Well, I'm a Muslim and as far as I thought I knew about Christianity; Catholics, Protestants, Jehovah Witnesses and others belonged to diferent sects of CHRISTIANITY!
So, basicly, all would call themselves Christians, u know!
But recently I have seen that the word 'Catholic' and 'Christian' used in the same sentence to reffer to different people almost all the time in R&S and other forums. Besides, what really puzzled me was that when I was reading this book on Islamic history by a westerner and I came to the topic of 'Crusades' - he seem to have divided the churches into two = 'CatholicChurch' and 'Christian Church'.
Now, I'm really confused. Is Catholicism a different religion altogether? but wait - My Roman Catholic freinds here call themselves Christians. MORE CONFUSION! Please help.
