“The Roman Catholic church has has split tons of times.”

The Catholic Church has never once split nor is such a thing possible. People have left the Catholci Church and formed their own churches or bishops have left the obedience of the Catholic Church, but the Catholic Church has never once split.

“Some of the biggest splits involved Eastern Orthodox, Western Orthodox, and Lutherans.”

The Eastern Orthodox LEFT the Catholic Church. The Catholic Chruch did not split. The Western Orthodox - so-called - never existed until the 19th or 20th century and are former Protestants by and large who became Eatern Orthodox buy use Western liturgies. Lutherans left the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church did not split.

“Just ‘cause you keep the name “Roman Catholic” doesn’t mean you didn’t split!”

We don’t even have the name “Roman Catholic”. That was a term invented by Protestants in the 16th century to rationalize their leaving the Catholic Church. If you don’t believe me, look it up in the full edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

“Coral Ridge is keeping the name “Coral Ridge,” too.”

Yep, and which denomination now will be the real Coral Ridge sect? After all, the one keeping the name, will not be the one teaching like the Coral Ridge of just a few years ago!!!

You say when the Lutherans left the RC church, the RC church didn’t split.

But when the 400 presbyterians left Coral Ridge, the Coral Ridge church did split.

You can’t have it both ways.
