__The Roman Catholic Church (RCC) accuses Protestants of division__ because they are not under one visible head. Yet their own 'physical chain' of apostolic succession has fractured into multiple competing 'True Churches' —Roman, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Old Catholic— that excommunicate each other. __The RCC calls these 'schisms' and Protestants 'denominations,' but the result is the same: fragmentation.__ If the 'physical chain' guaranteed unity, you would not have a Russian Orthodox Church and a Ukrainian Orthodox Church at war, nor a Roman Pope and a Coptic Pope unable to commune. __The fact that valid sacraments and succession exist in these divided bodies proves that the True Church is invisible, united only by Christ and the Spirit. The RCC visible monarchy has not prevented division; it has merely centralized it.__ Therefore, __the Protestant model—which accepts visible diversity while maintaining invisible unity in Christ—is more honest__ about the human condition and more faithful to the biblical definition of *katholikos*. #CatholicChurch #OrthodoxChurch #Apostolic #Succession #Protestantism #Denominations
