After Catholic and Protestant, some other Christian belief systems include Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, and Evangelical.
In the Protestant church the system would be called doctrine or Theology. In the Catholic church it is catechism or dogma.
Any divisions of Christianity were created by men and usually the result of self serving church systems. There should be no divisions in Christianity (since Christ be the head of the church). If we were to discuss two major divisions I would have to point toward Established Church Systems and Protestant Reformation the latter upon which the United States is established.

You would pronounce it as "Kimberly" - unfortunately christian naming systems do not translate into native languages as their base references are different.
In Catholic theology there are several different kinds of grace, with necessarily different definitions:Grace: The free and undeserved gift that God gives us to respond to our vocation to become his adopted children.Sanctifying grace: As sanctifying grace, God shares His divine life and friendship with us in a habitual gift, a stable and supernatural disposition that enables the soul to live with God, to act by His love.Actual grace: As actual grace, God gives us the help to conform our lives to His Will.Sacramental grace (and special graces - charisms, the grace of one's state of life) are gifts of the Holy Spirit to help us live out our Christian Vocation. (see CCC 1996, 2000; cf. 654.)It is impossible to say how they differ for the simple reason that there are 30,000 different protestant sects who all believe something different. Protestants usually define grace as "God's unmerited favor towards us in Christ". But try and get a couple protestants together from different belief systems and come to a common definition, well, I'm just saying.
Rory McIlroy was raised as a Roman Catholic, but he has mentioned that he does not adhere strictly to any specific religion. He has also expressed interest in exploring various belief systems and philosophies.
Dominion Theology is a grouping of theological systems with the common belief that society should be governed exclusively by the law of God as codified in the Bible, to the exclusion of secular law. Dominionism, Dominion Theology, Christian Reconstructionism, Theocratic Dominionism, Kingdom Now theology, and Theonomy are interrelated Christian belief systems that are followed by members from a wide range of conservative Protestant denominations. They are not in themselves denominations or faith groups. Most Christians believe that no government cant govern the world in total dominion.
Not as such. It obviously draws it's etymology from the root "to protest" in this case; to protest the Catholic church, or more specifically; the Popish system. Now, we know that Martin Luther (the reformer, not the racial rights campaigner) was the first to protest the Catholic Church, and so the German Protestant church became a "religion" for want of a better word. It is actually now a denomination. Then; other "protestant" churches arose, and so; it was more of a "movement" than an entire separate religion. Practically all Christian churches (including the Catholic church) have their basic, say; 5% of beliefs centered around the same ideology. This being so, the "shift" to protestantism can't really be described as a "new" religion. It might be argued that the shift in belief systems is so great that it is "tantamount" to a new religion, but this is just word-play, and not a real manifestation whatsoever.
Non-Roman Catholic AnswerA Catholic is certainly ABLE to go to a Christian church. How the Catholic church will feel about this is a different matter, and a careful perusal of the below will probably give you a clue. (Hint: it's the "the only Christian Church [...] is the Catholic Church" part.)Roman Catholic AnswerCatholics attend a Christian Church every time they go to Mass! The Catholic Church is Christian. Several protestant ecclesial communities, in their effort to establish that they are Christian, deny that word to Catholics. Any simple glance at history will show that the only Christian Church, which was established by Jesus Christ, and exists to this day, is the Catholic Church. from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957ChristianA name first given to the followers of our Lord at Antioch (Acts xi, 26). Since the rise of Protestantism the name has been used in so many different senses as to have become almost meaningless: it may indicate a Catholic or a Unitarian, or even be applied to an infidel who displays some virtue which is associated with Christ. It may reasonably be applied to the members of all the ancient churches, whether in communion with the Holy See, or not, and to those Protestants who profess, explicitly or implicitly, the Nicaean creed in its traditional interpretation. The Church puts no definite official meaning on the word, as she does on Catholic.Christianity is the religion of, the body of faith and morals taught by, the Catholic Church of Christ. The word may be properly extended to include the religious systems of the dissident Eastern -churches and of some Protestant bodies. The current popular use of the word in an ethical, subjective sense, is to be deplored: it is stripping it of all objective or historical connotations.Catholic I. The word is derived from Greek and simply means universal. In combination with the word "church" it essentially merely indicates one of the marks of the Church, and was so used by St. Ignatius at the beginning of the 2nd century; but in the course of history it has come to be the distinguishing epithet of the Church of Christ and his faith: under other circumstances its place might have been taken by "apostolic" or "one." The use of the word in this distinguishing way became current and common in England only from the middle of the 16th century. In some mediaeval translations of the Creed unam sanctam catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam is rendered "one holy apostolic church general."ii. A Catholic is any person who, having been baptized, does not adhere to a non-Catholic religion or perform any act with the intention or effect of excluding himself from the Church. A "good Catholic" is one who practises his religion to the best of his ability.iii. Catholics normally call themselves Catholics without qualification, and are distinguished by the name alike in West and East; except for a body of High Anglicans, no other Christians use the name as a distinguishing title. But Catholics of the Byzantine rite sometimes calls themselves Greek Catholics, Chaldeans are so called, and Maronites always refer to themselves simply as Maronites - they avoid the name Catholic for the good reason that there is no such thing as a Maronite who is not a Catholic, and because in Syria the epithet particularly designates a Catholic Melkite.iv. As an adjective, Catholic in this special sense should only be used of subjects of which Catholicity is predicable, e.g., a man as man, a church, building, or catechism. To speak of a Catholic artist or grocer, Catholic poetry or truth is inaccurate and misleading: an artist or grocer who is a Catholic is a Catholic as a man (and this without reference to whether he paints only ecclesiastical pictures or supplies cheese only to the clergy); poetry may deal with a Catholic theme or be written by a poet who is a Catholic, but is not by that fact anything but poetry; truth is truth and it is improper to call the truth about the Catholic Church, Catholic truth; (cf., Catholic arithmetic, a Wesleyan judge, Quaker music, and, particularly, Catholic culture).
Cultural Relativism: The belief that the value systems of different cultures cannot be measured by the value systems of a different culture. -- Example: If one culture presses criminal charges against a rapist for committing a rape and another culture presses charges against the rape victim for allowing herself to be raped, these are both acceptable value systems that come from different cultures.
England and France developed different systems of government and religious politics due to historical, cultural, and social differences. England experienced the Protestant Reformation earlier than France, leading to the establishment of the Church of England, while France remained predominantly Catholic. Additionally, England evolved a constitutional monarchy with limited power for the king, while France maintained a more centralized, absolute monarchy. These differences were shaped by varying influences such as the Magna Carta in England and the long-standing tradition of divine right monarchy in France.
The Protestant Reformation, initiated by figures like Martin Luther in the 16th century, was a direct challenge to the political and religious authority of the Catholic Church. Luther's 95 Theses criticized church practices, particularly the sale of indulgences, and called for reforms that undermined the Church's power. This movement not only led to the emergence of Protestant denominations but also sparked significant political upheaval across Europe, as rulers and states began to question the Church's influence over governance and individual belief systems.
