The Methodist movement resulted from the machinations of one John Wesley who apparently felt the other movements were off track so he built his own, adopting Protestant basics as the primary vehicle. The Catholics came about through the efforts of Emperor Constantine, when he married a faction of the perverted true church and the idolatry of the Roman people and all the trappings, creating a socio-political organization without peer. Methodists do recognize God as supreme. The Catholic also do but are still lugging idolatry baggage in the form of saints, Mary etc.
Answer # 2The person who answered above is ignorant of Christianity's history and about Catholics in general. The major difference is that the Methodist Religion is a protestant religion so they do not follow the pope in Rome as their spiritual leader. While the Catholics follow the pope as their spiritual leader. The speaker above is incorrect when saying that Constantine "married a faction of the perverted true church and the idolatry of the Roman people and all the trappings, creating a socio-political organization without peer." Constantine only made Christianity legal in ancient Rome. He did not try to combine the ancient Roman religion with Christianity at all. In addition, Catholics do not worship Mary and the saints, though they do ask them for guidance towards God. Catholics are Christians and so are Methodist; they only worship God. Today, you can find Catholics all around the world and it is the largest Christian denomination with a population around 1 billion.The Methodist religion is base on the teachings of an English man name John Wesley. Wesley was an Anglican preacher who started perching in the early 18th century. Methodists recognize two Sacraments baptism and Holy Communion. Catholics recognize seven Sacraments. In addition, Methodists believe in personal salvation; while Catholics believe that the Church and God would lead to salvation. Methodist clergy could marry while Catholic clergy cannot get marry.
I would say that both the Roman Catholic Church and the United Methodist Church have been engaged for many years in ecumenical talks. They do share much in theology and doctrine. One must keep in mind that John Wesley was a "high church" Anglican Priest and strongly believed in celebrating the Eucharist and was very fond of the Book of Common Prayer. Most of the theology of the Methodist Church can be directly traced to the Church of England, which is Catholic in nature not Protestant.
There are some difference between both denominations. The Roman Catholic Church is headed by the Papacy. The RCC believes that the bread and wine are the actually body and blood of Jesus-called transubstantion! The RCC have priests that celebrate the Mass. They incorporate a greater amount of ritual and formality than the United Methodists do. The RCC is far more conservative on social issue than the Methodists, like abortion and sexual orientation. The United Methodists celebrate 2 sacraments as the Lutherans and Presbyterians:
baptism and Holy Communion. The United Methodist believe that Christ is present during the celebration of the Eucharist. They also share with the RCC the historic creeds, the Nicene and Apostle's creed. Both are not literalists when it comes to the Bible. The RCC and the UMC have been in a dialogue for many years, realizing that both have more similar beliefs than major differences. The UMC shares a strong and historic relationship with the Anglican Church which includes sharing both theological and doctrines of the Church of England. Because of that, it has been relatively easy for the UMC to hold ecumenical talks with the RCC.
Methodists are Protestant. Catholics submit to the Pope, where Protestants don't. Methodists don't have priests--I think they have pastors or ministers. Their ministers can marry, while Catholic priests cannot.
Not many, The Methodist Chuch is considered one of the "Catholic Protestant" churches, along with Lutheranism and Anglicanism. Basically Methodists do not necessarily believe in purgatory, at least in the same way catholics do. Methodists ordain women, Catholics do not. Methodist serve an open table for the Eucharist, Catholics do not. Methodists have two Sacraments: Eucharist & Holy Baptism. Catholcis have seven Sacraments: Eucharist, Holy Baptism, Confession, Penance, Holy Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick (Last Rites). The other Sacraments of the Catholic Church are considered Rites (less important than sacraments, unecessary but encouraged) in the Methodist Church.
Methodists are Protestant and do not recognize the authority of the Pope.

Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is not a denomination. The Catholic Church was started at Pentecost by Jesus sending the Holy Spirit on the Apostles. It has existed as the Bride of Christ through 21 centuries. Jesus, Himself, guaranteed that it would be One, Holy, Apostolic, and Catholic, until the end of time.A denomination, on the other hand, is any protestant group, or derivation from them, that originally broke away from the Church and started their own brand of Christianity. There have only been "denominations" since the 16th century, of which the Methodist are one, albeit one of the originals, from the 16th century.

The "Catholic" Church is the invisible Body of Christ that has existed since God extended grace to sinners : grace extended to the believers in Jehovah's Messiah preceding the Advent of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and to the believers in Jesus Christ --since the Day of Pentecost.

is inclusive of all true believers (including those who are attached to the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic bodies) -- to all who have been born again by the Spirit of God and who are led of Him ( cf. John 3:3,6 ; Rom. 8:9,13,14)
