How do Roman Catholics differ from other Christians?
They have an official church structure that differs from other Christian religions. The Pope is the head, elected by a layer of Cardinals, who are elected by layers of Bishops and Archbishops, who are elected by priests, who are elected by parishes. Roman Catholic priests are allegedly celibate men. The Roman Catholic Church opposes most forms of birth control, and divorce. The Roman Catholic church also differs significantly in the importance they place in traditions of the church over against scripture. They give the former almost equal or in some cases greater importance, as they hold that they are the determiners of what is scripture and also its only rightful interpreters. Most other churches do not so elevate the traditions of men which they see as fallible over against the infallible word of God as the norm for all Christian life and teaching.

Protestantism has its origins when Pope Leo X (1513-21) excommunicated a troublesome priest called Martin Luther. Luther's initial aim had been simply to reform the use of indulgences. There was to be no compromise and in 1521, in Wittenberg's St Mary's Church, the first Protestant communion was celebrated. There were other Protestants before Martin Luther, such as Peter Waldo, John Wycliffe, and John Huss, and the churches that grew from the teachings of these men. All three of these men lived before the time of Martin Luther.
