The history of the Church of Rome is a constant leakage of members into such breakaway cults, which go on splitting.
The crew members for 'The Price Is Right' at night are the same guys who work 'Y&R' during the day. It's even in the same studio. I've been in the place for 15 years. So all the faces at 'The Price Is Right' are familiar.
