Schisms.
Roman Catholics start off as the 1 true church, founded by Peter and centred in Rome. The First schism happens during the crusades when the Knight Templars (worlds first bankers, famous for agressive takeovers) are hunted down to teh death by the loving Roman Catholic church. Then some Europeans in 1600s decide that the Roman Catholics are becoming too lax and the the almighty pig Henry VIII has decided that they are too strict. Here we have the Protestants being set up to follow the Bible word for word and the formation of the Anglican church. Then it goes on and on, withe Methodists and Quakers being formed in the 1800s, then at some point Arkcher's Mormons are set up, and then it goes on with more and more schisms.
The most notable one and perhaps the biggest is the Anglican church (Archbishop of Cantebury and Archbishop of York) kicking the American church and the Canadian out of a key church conference because of the gay bishop. Which addmitedly, we did do it first, but he had to resign when the angry mob turned up.... *sigh*
