Are Catholics Christians cause from my last question alot of Christians disowned you as Christians?

Question

and silly me i thought cathlics are the biggest sect in christiant faith

Check my last question and see for your self

Answer 1

Ok first of all maybe you should research a little before you spout off your half ****** ideas about Catholicism...a few points that were stated before were with no merit:
1.Catholics are Christian...the first followers of Christ ...Catholic means universal, as in the universal Church of Christ
2.Any other Christian denomination is literally an offspring of the Catholic Church(because certain people..ex Martin Luther)..wanted reformation because they didnt hold all of the Catholic churches beleifs/practices.
3. Catholics beleive in one God the father the almighty maker of heaven and earth, In Jesus Christ the only son of the Father, and the Holy Spirit...Its called the holy trinity...maybe you should look it up.
4.Catholics do not pray TO saints, the Blessed Virgin, or angels...they pray for their intercession...who better to intercede for you to God than someone who is holy.
5.Confession is not a Catholic asking forgiveness from a man(in this case a priest)...the only reason the priest is there is to keep it formal, and to give you pennance as he sees fit for the sins you have done...Catholics believe they are in Christs presence as they reconcile their sins

Hopefully this helps.

Answer 2

I am Roman Catholic and I am christian; hope this answers your question;
if a Catholic isn't a christian, then what? Agnostic? Jewish? Roman? Buddhist? Atheist?
since the Reformation, many "christians" have despised the Catholic church; most of them today don't have a clue what the Church is or what it teaches
it has served the purpose of monarchies and imperial powers in Europe over the past 500 years, to denigrate the Church; take a look at the situation in Ireland for example, or study the life of King Henry the VIII of England; incredibly Catholic until he wanted a divorce! Suddenly, Martin Luther just may know what he's on about. People who claim to despise an entire group fall into two categories; ignorant, as in uneducated and bigotted, as in inexperienced.

Answer 3

No Christians will ever make such a statement against another denomination because a Christian has love in their hearts for all other people, and they know only God judges.
You must be talking about that other bunch of biggots and hipocrites who think that all they know is all there is to know.
This group make up the majority of Christian opinion and are the true saboteurs of Faith.
They will have you believe that God is in their likeness and if you agree that they are the real deal Christian, you are saved hellajuella !!!!!
If you want to see a Christian go to any church you want to and look for a decent human being who lets and lets live, and who will go out of their way to welcom you as a stranger without any strings attatched.
And you have found a Christian

Answer 4

Yes we are Christian: For clarification this is our faith:

We believe in one God, The Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, True God from True God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father; through Him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation He came down from heaven, by the power of the Holy Spirit He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures; He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, with the Father and the Son He is worshiped and glorified.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.


Catholic meaning Universal (multinational/ethnic, etc) church.

We also believe:

Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again

These are the foundations of the faith, its center along with the presence of Christ in the Eucharist (bread and wine).

But there are still those that will say that we are not followers of Christ. But even more, we have the most charitable organizations. So we help the hungry, the poor, the orphans etc.

So you decide.

Answer 5

Yeah... Catholics are Christians. Almost all forms of Christianity have spawned from Catholicism, with the exception of Eastern Orthodox and Coptic.

After the Reformation about 500 years, Martin Luther paved the way for many, many sects of Christianity. He originally wanted to reform the church as it was, but he gave up and called the Anti-Christ. Since then, Protestants have inherited a disdain for Catholicism, even though Protestantism wouldn't exists without the Catholic Church making up 75% of their religion's history!

Answer 6

"What separates us as believers in Christ is much less than what unites us." (Pope John XXIII)

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 7

To be a Christian is to follow or be like Christ.

In today's society the term has become too broad.

"And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." Acts 11:26

The Catholic Church was 500 years behind the New Testament church, which is where the Christian name was given first.

Answer 8

There are four main religious directions: Christianity, Buddism, Judaism, Islam. Of course there are other directions (ask Tom Cruise), but for the sake of clarity we'll leave it at four.
Christianity splits into Catholicism and Protestantism. Protestantism splits into its own many directions.
So yes, Catholics are Christians.

Answer 9

Catholics are Christians, although a number of protestants consider them unsavory. Catholics, likewise, will not allow anyone who is non-Catholic to take communion, although they recognize baptism in other denominations.

The strife between Catholics and Protestants has been severe at times, and apparently still remains so among some quarters of the Protestant Church. The ongoing dialogues only represent mainstream denominations. Smaller groups are not engaged in ecumenical communication.

Answer 10

Catholics are technically "Christians", a "Christian" is anyone who belives in Christ.

However, Non-Catholic Christians are called Protestants.

Protestants and Catholics(are both considered Christians) but are very different. But we all still believe in the same God.
