In terms of how they go about interpreting scriptures and their beliefs? And what are some Liberal Protestant denominations that are similar to Catholicism?

Roman Catholics, unlike any Protestant church, accept the authority of the Pope. Catholics also put more emphasis on the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the communion of saints, and believe in the real presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. A liberal Protestant denomination that is fairly close to the Roman Catholic Church in terms of ritual would be the Episcopal Church. However, the Episcopal Church ordains both female and gay clergy, which the Roman Catholic Church does not.

Episcopal is somewhat similar in ritual to Catholicism but not really. I think Anglican is too. But they are still Protestant and that means Mary has been demoted.

it variety of feels that you're turning out to be a lot of very subjective solutions. i am going to attempt to provide a short precis of a few of the variety i comprehend. Eucharist: Catholics (and Orthodox) believe the Jesus is fairly latest interior the bread and wine. maximum, if no longer all, Protestant sects believe it is a symbolic act. Sacraments: Catholics have 7 sacraments. they believe that they convey God's grace to the believer. they are actual indications that impart some thing authentic to those who take area. maximum Protestants have in elementary words Baptism and Lord's Supper (Eucharist). they frequently view them as symbolic acts. Church: Catholics believe that Jesus depending a church to steer his human beings till his go back. they believe that the Pope is the suitable of that body and that the Holy Spirit will handbook him in teaching the individuals in concerns of religion and morals. maximum Protestants be counted on an "invisible" church. community church homes are in elementary words to blame to their very own club. those community congregations are united to different Christians in the course of the international with the help of religion in Jesus yet have many adjustments in interpretation and doctrine. (ok so when I re-study this i think i'm being subjective as well. it is not any longer difficult to inform the position my beliefs fall in this answer. nicely...i tried!)

There is no definition of "Liberal Protestant"
So you cannot make any comparison.
As for the beliefs of Catholics, they are written in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Anyone can read it!
Peace!
