The Three Major Groupings within Christianity

Although that Christianity is the religion most known in the world and sometimes is referred to as one faith, there are various denominations in christianity and three major groupings Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism.

Roman Catholic:
The roman catholic church is the world's largest christian church with over a billion members led by the pope.
The roman catholic doctrine maintains that the church is infallible when it definitively teaches a doctrine of faith or morals.
catholic beliefs concerning Mary include her Immaculate conception and bodily assumption at the end of her earthly life.

Eastern Orthodox Church:
The second largest Christian denomination in the world, Eastern Orthodox theology is strongly trinitarian. God exists in the three persons of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Humanity is believed to be created in God's image, but is corrupted through sin. Death is conquered by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and new life is given through the Holy Spirit. 
Unlike the Roman Catholic Church, which regards the Holy Spirit as proceeding from the Father and the Son, the Eastern Orthodox Church claims that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son. Only the first seven ecumenical councils are recognised as authoritative. As in Roman Catholicism seven sacraments are recognised: baptism, confirmation, the Eucharist, penance, extreme unction, holy orders, and matrimony.

Protestantism:

a movement that began in Germany in the early 16th century as a reaction against medieval Roman Catholic doctrines and practices, especially in regards to salvation, justification, and ecclesiology

It shares with all other Christians core beliefs in the doctrines of the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus, the necessity of grace to save humans from the consequences of sin, and the centrality of Jesus' death and resurrection for salvation
Led by Martin Luther, John Calvin, and others, the reformers broke from the Roman Catholic Church due to abusive ecclesiological structures and theological differences.
