This page albeit professes an attempt to classify all constituent Christian Churches which together form the Holy, Catholic Apostolic Church does not include the myriad divisions within Protestants and the dissident or self proclaimed Pentecostal / Evangelical Churches, many of which even independently assert that they are the sole Church. Please note that the list given below is not exhaustive especially in the case of the Western Churches

Also Note that we do not endorse the Universal Ecclesiastical jurisdictional and temporal claims of the papal Roman Catholic Church nor his holiness' Infallibility dogma.

All Catholic Eastern Churches (A-III) are mostly breakaway Churches from indigenous ancient Eastern Churches which maintain their Eastern Rites but profess communion to the pope as the supreme spiritual leader.

Also note that the division is outlined on the parameter of their history or establishment. As it stands today, the world is a much smaller place. As an indigenous people started migrating, almost all the Churches have their dioceses covering different parts of the world to cater to the traditional spiritual needs of their subjects.

I have tried to cover all of the established Churches irrespective of Catholic/Orthodox/Protestant Leanings. The Data is only modestly researched. All suggestions and corrections are generously welcome.
