WHAT were you thinking, man? You’ve just unleashed 2 billion (or 15, depending on your perspective) angry, purse-lipped vehicles of mass obstruction around here. Quick, smoke them slowly (you do have an incense burner?) until they calm down.

there are "0" Catholic "denominations"...Catholics are THE Christian church...the term Denominations came about to give the 20,000 or so Protestant groups a name. Lutherans, Metho9dists, Baptists are all "denominations of the group which fell away from true Christianity......after about 1,600 years...
