Résumé
- The Catholic Church has no denominations: it is one Church made up of 24 churches sui iuris, the Latin Church and 23 Eastern Catholic Churches, all in full communion with the pope.
- The Eastern Catholic Churches follow five traditions (Alexandrian, Antiochene, Armenian, Chaldean and Byzantine); the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church is the largest.
- Opus Dei, the Neocatechumenal Way and the Charismatic Renewal are approved movements inside the Church, not separate kinds of Catholic.
- The Vatican declared the Society of St. Pius X in schism on 2 July 2026, after it consecrated four bishops without papal approval.
- The Old Catholic churches (formed after 1870) and the Polish National Catholic Church (from 1896–97) are separate churches not in communion with Rome.
