inst catholic apart of the xtian religon?

Answer 1

Yes, the Catholic Church is part of the larger Christian faith.

Almost all important doctrine is completely agreed upon between Catholic Christians and other Christians.

Here is the joint declaration of justification by Catholics (1999), Lutherans (1999), and Methodists (2006):

By grace alone, in faith in Christ's saving work and not because of any merit on our part, we are accepted by God and receive the Holy Spirit, who renews our hearts while equipping us and calling us to good works.

There are many minor doctrine issues and some major cultural traditional differences which, I believe, do not matter that much.

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.

Answer 2

I think you're asking "Isn't Catholicism a part of the Christian religion?"

If so, the answer is yes. However, a lot of protestants and other segments of the Christian world don't consider Catholics to be Christians, stemming from the original break with the Catholic church and because of the importance put on the religious authorities, like the pope, and what's perceived as in indirect relationship to god, ie mediated by the clergy, and also the role that the Virgin Mary plays.

On the other hand, Catholics believe Jesus is the messiah, which is pretty much the only pre-requesite to being Christian. So when other Christians say Catholics aren't, it's pretty much along the lines of when conservatives call liberals unpatriotic, or liberals call conservatives fascists.

It's the kind of attitude where being part of a religion is less about faith and worship than about being part of a club, and the more exclusive, the better.

Answer 3

The rubber room awaits your arrival. There are two religions in the whole world. One is true! the other false.
A little leven frements the whole lump..so use the great wisdom of the Bible to back your answers on the issues.
Men have to decide which one to follow...the light or dark.
Two ways to prove whether you are right or wrong...I'd much rather see a sermon than hear one. Show me the fruitage of your ways and I will hear your beliefs. Good fruit does not come from a rotten tree....nor does rotten fruit come from a good tree. The rotteness must be detroyed for the good to survive.

Answer 4

I'm not that young, been catholic all my life, did a lot of traveling, and never heard of "xtian" let alone the "xtian religion"...so your answer more than likely is no.

in response to a poster...why should catholics feel they are a part of christian religion, when the christian religion was formed "from" the catholic religion.

Answer 5

Catholicism is the first of the Christian Religions, all the other ones were formed because of disagreements with catholicism. Further, more were created when the new christian religions disagreed. Anyway, Jesus', who was actually a Jew, apoltles spread Christianity and there was only really the one type - which was catholicism - until the protesters started the "protestant" branches of christianity..

Answer 6

While not all Christians are called Catholics, all Christians are Catholics.
As dumb as that may sound it is true.
Christian follow the Catholic Church in her rebellion against the true faith.
All Christians inbrace the false savior given to them by the Roman Catholic Church.
The savior of the Christian Catholic Church is not the REAL MESSIAH written about in the Holy Scriptures.
Jesus the Christ of the Catholic Church is in total opposition of every thing the Real Messiah and His apostles taught.
The Hebrew Messiah has a Hebrew Name. The REAL MESSIAH taught His apostles to live by the EVERY WORD of His Father Whose Name is Yahweh. Matt.4:4
The REAL MESSIAH sent to save the world throught the Hebrew people MUST have a Hebrew Name that Name is YAHSHUA and in Hebrew His Name means Yahweh's Salvation.
Every time this Holy Name is written, spoken, read, or heard it tells His story of Who He is and why He came, His NAME still brings glory to His Father Whose Name is Yahweh ...even in our day.
The name of the Christian savior has no redeeming power in it.
As Acts 4:12 states there is only ONE NAME that has Salvation in it.
That Name is not now, nor will it ever be Jesus the Christ of the Christian religion.
If you want the REAL Hebrew Messiah, you will call on Him using His Real Hebrew Name or you will not be heard by Him or His Father Yahweh!

So who is the godman name Jesus?
Come see.
