Istanbul)No religion "branched" out of Catholicism. Catholicism is the Mystical Body of Christ (see Acts 9:1-5; 1 Cor 12:12-14) and Our Blessed Lord only has one Body.
