Question

I am trying to compare the outcomes and causes of religious schisms. So I need to figure out what is the difference between the Catholic Orthodox and Catholic Prodestain HELPPPPPP!!

Answer 1

There are important differences between the Catholic-Orthodox schism and the Catholic-Protestant schism.

The Catholic and Orthodox Churches are not separate churches but the single church living in schism. The split did not create new religions but rather divided the single religion. Dogmatically there really are not large differences between the two and the differences are more of perspective than of belief. The causes were mostly cultural rather than doctrinal. On the Greek side, the Roman Emperor (who lived in Greece not Rome after the fall of Rome) wanted to control the Church and tried using politics to reduce the power and authority of the Church of Rome over Churches he had control over and reverse them so he controlled Christianity. On the Roman side, civilization collapsed. To provide a comparison, imagine that the head of the Church resided today in modern Afganistan, while trying to lead the Church in America. Rome had fell to the barbarians and western Europe was much like Afganistan today. The pope may hold the office of successor to Peter, but he was mostly a primitive sort of person compared to Byzantine society. Imagine Americans feeling pushed around by an Afgani tribesman. That is the modern equivalent.

Now, the Catholic and Protestant split. This one was different. Unlike the Orthodox where doctrine remained unchanged, each Protestant group invented its own set of beliefs, even though many beliefs had no historical antecedent. There are now 46,000 Protestant denominations, each with their own set of unique beliefs, everything from snake handlers, to groups that believe Jesus already returned from the dead but we missed him, to fundamentalists, to people who believe in predestination, to people with relatively logical and sophisticated beliefs. The cause was corruption and sin in the Church, the solution was not to fix the sin but rather to start over from scratch and ignore thousands of years of learning. This schism is more difficult because Protestantism is a moving target. It doesn't have very many specific beliefs that are held by everyone and so little to hold it in one place. Further, Protestants broke the apostolic succession (see Acts 1:46) and so their ministers have no connection by ordination to the apostles. Anyone can be a Protestant minister. In a technical sense, they cannot properly be called Churches though the Orthodox most certainly are Churches. By breaking with the apostles and inventing their own faith, they lose that connection with the apostles that make them a Church. They still are members of the Church by viritue of the baptism, but they are not organized like a Church, using first and second century ideas and definitions.

Answer 2

I believe you mean the Catholic-Orthodox schism of 1054 and the Catholic-Protestant schism in the 14th century (Martin Luther).
There are some other questions on Yahoo!Answers that address the first one (seach questions for "orthodox").
But, basically, the pope is a bishop and wanted to be in charge of the church. But the other bishops said, 'No, Christ is the head of the Church.'
The Filioque was added to the Nicene Creed by the Catholics and seems to play down the Holy Spirit in the Holy Trinity.

The second one was when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door and left the Catholic church.

Are you particular you probably did not ask this with a view to get a rant from Zena E.I merely the day previous study 2 diverse Greek Orthodox sites explaining there ideals. After analyzing them there is little doubt and any guy or woman who reads there internet site and teachings could agree Zena E is a thorough. the variations got here approximately greater over use of there respective languages and way of existence than genuine theological variations. yet there are variations tho particularly minor and can be over come and if the two great church homes have been to be one returned there is no intense difference that could alter the certainty of the two. that's one occasion they the Orthodox do not instruct in a Purgatory as Catholics are conscious of it yet they do instruct that one would desire to choose for the ineffective even those in Hell to make there time greater tolerable until the final Judgment. Catholics instruct Purgatory is the place those nonetheless unworthy of Gods presence and nonetheless have the stains of sin to pay for do so in Purgatory which Paul describes simply by fact the hearth of purification and we Catholics are to prefer to make there time there greater ordinary or waiting to bypass away it quicker. that's talked approximately as between the two as same variations.yet another minor difference is a Orthodox Priest can exchange right into a married Priest if Married earlier transforming into a member of the priest hood yet as quickly as a clergyman would desire to stay Celibate and there Bishops would desire to be Celibate,the Catholic Church self-discipline is what all of us be responsive to interior the western international as strictly a Celibate Priesthood different than specifically circumstances including a Married Lutheran Pastor Joins the Catholic Church and is often used into the Priesthood. additionally interior the Orthodox Church while a toddler is Baptized they are immersed thrice and are shown on the Baptism,the Catholic Church Baptism would properly be the two by immersion or pouring and often by pouring and confirmation comes at a later age after training interior the religion. the two have valid hundreds and Priesthood. We evaluate the Pope to be head of Christ Church they instruct he's in primacy yet purely first between equals. So opposite to Zena E and her anti Catholic rants the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox and the Pope have been working jointly for unification yet taking it slowly with a view to iron accessible variations with truthful wisdom. i'm hoping this helps you be responsive to the way rather little variations there are between the two.

Answer 4

Are you comparing Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Catholic Churches?

"Catholic - derived, through Latin, from the Greek adjective καθολικός, meaning "general", "universal" (cf. Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, A Greek-English Lexicon) -

In common parlance the term most often refers to the members, beliefs, and practices of the Catholic Church (Roman Catholic Church) that is in full communion with the Pope (Bishop of Rome). It comprises the Latin Rite and twenty-two Eastern Rite Catholic Churches. The Eastern Catholic particular Churches include the Ukrainian, Greek, Greek Melkite, Maronite, Ruthenian Byzantine, Coptic Catholic, Syro-Malabar, Syro-Malankara, Chaldean, and Ethiopic Rites.

The Eastern Orthodox Church also identifies as Catholic, as in the title of The Longer Catechism of the Orthodox, Catholic, Eastern Church."

Answer 5

What's a Catholic Protestant? I'm Catholic, I was raised that way. I got my First Communion, First Reconciliation but my parents stopped before my Confirmation.

I plan on finishing the sacraments when I'm older.

Answer 6

No such thing as a Catholid Protestant. You need to talk to a Catholic Priest then talk to the Protestant. Doesn't sound like you're ready for either.

Answer 7

I have never heard of a Catholic Protestant. Protestantism is about protesting the Catholic church and forming other religions.
It would be a contradiction in terms.
