I think its different bcuz that praying to Mother Mary and She is not God. I think it is a kind of false idol worship.
But im not a judge.

You and your example of Christian hatred and bigotry are real nice.
The implied superiority complexes hate yet.
Check the find button. This has been asked many times.
I was raised Catholic (not more), and holy crap do other denominations who have a sure hate to hang on to them.
The casual indifference to the Catholic Church has for his brand of zombie-cult is something that can be learned.

I was not just a picture.
All Catholics are Christians. Not all Christians are Catholics.
1. Non-Catholics pray to Mary. Showing their great ignorance that single statement, and listening to the Protestant propaganda instead of seeking their own knowledge.
2. Before the Protestant Reformation, Christians were just Catholics.
3. The Protestant Bible is identical is identical to the Catholic, except that it excludes the deuterocanonical books whose authenticity was questioned by the Jewish authorities. The Catholic Church chose to keep their value because of instruction on moral issues.
4. I feel very sorry for your church has chosen to dismiss 1400 years of tradition that puts the Church of Christ in its historical context. The Protestant Reformation was correct in his analysis of certain religious practices that have become corrupt and needed reform, but the rejection of the entire history of the tradition of Christianity, especially the primacy of the pope conferred upon Peter and his successors, I fear which has thrown the baby with the bathwater.

Catholicism is Christianity. All other Christian religions broke from the Catholic religion long ago. Now this does not mean that any of them less Christian then the other, is simply the reason why some people think that is the same.
View all started with a man named Martin Luther (not Martin Luther King Jr said that I have a dream, but one of Martin Luther). Noticed a lot of ills and problems within the church, which has led to the creation of the Lutheran religion. This happened after award others followed the example of the creation of many Christian religions.
Think of it this way, the leader of their religion (in fact I do not know), but I know that the Pope is Catholic.
Now, if you want to get real technical, Catholics and Muslims broke the Jews, and to create something different then the Jews did.

There are differences, but we are still Christians. You are a Protestant, I am Catholic. Both Protestants and Catholics are part of Christendom. In fact, Catholics were the first Christians. In any case, the Protestants, to be non-Christians. Who are Christians, but if I were to say that Christians are not Catholics.
Who clearly know nothing of the Catholic faith, for his clarity of thought that the cult of Mary.

There are huge differences between Christianity and Catholicism? And there are also many similarities. In my opinion, the Catholic Religion bases many of its laws and beliefs of the 6 books that are not in the Bible and serving the Old Testament more than what they see in Christianity. But there are also many Christians in the Catholic religion, as many feel the same way as I do, and leaving the Catholic Religion as individuals.

For me, belief in the Christian God = Christianity, no matter how you slice it.
Protestants, Baptists, Episcopalians, Lutherans and Catholics are the same for me. You all believe in God does not exist. His argument is trying to make me understand that his imaginary friend is totally different from your neighbor's imaginary friend, when in fact they are both imaginary, and therefore cares?

Catholicism is Christianity and in honor of Mary in the Bible. Try looking in the Gospel of Luke. Not in honor of Mary began after the start of reform. Martin Luther died with a rosary in his hand. There is some truth to yourself even if your only comment beliefs dating back 400 years Catholic Christianity dates back to almost 2,000. Perhaps we were not the same religion.
Think about it and start reading about the history of the Church. I look forward to welcoming you to the Catholic Church.

There are many differences between what Christians and Catholic Christians believe what Christians believe.
However, you should ask this. About 75 to 80 percent of people in the U.S. say they are Christian. If that is true, this nation is getting closer to God, not farther away. This nation would get better and not worse.
What we are saying is that most so-called Christians are Christians in this nation of words, but their hearts are far from God.
Now, back to the issue of hand. Catholics believe, once baptized in the church who are Christians.
The true faith or true Christians believe that a man must be born again to enter the kingdom of God.
I have asked this question many Catholics about being born again. Can describe, but still can not understand it.
That get caught in what the church believes as a Christian and ignore what the Word of God says that being a Christian.

Catholic Christians are faithful to the Church founded by Christ and the apostles. It is the Church of Christ with the promise of a Church which can never bear to fall into apostasy. It is said in Scripture that the Church, the Catholic Church is the pillar and ground of truth.
Protestant Christians and other non-Catholic Christians attend churches that are man-made and are in protest of the Church founded by Christ and the apostles. Contain some truth mixed in with their doctrines of men, but lack the fullness of truth contained in His Church.
Protestant Christians make the same mistake as the Jews and Muslims. They want a religion of the book. In fact, real Christianity is a religion of the Word and the Word is Jesus Christ, who lived life instead of writing a book.
As Jews, Muslims, Protestants and Christians have learned, people can read a book all you please. The teachings of the Word of God has entrusted to a living Church, the faithful Christians who proclaim the Word in ever new words and to say no to the false teachings of the revisionists.
Some Protestants - particularly evangelical or fundamentalist types - seem to enjoy the dissemination of falsehoods about the Catholics.
