What is the difference between a Protestant and Catholic?
In my history class, we now find ourselves in most of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. I think Protestants are divided into some groups that are Methodist, Presbyterian, etc., but I really have idea to know for sure because I'm Hindu. So my question is really what is different between a Catholic and a Protestant believer?
- Any other Catholic, not Protestant, Old Fashioned Bible, fundamentalists out tonight?
- What most Protestants know that the first Protestant was a Catholic priest with a strong devotion to Mary?
- Explain the difference between Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant Christianity?
- Protestant or Catholic What is the difference?
- How does the Catholic religion to the Protestant Reformation link?
Protestantism refers to the forms of Christian faith and practice that originated in the 16th century Protestant Reformation. Protestant doctrine, also known in continental European traditions as Evangelical doctrine, in opposition to the Catholic religion. In general, argues that Scripture (rather than tradition or ecclesiastic interpretation of Scripture) is the only source of revealed truth.
The Roman Catholic Church, more correctly called and the Catholic Church (Latin: Ecclesia Catholica) is the world's largest Christian Church, which represents more than half of all Christians and one sixth of the population of the world. It consists of a Western church (the latin rite) and twenty-two Eastern Catholic churches, all in 2782 is divided. The Church hopes that the pope, now Benedict XVI, as its highest earthly authority in matters of faith, morals and church governance. The community consists of an ordained ministry and lay members of either group may belong to organized religious communities.
The Catholic Church defines its mission of spreading the message of Jesus Christ, administering the sacraments and the exercise of charity. That operates social programs and institutions throughout the world, including schools, universities, hospitals, missions and shelters, as well as organizations such as Catholic Relief Services, Caritas Internationalis and Catholic Charities that help the poor families, the elderly and the sick.
The Church and many historians believe it is the continuation, through apostolic succession of the Christian community founded by Jesus in his consecration of Saint Peter. Has defined its doctrines through various ecumenical councils, following the example of the first Apostles in the Council of Jerusalem. On the basis of promises that Jesus gave to his apostles, is believed to be guided by the Holy Spirit and so protected from falling into doctrinal error. Catholic beliefs are based on the Bible and the traditions are passed from the time of the Apostles, which are interpreted by an education authority. These beliefs are summarized in the Nicene Creed and formally described in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Católico formal worship, known as the liturgy, the Church is governed by the authority. The Eucharist, one of seven Church sacraments and a key part of every Catholic Mass, is the center of Catholic worship.
With a history that spans nearly two thousand years, the Church is one of the oldest in the world, and has played a prominent role in the history of Western civilization since at least the 4th century. In the 11th century, the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Western, Catholic Church split, largely over disagreements regarding papal primacy. Eastern Churches, which maintained (or later re-established) communion with Rome of the Eastern Catholic Churches. In the 16th century, partly in response to the Protestant Reformation, the Church was involved in a major process of reform and renewal, known as the Counter Reformation.
The Catholic Church says it is "one holy catholic and apostolic Church" founded by Jesus, but acknowledges that the Holy Spirit can make use of other Christian communities for people to salvation. The Church teaches that is called by the Holy Spirit to work for unity among all Christians to a movement known as ecumenism. Modern Challenges of the Church include the rise of secularism and opposition to his pro-life position on abortion, contraception and euthanasia.
Quite a few things, but varies depending on the denomination who are Protestant (the group). Here are some more important, though ..
Over all Protestants believe that salvation (going to heaven) is granted by faith that Jesus lived and died for the sins out alone. Catholics believe salvation is obtained through baptism, faith, and following the commandments.
Catholics also believe that there is a place called purgatory. This is a place where people die in a state of grace are pure enough for heaven, but most do not prostestants.
These are the two main differences …
- In favor of the Protestants: a Protestant church is guided by a pastor who is a good and intelligent man who has a family … This is really good, because a good shepherd must also prove to be able to cure his own family … so the church is certainly better …
- In favor of the Catholic devotion to the Holy Mother … and other water … things …
Catholic refers to the name "Roman Catholic". In other words, the churches united in a union with the pope, the bishop of Rome. Overall, there is a big fence. On one side is the Catholic Church. On the other side are the Protestant churches, and not all are of a "taste."
The word "catholic" (small "c") can be used as an adjective, meaning "whole world" or "universal", as in the phrase of the creed of the Catholic church: "one, holy, catholic and apostolic church. "
"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):
Only by grace, faith in Christ in the saving work and not for 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 . http:/ / http://www. vatican.va / roman_curia / pontificated …
There are many minor doctrine issues and some major cultural traditional differences which, in my opinion, it does not matter 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 Church and Pope Benedict XVI is Peter's direct successor.

With love in Christ.
Listen to the Pope to Catholics, Protestants no ….
That practically sums it up - Protestants reject the practices of Catholicism.
Protestants do not have a person you have to report (a pope).
Roman Catholics teach that wrote the Bible and therefore claim that only they can tell you what it means to maintain and change meaning over the centuries. Each time you change what they say the Bible says that puts money in the pockets of their "church."
Catholics teach that salvation comes through a combination of faith over works.
Martin Luther and other Christians Believing Bible teaches that God wrote the Bible and we must follow and not man made rules made by the Pope or any other religious leader.
Martin Luther were the two most famous lines:
Sola Scriptura - which is Latin for "only the Bible"
and
Sola Fide - which is Latin for "Faith alone"
Martin Luther and the Bible Believing Christians (Protestant) teaches that we are saved by grace through faith, not works ", which is exactly what the Bible says in Ephesians 2:8-9
Here is a new part of teaching of John MacArthur, pastor of a large church in Southern California to explain what is wrong in his opinion, with the Roman Catholic Church and the Pope.
