Catholic VS Christian

[pigtail101]

Can u find out the difference between catholicism and christianity? Every one says that they r the same. In fact they r so fuckin different. Some countries kill u for being a christian! Do u know the difference?

[uhnoesanoob]

Christian means anyone who is a believer in Christ. Catholic is a denomination of Christianism, so a Catholic is a Christian, but a Christian is not a catholic. /thread

[pigtail101]

[pigtail101]

Yeah and... Christianity is a broad term that encompasses many different denominations besides lutheranism and catholicism. Martin Luther didn't create all pretestant religions, there are many. Do you even know which one you are?

[LordJaric]

Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Protestant, ext. they are all christians.

[Alphabit]

Catholics are Christians because they believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God and that he came to earth to save us. The main differences are in the details; Catholics, unlike many other Christian denominations believe that the mother of Jesus; Mary is a saint. Catholics sometimes pray to their saints in much the same way that most regular Christians pray to Jesus as opposed to only praying to God. Virgin Mary is believed to have been at the heart of several miracles in the course of history and therefore, Catholics hold a special admiration for her.

Now, there are people who call themselves 'Christian' without any denomination; these people are members of a new Christianity; they often go under 'Christian - Other'. These Christians are generally very hands-on charismatic in their preaching. A lot of Evangelists call themselves 'Christians' as opposed to the longer term; 'Evangelical Christians'.

Luther started the Lutheran sect.

[Rockthebestmusic]

Catholics are considerably different from most other Christian denominations. Also catholics do not beleive that the Church itself has the power to heal sins, Catholics beleive that in confession God acts through a priest to heal your sins.

Catholicism is a church of Christianity.

Christianity is not an actual organization or church, it is merely a core set of beliefs and practices that many individuals and churches follow. The largest and most influential Christian organization is the Roman Catholic Church

Christianity is a belief system, Catholicism is an organized group that runs churches and cathedrals in line with the Christian belief system.

Luther started the Lutheran sect.

...Which is of protestant denomination

"Lutheranism is a major branch of Western Christianity that identifies with the teachings of the sixteenth-century German reformer Martin Luther. Luther's efforts to reform the theology and practice of the Roman Catholic Church launched the Protestant Reformation..."

Protestant Branch

There isn't a sect of Christianity that is "Christian."
If you're a Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Quaker, Morman, Amish, etc... then, you're a Christian.

Nobody can claim to be a Christian in the sense that their sect of Christianity is called "Christian."
So, unless you can specify WHICH CHRISTIAN domination you're comparing to Catholicism... I think you will remain ambigious.

The question is whats the difference between Catholics and Protestants both of who are Christians. Their are a few differences. One being Catholics align themselves with the vatican, and their beliefes encompas this. Such as no abortion etc. Where as Protestantism was formed by many who didnt want to include that in their lives. They still believe in god but dont want to do what the vatican tell them. And so in protest formed the 'Protest'ant divide.

[Brick-top]

Catholism is a denomination of Christianity.

It's the largest denomination with orthodox not far behind.

Well, there are even smaller denominations within Protestantism... such as Luteran, Calvinism, etc...

Nonetheless.
Here's the MAJOR difference between Catholicism and Protestants (and its sects.) One has a Pope. And the other doesn't. Each has an explaination.

Catholics: Christ elected Peter the lead the his church, and after Peter... another took place as the "father" (that's what "Pope" means.) And so on and so on, until... we have Pope Benedict XVI today.

Protestant: They believe the idea of a Pope goes against Christianity because a Pope supposedly becomes a thing of worship, thus taking away worship of God.

Then, there's the smaller differences that creates the smaller denominatons such as Baptism, Calvinists, Pentacost, etc.

But anyways.
Which one is better?

It's the one that makes you feel happy... and it's the one that makes you keep it to yourself.

nobody needs to hear why you're form Christianity is better than the other guy's form of Christianity... just change it, and shad-up.

[SadisticMonkey]

No, no no, Catholics are a type of Christian.

Catholics aren't Christians

Since when? The Catholic Church was the original denomination of Christianity prior to the Reformation. It may no longer be the sole constituent strain of Christianity, but it is still a denomination of it.

In short, pre-Luther: Catholicism = Christianity.
post-Luther: Catholicism =/= Christianity but remains as its main denomination.

[ManlyMan97]

I'm a Prodestent and my best friend's a Catholic. But when we talk about God together things aren't that different.

I'm surprised that his post wasn't followed by that idiotic "Jewish Zombie" picture.

Indeed, I'm also surprised at the fact that he didn't went into his usual anti-American mode either.

You are so ignorant, try learning about penance and reconciliation before talking out of your ass about it.

[MultiCanimefan]

There is no "Catholic VS Christian" because Catholicism is a branch of Christianity. I was raised as a Catholic-Christian, not as a mutually exclusive Catholic or Christian.
