Catholicism is one of the largest branches of the Christian religion. The main Catholic group is the Roman Catholic Church (so named to indicate its headquarters in Rome); however smaller Catholic groups exist, such as the Old Catholic Church, the [Polish National Catholic Church]?, and the [Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association]?. There are also some in the Anglican church, Anglo-Catholics?, that consider Anglicanism to be a branch of Catholicism. Some groups call themselves Catholic but are questionably so: for instance the [Liberal Catholic Church]?, which originated as a breakaway group from the Old Catholic Church, but incorporated so much theosophy? that it had little doctrinally in common with Catholicism anymore. |
