You'll be interested to know that not everyone in the Catholic Church is willing to accept Pope Francis, who is sometimes regarded as the "False Pope" due to the manner in which he became pope. Normally, a Pope reigns until his death, but Pope Francis's predecessor Pope Benedict XVI resigned, the first to do so since the 15th Century. And yet, Pope Benedict XVI remains an influential Pope Emeritus, thus leading to an unusual situation of "Two Popes". This mirrors the current situation in the US where there are "Two Presidents" due to the election coup.

And just like how the people who are awake don't give a toss about Biden, so too do the awake within the Catholic Church try at best to ignore Pope Francis as if he were not pope. Indeed, if they do take notice of him, they end up feeling disgust at his decisions such as his bizarre (and possibly satanic) Nativity Scene, his acceptance of gay marriage, his Marxist leanings (in fact all of his predecessors of the past two centuries have condemned Communism), and so on. Yet there is a general feeling among the awake worshippers that the Church will one day be "retaken" from the corrupt leadership and restored to its former glory. Again, this is much like how we are feeling with the Presidency.

But enough about Church politics. I'd suggest your safest bet is to learn about Christianity with your best friends in the Catholic Church, because by doing so with you'd receive a strong foundation in Christianity no matter where you choose to go next. Note that when you do so you'll first be catechumens for about a year, i.e. people who are preparing themselves for a Christian baptism. In Christianity, "there is only one baptism for the forgiveness of sins": no matter the denomination, your baptism is your "membership" to Christianity under One Church (albeit divided by schisms throughout its long history), because the Church is ultimately subordinate to the God the Father (Creator), the Son (Christ the Redeemer) and the Holy Spirit (Giver of Life). Your relationship with God is therefore ultimately personal and not bound to any one denomination or church leader.

Despite the divides, the core beliefs are shared across denominations. In many ways they are like many families, sometimes squabbling, sometimes good friends, sometimes healthy or sometimes dealing with messy affairs, under the umbrella of Christ. Thus if you wish to look into other denominations after baptism you'd be okay to do so. Sometimes that may mean a period of initiation within that denomination before receiving Communion, but because you'd already be baptised you wouldn't need to be re-baptised.
