Catholicism will always have its "smaller, purer" exclusive Roman branch which takes a more literal approach to doctrine. Yet Roman Catholicism has no right to claim hegemony over the whole Catholic Church. Catholicism has been far more than one single faith practice since the earliest times with the Roman and Eastern Churches branching out from the original Jerusalem Church.

There is even a Vatican II branch of Catholicism which has no desire to exclude its fundamentalist brother Rome or any other catholic church from the union of the Body of Christ. RiteBeyondRomeDOTcom
