Default Re: Differences between the Christian Faiths?

I think its a two part question. It makes more sense to compare Catholicism and Protestant, than Catholicism with Baptist and Presbyterians as you mentioned. The two latter are Protestant sects which where created with Martin Luther and his followers broke off from Catholicism due to disagreements with practices, for example the exhaultation of Mary and saints and the use of statues which were believed to be false idols as well as the crucifix.

Most protestant religions have the charismatic attitude Crabbok described in services, their difference are more practical such as the baptism practices in the Baptist sect. Pentecostals are known for the speaking of tongues, etc.

Raised Protestant and going to catholic school for 13 years ive had a pretty diverse look at most christian religions. I was Raised A.M.E Zion, but ive been to an assortment of different protestant churches with family and ive found them all extremely similar. I also went to Catholic school so i attended Roman Catholic mass and most of my friends are R.C.

Catholicism has more old testament books than the protestant bible as well.
