Live your life, pray for him. Why is catholic bad, there are catholics who are christians. Not all people who go to other churchs are christians. Do you know what you believe, if so tell him, but understand that if he does come around to think differently it may not be for a long time, & it is not your decision it is his, let him make it by himself, words are not enough, people need to see your life & the way you are constantly growing towards God throughout your life. Hopefully at some point they get it. But in the end it's between them & God.

Roman Catholicism is #1 in the major branch of Christianity



Christianity began in the 1st century AD as a Jewish sect, and shares many religious texts with Judaism, specifically the Hebrew Bible, known to Christians as the Old Testament (see Judeo-Christian).

There is a diversity of doctrines and practices among groups calling themselves Christian. These groups are sometimes classified under denominations, though for theological reasons many groups reject this classification system.Christianity may be broadly represented as being divided into three main groupings:

1) Roman Catholicism: The Roman Catholic Church, the largest single body, includes the Latin Rite and totals more than 1 billion baptized members.

2) Eastern Christianity: Eastern Orthodox Churches, Oriental Orthodox Churches, the 100,000 member Assyrian Church of the East, and others with a combined membership of more than 300 million baptized members.

3) Protestantism: Groups such as Anglicans, Lutherans, Reformed/Presbyterians, Congregational/United Church of Christ, Evangelical, Charismatic, Baptists, Methodists, Nazarenes, Anabaptists, Seventh-day Adventists and Pentecostals. The oldest of these separated from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century Protestant Reformation, followed in many cases by further divisions.

Estimates of the total number of
Protestants are very uncertain, partly because of the difficulty in determining which denominations should be placed in this category, but it seems to be unquestionable that Protestantism is the second major branch of Christianity (after Roman Catholicism) in number of followers.

By reminding them that God is God.
Who are we to say who, or what God is?
There is no God exclusive to the Christians, or the Jews, or the Muslims, or the Hindus... if that were so - what an insane and lonely world we would have!

Religion is about Faith. And Faith is about understanding, tolerance, love and spirituality. This is found in all religions.

So don't make divisions! Focus on the Oneness of God, and the Oneness of ALL His creation.
And from there will ALL the mysteries of God unravel themselves before you!

The Bhagavad Gita (Hindu Bible) says:
"And know, Arjuna, that I am the seed of all things that are; and that no being that moves or moves not can ever be without me.

There is no end of my divine greatness, Arjuna. What I have spoken here to thee shows only a small part of my Infinity.

Know thou that whatever is beautiful and good, whatever has glory and power is only a portion of my own radiance.

But of what help is it to thee to know this diversity? Know that with one single fraction of my Being I pervade and support the Universe, and know that I AM."

*Nothing, we don't want to hear, most of us have been there and done that, and left on our own free will.*
