Catholics and Protestants all belong to the same category = Christians .. Both are followers of Christ ... It all started out with Roman Catholics then they split due to some conflicts and clash of ideas that's why the term protest(ant) ... Most prob coz Catholics have alot of rules and regulations I think ... In Singapore many ppl always classify it as Catholic vs Christians ... But it is more right to differentiate as Catholics vs Protestants as Catholics are also Christians ...
There are different groups among the protestants ... Such as Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist etc ... Catholic is different as no matter which church you go to in any countries, the Mass ( or something like the protestants' services) is the same ... Just that it may be in a different language ...
Catholics are always mistaken by many others to be worshipping Mother Mary ... But in actual fact Catholics do not worship Mother Mary ... Instead they adore and respect her as she is the Mother of Christ ...
Hmm .. Correct me if i am wrong ya ...
This is what i can briefly remember about the difference ... -

Most of the differences are minor, ie, some disagreement over way to baptise, emphasis in Holy Spirit (speaking in tongues) Pentacostal, roles of women in church Bible Presbyterian
Generally all churches believe in the Trinity (ie Father, Son and Holy Spirit, salvation is free through the work of Jesus Christ in the Cross, personal communion with God etc.
Newer groups, however, are more disturbing. Many operate like Multi Layered Marketing, many too has gone against Biblical teaching by overemphasizing on HEALTH AND WEALTH, and PERSUANCE OF "SPECIAL" GIFTS. Most of these newer groups do not have external "checks and measures" against unorthodox teaching, ie, "chief pastor" is the powerman.
Traditional denomination has higher governing authority eg, bishops, archbishops, regional conference committee, to administer policies and teachings. May be slightly dogmatic but generally safer. -

Catholics are less "charismatic" than Protestants?
-
i dont think this is accurate saying. I have catholic frens who attended Charismatic mass. Christ the King in Ang Mo Kio do have such.Originally posted by Doenitz:Catholics are less "charismatic" than Protestants?
and some churches like the Presbyterians are not at all charismatic? we cannot gauge a denomination by its form of worship. its the beliefs and emphasis.
well..to me...there is no difference among the Protestant denominations. -
since we always see such threads on Catholics VS Protestants..why not each of us post a short post summarising the denomination we belongs to?
The purpose I emphasis here is not to bring out more differences but rather get to understand about other denominations better in terms of church government, form of worship etc... and i still firmly believe that all Protestants denominations are the same. -

The Mary part is right. But it would be better to say that we venerate her rather than adore her. Adoration is reserved for God alone.

many diff: especially doctrinesOriginally posted by Photoshop:What's the difference between the Catholics and Protestants?
most important "protestants"believe only what bible says NO 2 ways about it ....
cath? maybe lots of doctrine that cannot be found in the bible ...
(this my personal opinion only) -
read in my confirmation class that the breakaway from the Catholic church began in the 1500s... when there was a Reformation in Europe. Before the Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church had beome corrupt in many areas of doctrine and practice. Wrong teachings include:
1) salvation through good works
2) purgatory and indulgences
3) praying to the Virgin Mary and the saints
4) transubstantiation - the belief that the bread and wine are Jesus' real body and blood
5) authority of the church placed above the authority of the Bible.
The Reformation was also stimulated by the desire to be free from the political control and dominance of the Pope, to use English rather than Latin in public worship, and to preach the gospel of salvation by faith.
Martin Luther (1483 - 1546) and John Calvin (1509 - 1546) were key figures in the Reformation of the church in Europe. Other influential key people include John Wycliffe, King Henry VIII and Thomas Cranmer.
Hope that info is erm... informative. -

Hi guys,
just joined.. this is my 2 cents worth.
Christians believe in the bible and the bible only. it is called solar scriptura.
Catholcs believe in the bible and church tradition/ instruction that is passed down.
-
actually, i just think ultimately, there is only one God and that is most important.. whether Catholic or Protestant. All so-called differences are man-made... kekeke....
-
yes.
this i know. love God with all your mind, heart, soul and strength. -
wah laoz.. wat's the internet for? use yahoo or google or ask.com!Originally posted by Photoshop:What's the difference between Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist ....... -
i would emphasise more on teachings rather than which denominations r 'right' and which are 'wrong'....
its not religious systems that save you....its ur faith and faith alone.
