It seems you might be trying to make a point that there is so much disagreement, we need 30,000 sects--and don't really want to know what church I go to. There are many reasons why a group of churches might want to govern their own affairs. There are only a couple of dozen meaningful divisions. The rest are geography, polity, ethnic/cultural, and small things that don't affect the basics.
I am not Catholic, so I am not using Catholic beliefs in my arguments
The fact that there are any divisions at all tell me that Jesus isn't really talking to anyone. Catholics and Protestants killing each other across Europe over how to follow the same guy, and their god just sits back and watches. Thousands of years of studying the bible, and christians are no closer to finding the truth.
