Protestant and catholicism?

Question

I need to know some differentences beteween the two.Also I need some facts about protestant religon

Answer 1

"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 2

For a long time all were catholic. The Pope was the head of the church. Then in the years around l485, Luther had a falling out with the church. He was excommunicated and started the Lutheran church. That was the first split. Protestants were those who protested against the Pope or and the church practices and or teachings. Differences between the two camps. A lot. In doctrine, in dogma, in ritual, in church leadership. The biggest might me Transubstantiation. That you can look up for your self. I hope this has helped a bit. The subject is big and fascinating.

Answer 3

Protestants and catholics use different bibles; that is the catholic bible has books in it that the Protestant bible does not. Protestants don't put as much emphasis on Mary and we don't baptize our children when they are born, because we want it to be their choice. There are 3 main translations of the protestant bible, the king james version (KJV), new international version (NIV) and the new american standard bible (NASB). The protestant religion gets much of its theological roots from Martin Luther's 95 theses.

Answer 4

Main difference, protestant do not recognize the authority of the Pope.
Catholics do recognize the authority of the Pope.

Answer 5

Protestants resisted the catholics, who were trying to convert everyone to catholicism by any means they had. Catholics were the ones who initiated the Spanish Inquisition which claimed the lives of 10 times the amount of innocent God fearing individuals that the Halocaust claimed, simply because people refused to call the pope their saviour. It was the protestants who fled to America to escape catholic control and worship what and how they wished. F*CK CATHOLICS!

Answer 6

One difference is that Catholics believe in the idea of original sin, meaning you are born a sinner. Protestants do not.
