Quote HistoryQuoted:
Age... Catholicism is the original Christian faith. The catholic church was founded by the Apostles, it's 2000 years old. The archaic doctrine comes from the middle ages, and it seems kind of foreign now I admit. The Lutherans have only been around for about 500 years... kind of a young fledgling religion in the scheme of things. The Eastern Church was the first to split away, that was for purely political reasons. |

Who's the Baptist Pope that declared not to recognize these truths? 
I agree with your points having come the other direction and could probably add a few more points to the list. But I would say that we agree on 95%+ of Christian doctrine beyond those points and still consider Baptists Christians. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This stupidity needs to be knocked down. Catholics honor Mary as the mother of Christ. We do not worship her and would acknowledge that she can do nothing by herself (like you and me) without her son. We ask Mary to pray for us, just like I might ask a friend to pray for me too. |

Some Roman Catholics are real Christians. Some Protestants are real Christians.
Probably the biggest difference in the basic theology is that Catholics follow traditions of their church. For protestants, it is Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone). |

Catholicism places a large emphasis on the Church, Communion of Saints and Tradition as gateways to Jesus. "Christianity" or "Protestant Christianity" focuses on just Jesus.

We have some, such as singing hymns before the preaching, etc. But we do not believe anything because "the church authorities told me too". We have no Pope or group of Cardinals or such things. I believe what I believe because I find it clearly stated in the Bible, God's Perfect Word. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
You don't think Mary was holy?
What are your thoughts on the virgin birth, then? We do not believe that Mary was "Holy". She was a wonderful young woman that God found favor in. He blessed her and allowed her to be the mother of Jesus. But we believe that she was a sinner, just like every other human (except Jesus) that ever lived. The Bible never even hints that she was without sin. The Immaculate Conception is a Catholic tradition. It is not believed by any Protestant denomination. We believe that she was a virgin until she gave birth to Jesus. After that, the Bible teaches that she had other children with Joseph, her husband. We hold her in honor for being the mother of Jesus, but we do not worship or venerate her in any way. She was Saved by Jesus, just like all of us. |

The RCC is the most successful church at changing God's law and word to suit their own needs.
Got rid of the second commandment and changed the fourth. Now most of the Christian world worships on the first day of the week and don't know why it changed. Set up the priests as go betweens between a person and God when Jesus said nobody goes to the Father except thru me. Sets up idols and sometimes worships them. Believe that dead people are immortal and either go to heaven, hell or purgatory when they don't die but don't die.....Bible says nobody is immortal until the second coming. Prays to dead saints to pray to God for them. Thinks men can forgive sins when only God can forgive sins. Thinks the bread and wine are really Jesus' body instead of the symbolism. Bread is the Word and Wine is the blood of Christ that covers our sins. There very well may be more Catholics in heaven than any other group because most of them don't know their Bible's and that is intentional by the church. ymmv |

Christianity is justification through faith alone. Catholicism is justification through works. This is dangerous as many people believe they will access to the father just by doing good things which scripture reveals is false.
