    That's not a very good description most of the protestant churches don't come from Catholicism so much as they are literally a protest against the Catholic church.

    In America most Christians are evangelicals which even further departs from Catholicism.

    ? with your bible thumping rhetoric. Christianity Catholics have been the cause of more deaths than all religions combined and its effects of oppression are still in place today

    Fixed for accuracy.

    Catholics represent a christian denomination so i was right

    Exactly, why are so many Christians here acting like Catholics aren't part of Christianity lol....the first Christian denomination was Catholic and Protestants have a very disgusting history anyway

    Because Catholics are barely Christian why do you think I laugh at you every time you bring up going to Catholic school as proof that you know anything about the Christian theology.

    denominations like Anglican/Episcopal and Lutheran have their basis in Catholicism. its not like they tore up everything about Catholicism and started anew

    and @the_jackal whats your view on orthodox and eastern catholic churches?

    So why single out Catholics then? There are Protestant, Christian denominations that allow ? marriage and even female pastors, despite the Bible being completely against both.

    I wouldn't go that far to say they don't take it seriously because of ? marriage. Unfortunately the way the law and politics are set up it's kind of hard for christians to legally stop ? marriage especially when it has liberal support.

    A lot of that liberal support comes from Christians LOL, you do know that right? The Catholic Church is very against ? marriage, but it's the PROTESTANT denominations that are going H.A.M. for ? marriage these last few years in America and even Europe. CNN even had a report on the Christian PROTESTANT churches that now support ? marriage and all kinds of other stuff not supported by the Bible.

    Anglicans yes but they are small in number always have been especially in the USA. Most christian denomination diverge greatly from Catholicism in practice. The church structure is different and most importantly the theology is different the only that is kept is the basic belief. Catholics and Episcopalians are worlds apart on many issues

    King blaze you a cool guy but I swear we been through why catholics and protestants are vastly different. As far as my views Orthodox church is honestly good I believe. Everyone I visited seemed open and nice but just the whole traditional thing certain songs towards saints and etc I'd off putting. Eastern Roman church is the same pagan nonsense

    You don't understand . a Christian may support a politician for one issue but that politican may hold views that run contrary to how christians feel about another issue. But that first issue will hold more importance to that Christian

    And on top of that their will be some chruches that are outright corrupted but they are still in the minority especially in America. alone the Southern baptist and Catholics rejected ? marriage and they alone make up a large chunk of the Christian population in America

    I can understand "different" but VASTLY different?? The biggest differences are Catholics believe one needs to believe in Jesus AND do good deeds to enter heaven but Protestants believe belief in Jesus is good enough.

    The other differences are pretty small in the grand scheme of things, Catholics and Protestants both believe in the Bible too, so how big are the differences really? If I'm wrong let me know

    Good points but MOST Christians polled support ? marriage in America these days, same thing in Europe. I couldn't imagine most Christians supporting ? marriage back in the 1980s......

    Some Protestant churches are purposefully getting away from the Bible but when you said Catholics and Baptist churches do not support ? marriage, it proves my point that Catholics and Protestants aren't as different as some believe.

    That's not the biggest difference at all . Catholics believe in non human intercession which means they venerated saints and borderline pray to them and angels.

    And even human intercession they give more power than is necessary.

    Not to mention the supremacy of the pope.

    intercession of saints is not worship, just like you might ask someone to pray for you. its also not a solely Catholic practice
