Is this the main difference between Catholics and Protestants?

Is the main difference that Catholics believe you need to confess your sins to a priest, whereas Protestants believe that you don’t need to come and confess, God’s lookin’ fo you, He gon find you, He gon find you, so you can run and tell that, run and tell that, run and tell that, homeboy, home home homeboy?

    Catholics worship a god that speaks through the pope, Protestants worship a god that does not, so the main difference is they worship two different gods.

    I think that is more a difference in practice. The real difference as I understand it is the absolute authority of the pope. The protestants stating that absolute authority belongs to teh bible not the pope. Apart from that the differences revolve round how many of the each other they managed to burn, torture and kill.

    Yes, among other things.
    I don’t believe in religion, but I am seen as a evangelical protestant.

    I have a lot of friends who are catholic, and I have attended funeral mass once or twice. To be honest, I feel like having to confess your sins to a priest is taking away the fact that its a personal relationship with God, and we can talk to him whenever we want and not have to go through someone else.

    @wind_rocker
    Same God….just different ways to practice…

    If you look at the history of Christianity….

    … there was only ONE true Christian church for 1000 years.
    Then, in 1054, the Church of Rome (aka the Roman Catholics)
    split from the rest of Christianity
    (what is known today as the Eastern Orthodox church.)
    Roman Catholics have “added” things that weren’t originally there,
    such as the filioque, and papal supremacy.
    Martin Luther started The Reformation,
    and the Protestant Revolution;
    but, rather than return to the “original” Christian church,
    they started new (Protestant) churches…

    Protestants broke away from the Catholic church because they didn’t like some things about it. Catholics are the original church.

  14. dmbarry777 said :

    Yes one of the differences is the idea of confession but I don’t believe its the main difference. Catholics believe that they should go to confession to verbally express their sins. Besides the grace of the sacrament and the guarantee that their sins are forgiven by Christ who acts through the priest, Catholics also feel a natural sense of peace. (Other Christians confess their sins directly to God or Jesus during prayer or meditation).

    Another difference between Protestantism and Catholicism includes celibacy of the clergy, that is that priests cannot be married The defense of a non-married clergy comes from the understanding that Jesus was not married since He dedicated His life solely to God, and sought to teach people the Word of God free of familial obligations. Hence, the Catholic priests of today do not marry so they may dedicate their lives to God and teach people the Word of God. Eastern rite priests, however, can be married before they enter the seminary to become priests.

    Still another difference is in receiving Communion. Catholics are offered Communion at every Mass. The idea being that, as human beings, we can receive the body and blood of Christ and the strength it gives to live a Christian life.
    (Other Christian Denominations may offer communion once a month or on major christian holidays like Easter and Christmas.)

    Christians believe in the virgin Mary, although Catholics believe in her own immaculate conception and sinless life, which was thought up a few hundred years after the bible was written, and has no real basis in the bible. Catholics also believe that Mary is the mother of the Church, and that there are certain rituals (for want of a better word) that a person must go through before marriage and stuff, which other denominations don’t really have.
