What is the difference the Catholic Church and the Protestant 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:/ / 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.

Being Catholic is a Protestant religion, while it is having a true communication with God. A good point is that I realized why Catholics are not encouraged to read the Scriptures, who do not want you to know the truth.

Catholic Church founded by Christ.
* You can track all the bishops back to the original line of the Apostles. No other Church can do.
* We believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. In other words, when the priest consecrates bread and wine becomes the literal and become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.
* We believe in the saints ask (people in heaven) to pray for us. We ask you to join our prayers and our prayers to Christ.
* We believe in the trinity-3 persons in 1 God. Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
* We believe that the Pope, as Bishop of Rome, is the successor of St. Peter the first Pope and Bishop of Rome, which was given the keys of Heaven and Earth by Christ.
* We continue to be both sacred Scripture and tradition.
* We believe that we need both faith and works.
* We believe in Immaculute Concepción, ie, God made stain of original sin of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Since I was born without sin, she did not die, but it is assumed body and soul in Heaven for his son.
All that the Catholic Church believes that it is directly or indirectly in the Holy Scripture. We only worship the trinity, not the BVM, not the Saints. We revere them, or remember with particular affection, as would a family member because we are all part of the mystical body of Christ.
