The difference between Catholicism and Christianity

Catholicism and Christianity are the only true gods who only believe in the Trinity.

Catholicism respects the virgin Mary, angels and saints at the same time Just proper respect, of course.

Christianity believes that angels and saints are sinners like themselves, and there is no need to ask them to turn to the Lord.

Catholicism believes that besides the Bible, there are biographies, because the Bible alone cannot completely record all the words and deeds of the Lord.

Christianity believes that only the Bible can be trusted, and there is no authority except the Bible, because the Lord has written all the revelations in the Bible.

Catholicism forbids idolatry, but statues, as a memorial, are not worshipped. This also developed the sculpture industry.

Christianity forbids idolatry and considers statues as idols. Statues are not allowed. But they must put up a cross, or no one will know that they are a church.

According to themselves, Catholicism was founded by Jesus and handed down by the apostles. Later, it split into Catholicism and Orthodox Church in 1054.

On this basis, Christianity split from Catholicism in 15 17.

Catholicism pays attention to collective interpretation of the Bible, that is, to interpret the Bible through collective discussion and interpretation, and then publish the results. So Catholics all over the world have the same understanding of the Bible.

Christianity stresses free interpretation of the Bible, and everyone understands the Bible according to his own ideas. If you think your understanding is correct and different from others', you can create a new sect by yourself. So Christianity is not a religion, but a bunch of sects. According to previous statistics, there are more than 8,000 sects, and their understanding of the Bible is different.

Catholicism stresses holy control and leads from top to bottom. It is a global unified organization.

Christian factions are independent of each other and do not belong to each other.

Catholicism pays attention to faith, love and morality, and believes that people who don't know Jesus can be saved except believing in Jesus, and those who live and act according to Christian standards can also go to heaven.

Christianity emphasizes justification by faith, which means that as long as you believe, you can be saved. If you don't believe it, you will go to hell.

There are seven sacraments in Catholicism, all of which were proclaimed by Jesus.

Christianity recognizes only two of them (some sects recognize only one)

Catholicism has the sacrament of repentance. If a believer commits a crime in behavior, he must go to a priest, let the priest listen to his confession on behalf of God, and then repent. Such confession is effective.

Christianity pays attention to confessing directly to its own Lord. Priests are sinners and cannot represent God.

Catholic bibles are all translated through the original bible (the same is true for Chinese version), which is a form of collective translation. After translation, it has to pass the examination of the Holy See before publication (troublesome).

The Chinese Bible of Christianity is translated from the English version. The English Bible is translated from the Latin Bible, and the Latin Bible is translated from the original text.

The number of biblical chapters is also different between the two sides. At this point, the two sides had a fierce quarrel.

Catholicism believes that there are heaven, hell and purgatory. Some people have committed some minor crimes and can still enter heaven after being purified in purgatory.

Christianity only recognizes heaven and hell. Go straight to heaven or hell, there is no other chance.

Catholic churches are generally gorgeous, ranging from Romanesque to Gothic.

Christian church is simpler, a bit like an auditorium.

The main activity of Catholicism is to hold mass every Sunday. Sacrificing a god is a complicated form, and it takes more than an hour to do it at random. Must be presided over by the priest, the priest's clothes are necessary, and you can't wear them casually. The following parishioners also require that you can't wear shorts and slippers on a hot day.

Christianity is less troublesome, more modern and more flexible. Some sects can be discussed if you like. Therefore, they are called worship or gathering.

There is a painful image of Jesus on the Catholic cross.

There is no cross of Jesus on the Christian cross (some sects do).

Catholicism says that the virgin has no original sin, while Christianity says that the virgin has original sin. The two sides are still arguing over this issue.

The Orthodox Church also believes that the Virgin Mary has no original sin.

There is only one Catholic in the world, and it is the same everywhere.

Christianity must first find out which Sect it is. Some sects refer to each other as heretics, so be careful.
