Christians and Catholics?

😆 😆 😆 😂 😆 droolio

All Catholics are Christians. Not all Christians are Catholics.

Well, Catholics have a valid claim to the origin of their religion, while most Christian sects do not. Oh, and they are both Christian, just some people that believe they "know" what was meant by scripture believe Catholics are not Christians.

by Catholics, you mean Orthodox Christians?

Dont Catholixs Beleive in mary as a god?

No. and its spelled "Catholics".

Ik and some like Hard Core Catholics do, Some lean to christianity

and Catholics beleive you can get into heaven by a slip of paper

I realize that those are Catholics...

Orthodox Christians have a valid claim on the origin of thier religion, not Catholics or protestants.

Originaly the catholic church was the only christian church in the world. When the reformation began people began to break from the catholic church and form protestant christian churchs. As a result some catholics identify as catholic rather then christan.

There are few similaritys between catholics and other christians and just as few between protestant sects.

OTHODOX CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED SO FOR A REASON.

So no, "Originaly the catholic church was the only christian church in the world" is a incorrect.

Roman Catholics are the SECOND of THREE branches of Christianity.

Noting of course that the Roman Catholic Church and the Catholic Church are different entities, despite the fact that most people term Roman Catholics "Catholics."

Catholics formed the first church. Roman Catholics formed the second. Protestants the third.

Alliance is right. Orthodox Christians, are technically, the oldest branch of Christianity. They don't accept the pope for obvious reasosn (Great Schism...etc)

No need to become angry Alliance. I'll admit my mistake RC is the second branch.

How do Catholics and Roman Catholics differ, however? (besides the pope)

The difference between a catholic and a christian, is that the catholics worship saints and christians worship Jesus Christ. The bible says that thou shall not worship any other God besides the lord Jesus Christ. Catholics tend to pray to the virgin mary and the saints for just about any reason.

I'm not an expert on this but I think they use the saints as a conduit to god not as gods in and of themselves

to pray to the virgin mary or a saint for help and guidance is not to worship them.

head out of ass please

Well Catholics are the first branch off paganism and protestants are the shoot off of that one, then the denominations are the little buds of that tree, quite simple actually.........Quite a nice tree of beliefs with only the change in names..
