Re: Que Iglesias Evangelicas existentes?
Me parece que dentro de esas 33 000 denominaciones estan incluyendo algo diferente a creencias Doctrinales, pues tan solo de la iglesia de Roma cuentan 242 denominaciones....sera este dato correcto??
y muchos de ustedes usan como referencia 33 000 sectas sin tomar en cuenta que tambien la ICAR esta incluida en la estadísticas...me intereso este articulo y seria bueno estudiarlo y traducirlo mas a fondo, conste que no he dado nada por hecho para que no salga alguien a poner en mi boca algo que jamas dije...
un saludo
Me acabo de encontrar un estudio que da una explicación a la referencia que tanto molesta a nuestros hermanos separados respecto de los mas de 33,000 denominaciones.
No es para nada breve como lo solicita. En todo caso creo que no se puede ser breve en esta explicación si de hecho lo que se pretende es precisamente sustentar de forma matemática y estadística de tal referencia.

Roman Catholics (242 denominations)
Now for the "Roman Catholic" denominations. These appear to be broken down by various rites:
Armenian (Eastern-rite Catholic)
Bulgarian (Byzantine rite)
Byzantine-rite (jurisdiction for more than one ethnic group)
Chaldean (Eastern Syrian rite)
Coptic (Alexandrian rite)
Ethiopic (Alexandrian rite)
Greek (Byzantine rite)
Hungarian (Byzantine rite)
Italo-Albanian (Byzantine rite)
Jurisdiction for both Latin-rite and Eastern-rite Catholics
Latin-rite Catholic
Malankara (Syro-Antiochian, Eastern Syrian), Syro-Malankarese
Maronite (Syro-Antiochian, Western Syrian)
Melkite (Byzantine, Greek Catholic; Arabic-speaking)
plural Oriental (jurisdiction for several Eastern rites)
Romanian Byzantine rite
Russian (Byzantine rite)
Ruthenian (Byzantine rite)
Slovak (Byzantine rite)
Syro-Malabarese (Eastern Syrian)
Syrian, Syriac-speaking (Syro-Antiochian, West Syrian)
Ukrainian Byzantine rite
From these western and smaller eastern rites the encyclopedia gets 242 "Roman Catholic denominations" (year 2000 numbers). The largest is by far the Latin-rite (commonly called "Roman Catholics" by non-Catholic Christians) with 976 million members of the 994 million total members (or 98% of the total, year 1995 numbers). However, since virtually all of these western and smaller eastern rites are in union with the Pope (I am not sure of some of them), there is actually one Catholic Church, not 242 churches or denominations. Based on the encyclopedia's own definition of "denomination" the editors appear to be separating and counting by country which is how you get to 242 (or 238 countries plus 4) "denominations" of Roman Catholics. The Catholic Church in Canada is not a different "denomination" from the Catholic Church in the U.S., which is not a different Catholic Church from the one in England, etc. If you search the available "World Christian Database" online, there is indeed one Catholic Church in the U.S.A., (see also Barrett, Encyclopedia, volume 1, page 783 for the U.S.A.) and in the world there are indeed 238 "Roman Catholic" denominations (for exactly 238 countries), i.e. one Catholic Church for each country. The same "counting by country" seems to be the case with some of the denominations in the other mega-blocs
