==Main article==
The Roman Catholic Church is a major Christian [[denomination]]. It's head-quarters are in Rome but it has congregations throughout the world. It claims to have an unbroken leadership first from [[Jesus Christ]], through the [[apostle Peter]] to the [[pope]] by [[Apostolic Succession]]. The [[Protestant]] churches split away from the Roman Catholic Church in the sixteenth century based on differences in opinion of [[doctrine]], especially the issue of [[Justification by faith]] versus [[Justification by faith plus works]].
