I think you're confusing "three largest branches" with "only three branches".
Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism are all their own big branches with little things coming off of them, but the assumption that every branch of Christianity falls into one of those three categories is just false.

I'm not confusing anything. Those are literally the only branches of Christianity. What other branches are there?
[B]BREAKING NEWS FROM LSPAN[/B]: SENATOR SUPTING ANNOUNCES HE WILL BE ATTEMPTING TO SUE ALL FOUR SENATORS.
Rateria, Hyderbourg, The United States Of Patriots, Fascist Dred, Pulceria
Hermeticism and Restorationism, to name two.
The United States Of Patriots, Pulceria
FOUR MEN ONE WOMEN, TRULY WHAT GOD WANTED?
UPDATE: HE IS NOW SPECIFICALLY SUING SENATOR [nation=short]HUMPHERIA[/nation]
Pevvania, Rateria, The United States Of Patriots, Libiceland, Pulceria
thanks, that makes more sense.
Sincerely Pulceria
"Attempting to Sue" I didn't know you could Sue people on Nation States. :)
Sounds interesting, please keep us updated. :)
My best regards to Humpheria. :)
Rateria, Supting
Breaking news from LSPAN except I'm not the LSPAN country:
Regional Justice Miencraft called for a recall election of Senator Supting. The proposal was seconded by Solicitor General Jadentopia.
Rateria, Pulceria
Likely, the case won't go anywhere, but just in case it does, I will make sure to use LSPAN to keep you and the other citizens up to speed as it happens. I will also be defending Humph in court, so thank you!
Rateria, Pulceria
HELLO LIBERTATEM,
YOUR DICTATORS, MIENCRAFT, HUMPHERIA, PEVVANIA, AND HYDERBOURG HAVE DECIDED TO PUT ME UP FOR A RECALL ELECTION.
WHY?
I AM THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE!
TODAY I CAUGHT THE SENATE BREAKING IT'S OWN RULES, WHEN I POINTED IT OUT, THEY PUT UP A POLL TO REMOVE ME.
I WILL NEVER BE REMOVED, UNLIKE THESE TYRANTS, I SPEAK FOR YOU.
ROCK THE BOAT MY FRIENDS, MIENCRAFT HAS BEEN IN VARIOUS POSITIONS OF POWER FOR YEARS, SAME WITH THE REST OF THEM.
WHEN NEW PEOPLE COME, WHEN FREEDOM COME, THEY KICK THEM OUT.
DONT LET IT HAPPEN TO YOUR VOICE, ME
SUPTING
Pevvania, Rateria, Fascist Dred, Jadentopian Order
You literally weren't even elected, you got in because nobody else ran for that seat.
Rateria
And you were? NO
You're a worthless hypocrite and a tyrant of the region.
You shouldn't even be voting in this, regional justice? More like regional CROOK.
I became President twice, so, y'know, there's that.
Rateria, The United States Of Patriots, Jadentopian Order
Didn't you run unopposed once?
OH ROASTED
Not to be Inquisitive. But...
What rule were they braking? and did they admit it?
So Aradites voted on an intrusive bill with an absentee ballot BEFORE we passed the rule that allowed absentee ballots.
Pulceria
HIS VOTE WAS INVALID
Pulceria
Some context:
- I wish I were a dictator, I'd probably get a better salary
- The violation in question is in regards to a Senator voting absentee on a measure after having to leave mid-session
- The validity of votes in the Senate are at the discretion of the Speaker for that session, I allowed it because it was the senator in question's bill and he was present for the session
- Absentee voting is now codified in Senate Rules to avoid this misunderstanding in the future.
- The Senator is not up for recall because of this, it is a result of his actions such as calling Justice Miencraft autistic, asking those that were disagreeing with him their ethnicity so that he may make racially charged slurs, and calling another citizen a f*ggot. This is definitely conduct unbecoming a public servant.
It is an honor to continue to serve you in the Senate and if anyone has any further concerns, my door is always open!
Rateria
Ah, spoken like a true crook.
I oppose the motion to recall our good Senator Soupting. He has called me a great many names since the start of our terms, including "corrupt", "dictator", "f----t" and "human trash". He has been, at times, inconsiderate and rude, and usually walks into sessions of the Senate knowing very little about the topics of discussion.
But it's for these reasons and more that we love Senator Sackling.
We need a firebrand in the Senate to keep us honest, and this guy fits the bill. He's our loveable cousin who turns up drunk to every family reunion; the office worker who does all the complaining and starts all the drama. He's our man.
Also, with TIME in place, we've got elections coming up in a few weeks anyway, so we should poll his job performance then, not now.
That is all. Please vote against this and keep Senator Sackeraneous in office.
Rateria, Pulceria
Yes. During the transition to the Second Republic. At which time I had already been elected as the final President of the First Republic and nobody really wanted to change President while we changed government.
No we don't. Next Senate elections are two months off. If we passed TIME a week ago we would have started elections today.
Here's the deal, as soon as Miencraft got a second from his jackass friend Jaden to recall me, we had a recall election.
This sets a precedent of two sponsors equalling a recall vote.
For that reason I call for the recall of senator Humpheria.
If anyone seconds this, it will go to vote.
I also call for a recall of
Hyderbourg
Miencraft
Pevvania
Condealism
Eh? TIME doesn't specify at what point in each month elections are to start. We were going off of convention by assuming it'd be at the end of the month.
I took student congress for a year (took 1st to) and that argument is entirely valid, and should not be cause for doubt on your legitimacy.
you have my vote.
Supting
YOU CROOK.
You can only recall senators so if you get another citizen to second the recall of me and Pevvania, then you are in business mi amigo!
Rateria
It doesn't specify, which means it sticks to the times already specified in the Constitution. Which means Senate elections start on the first day of those months.
And since it defines June as an election month, and the act passed on June 1st, we should technically be having Senate elections right now. But it doesn't go into effect until the next time one of those dates passes so we won't be voting until August.

Eh, whatev-
TAKE THAT BACK YOU CHICKEN EATER
Rateria
WHY! ARE WE RECALLING ANYONE.
As has been states elections are coming up shortly, and I don't think this is going to help at all.
Anyway, back to real life politics: Trump has withdrawn the US from the corrupt Paris Agreement.
The God Emperor's reign continues.
Miencraft, The United States Of Patriots, Fascist Dred, Libiceland
Not until August.

This is why Supting is being recalled.
Rateria, Libiceland
Note Pevvenia and Hupheria voted for you. I wouldn't call them dictators. At least not any more.
SPECIAL ELECTION TIME WOOHOO
Alright so.
How about this.
Instead of recalls, we hold the June senate elections as defined by the newly-passed TIME amendment slightly late.
There are five seats. All Citizens can pick a seat to run for. Elections begin in a week. Good luck.
Rateria, Pulceria
And by "in a week" I really mean "on Monday" because that's how weeks work. So y'all've got a few days. Go nuts.
Humpheria, Rateria, Pulceria
I am running for re-election in Seat 4.
[B]Announcement[/B]
I declare my candidacy for reelection for Seat 2 of the Senate.
As Speaker of the Senate, and founder of the RLP, I and my colleagues have made fantastic progress in just a few short weeks, including
-Passing the FRAUD, HOLIDAY and PROTECT Acts
-Passing a legal code
-Passing not one, not two, but three amendments to the Constitution to make a freer, fairer, more prosperous region, two of which I authored myself
-Working with Senator Humph to standardise Senate voting procedures
-Creating a Senate that's transparent and organised
Re-elect Pevvania and the RLP/Coalition Senators!
Rateria, The United States Of Patriots, Libiceland, Pulceria
Hear hear.
Rateria, The United States Of Patriots
I wonder how people would react to a movie where all the characters are white gay men.
Absolutely! Vote Free Libertatem Coalition government!
Pevvania, Rateria, Jadentopian Order
Sane people would say "depends on how good the characters are"
SJWs would say "Well they're all white males so the movie is terrible, racist, and sexist. But they're gay so at least it's got diversity."/
Rateria
I announce my candidacy for reelection for seat five! I wrote the FRAUD Act, which was passed and will now prevent cons like Communism from attempting to fraud themselves to being elected to public office, and I also voted in favor of the Libertatem Law Code, which solidifies the foundation of our region! Vote VenomRingo for seat five if you want to see this continued surge in progress!
Pevvania, Rateria, Jadentopian Order
I will be running for seat 3, Supting's seat. Ever since the IRU merger, I have not once felt unwelcome here, and to thank the great citizens of Libertatem, I am running for Senate. If I am elected, I promise to do my very best to make this region prosper. Right now, I would like to prioritize regional security, but I am open to working with anyone on anything. The ACA/RLP Coalition is built around this idea of cooperation, and so I ask you to vote for any other RLP or ACA member nation that is running for Senate. As Solicitor General, I have read and reread the Constitution many times over to ensure that I am well-informed and confident in my ability to follow each and every law in this great region. I have dealt with constitutional law ever since my days in the IRU, where I not only helped author the constitution, but was also the President during the IRU's last official government term. A vote for me, is a vote for cooperation, justice, and prosperity. Peace!
Pevvania, Humpheria, Rateria, Venomringo
Those are both protestants..Restorationism literally gets its name from the protestant reformation of trying to restore the early apostolic church because they're protesting the Catholic Church isn't.
Seriously, read the first paragraph of Protestantism on Wikipedia
I don't know what seat, but I'm running against humpheria
Jaden4S3
Rateria, Jadentopian Order
Supting has proven incompetent and very unorganized in Senate meetings that lead me to question his ability to effectively serve a public office, so I pledge my support to Jaden and I urge all of you to do the same!
Pevvania, Rateria
Great that you don't even know which seat you want to hold. Its Seat 4 that you want to occupy, by the way. Look forward to the challenge.
Rateria, Terra De Libertatem
Is there a new election coming about or something?
Humpheria, Rateria
I support Humpheria for Seat 4...Like I said before, Supting is an incompetent Senator that frequently disrupts crucial senate meetings!
Humpheria, Rateria, Jadentopian Order
Next week. An amendment passed today shortening Senate terms to 2 months because of the increase in activity. You should run for one of them!
Yes. I know you are a freedom fighter. Run for office against one of these crooks, it doesn't matter who, they're all corrupt.
Humpheria
Thank you, General.
Rateria, Venomringo
Fight the power bro!
Rateria, Terra De Libertatem
That guy isn't a general....
My fault you aren't Solicitor General all of you IRU people are blending together!
Rateria, Venomringo
annnnnd he's a racist. Do not elect this crook
Yup definitely a... Racist? Sure, why not! Obviously nothing wrong with that statement!
Rateria
Ok, Hillary calm down
Pevvania, Rateria
Seat 1 still needs a candidate.

Sure hope Aradites runs for re-election! Great Senator!
Pevvania, Rateria
I don't want friends I want internet fame

I agree, #CantStumpTheHumph
Humpheria, Rateria, Fascist Dred
Thank you, General! (Got it this time!)
Rateria, Jadentopian Order
I take it something happened.
Rateria
I support the election of Jadentopia.
Rateria, Jadentopian Order
I want both.
Still taking challengers for all seats. So far only 4 is contested.
This would refute your claim on the LDS church being Protestant as its was not formed from a separation from the Catholic Church. I think a more accurate term would be Restorationist although that also brings hiccoughs with it.
Miencraft
Is your caps lock key broken?
Miencraft, Rateria, Fascist Dred, Libiceland, Jadentopian Order
True news!
Rateria
No those are different Restorationists get there name from wanting to "restore" Christianity to its original state. Many religions fall in this as they aren't just protesting the Catholic Church. You're thinking of the Reformationist named for wanting to reform the Catholic Church which led to the Protestant religions being founded.
The first paragraph of the Protestant Wikipedia article doesn't say anything about it being one of only three branches. Also just a tip citing Wikipedia isn't the best way to form an argument, but while we are at it go ahead and read the Major Denominations section on the Christianity Wikipedia page.
Also think about this if Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and Protestantism are the only branches where would you place Messianic Jews?
Miencraft, Rateria
Like I said, I'm pretty sure he's confusing "three major branches" with "only three branches". Like how Sunni and Shia are the two major branches of Islam, but you also have stuff like Ibadi.
Rateria, The United States Of Patriots
All Churches besides the Catholic Church is a seperation from the Catholics..that's the thing. The Catholic Church is the original Christian church that dates back to Saint Peter, protestants and protestant denominations are christians who disagree with the Catholic church. Hence "protest."
Messianic Jews would be placed in Judaism, just like Islam, though accepting Jesus, has it's own doctrine (Messianics have the Talmud).
I don't think I'm going to run.
Somehow I'm pretty sure the Apostolic Church is actually the original.
But, nah, I guess Pope Saint Peter's church has been around longer than the Apostles themselves.
Well my Christian history is a bit off, but, still.
Pope Saint Peter...the Apostle...
Yes I literally just realized that.
Terra De Libertatem
See what I mean now?
Where can i find info on how to properly campaign.
Because I would like to run for a seat in the Senate.
Sincerely Pulceria
Rateria
I know campaigns. I have the best campaigns.
No, because going all the way back to that is still not the Catholic Church. Christianity's earliest form was as a branch of Judaism. Hell, earliest Christianity still upheld Jewish law. The Catholic Church may be the biggest, but it's by no means the original.
Pick seat. Say you want seat. Hope you win seat.
You say you're running and specify which seat. You ask people to vote for me. Pray on it. Win. Become a tyrant. Repeat.

Oh I see what you're doing. Get other people to run and then campaign for Humpy. Smart.
Hey, Condy! Remember this?
So today in science we were watching a show called Cosmos and it was discussing evolution and global warming. The host, Neil deGrasse Tyson, was discussing how evolution created dogs and humans as well as when he discussed global warming he said that global warming is destroying the environment and will soon make the polar extinct. As a well principled conservative I thought to myself, ¨How dare they show such atheistic and liberal views in a classroom!¨ than I thought ¨Maybe this is the reason most colleges are home to liberal students.¨ Personally I do not believe in atheism (As I am a Jew) and global warming (Because I know what's fake and real) so with all this being said this brings me to a topic for today's meeting: ¨Should evolution and global warming be taught in schools?¨
Jadentopian Order
7th grade was an interesting year
Yes, it was the Catholic Church. It was the Church founded by Peter, and still is to this day. Protestants just differ on whether they are the true, infallible Church.
As for early Christianity having mosaic law, yes, it did. Until the Council of Jerusalem declared that gentiles had the right to be christians without circumcision or holding Jewish tenets. In fact, Andrew confronts Peter in the book of Acts about this.
is their a difference between the seats?
and so far who is running for what seats?
Not right now. Eventually they will have constituencies. Now it is just to structure the Senate
Which seats are open? 4 and 5?
OK I guess i will run for the fifth seat
Okay, and that doesn't make it distinct from the Catholic Church? An organization completely separated from Jewish law?
You can contest any seat you want to.
Assembled with Dot's Region Saver.
