Almost all important doctrine is completely agreed upon between Catholic Christians and most other Christians.
There are some minor doctrine issues and some major cultural traditional differences which, I believe, do not matter that much.
All Christians believe in the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is in the Bible.
Catholics and many other Christians believe that you can ask her and other saints to pray for you just like you ask your church, friends or family to pray for you. Some Christians disagree with this belief.
A Catholic worships and follows Christ in the tradition of Catholicism which, among other things, recognizes that Christ made Peter the leader of His new Church and Pope Benedict XVI is Peter's direct successor.
With love in Christ.

It does not matter whether Christiany orCatholicso.. they say that there are 3 gods, christians say that 3 gods in one person.. so 1+1+1=1 not 3!! you better think deeper. Allah has no son. Allah did not send him self down the earth in a human called Jesus. Jesus is a human like your self but he is a profit that had a message to the world. All the profits before and after Jesus did the same. Your bible has been changed and altered my friend. Allah does not need a son to clear the sins of the humans. Allah can do anything when and what ever he wants. Think deeply christians cause you will be asked by the Only Allah when you die. and he will not forgive you all of saying these kind of things about him. I hope that every christain will get sure that his bible now is the word of allah then beleive in it if it is correct which i really doubt.

Don't "believe" in Mary...did Jesus hatch from an egg?
The difference is really between Protestant denominations and the Catholic Church. (All are "Christian.")
Simply, many people chose to not believe some of the things that the Catholic Church teaches, and they started other churches without those beliefs. This has happened a hundred times throughout history.
All Christian Churches teach some element of God's Truth...some more than others...and some even teach people to sin by mistake.
It's hard to figure out who's right and who's wrong. It's very important to have faith...which means to believe what is right and to do what is right...even if others say it's wrong.
All churches are run by people, and all people are sinners and make mistakes. "Nobody's perfect." It's your job to forgive them and to try to do good in everything you do. No Christian can say that's wrong.

Catholic have saints, believe in salvation through deeds, worship Mary, and pray to saints. Protestants mostly don't pray/worship Mary or the saints. They believe the Catholic saints are just disciples of Jesus just like us. By the way, the Catholics keep adding saints so there's like hundreds. Protestants also believe in salvation through faith, not deeds. Catholics also have the Pope, which the Protestants do not.

Catholisism is a denomination of Christianity. Catholics pray to God through Mary and other saints, Christians pray straight to God. Catholics confess their sins to God through Priests, Christians confess straight to God. Catholics have Priests, while Christians have ministers or pastors. Catholics beleive that the bread and wine ARE the body of the Christ, Christians beleive it is symbolic of his body and blood. Catholics also do things like saying the rosary, going to confession, and taking mass every week.

Roman Catholics ARE indeed Christians as well. They my differ from Protestants in some doctrine but we both worship the same Lord and God.

Catholics are a form of Christianity, just like Methodists are. Catholicism is the original and most successful form.

Any religion following the gospels of Christ is considered Christian. Catholics ARE Christians.

True Christians follow the BIBLE only.
Their leader is THE GOD/JESUS only.
Roman Catholics teach Another Gospel.
Their church is the MEDIATOR between God and Man.
Mary, the earthly mothr of Jesus, is WORSHIPPED more than Jesus ( count on a rosary for proof)
MOST True Christians view R.C. as a CULT.
see below for my story.
