Really it doesn't. There are three specific things which are referred to by the word 'Church': The local, New Testament church, the invisble, universal church of all believers, which is on;y mentioned a couple times, as it is not yet fully formed, and Israel while in the wilderness, (called the church in the wilderness). as for doctrinally, there is only really one type of church, because there is one faith, one baptism, one Spirit, etc-when these things change from their biblical forms, they are no longer a church.

What do Christians believe the church has a right to say about the Bible?

When a church "filters" the Bible through its own (manmade) doctrine, the only possible result is unscriptural error.Matthew 15:9 - And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. [NKJV]
Where does it say in the Catholic Bible that baptism can be done by sprinkling?
Roman Catholic AnswerThere is only a Bible, the Bible used by the Catholic Church is the entire New Testament and the entire Old Testament.
