The main difference is that the Catholic Church has a lot more bright colours, whereas the Protestants are more bland.
The cross in a Catholic Church is usually a crucifix, whereas the cross in a Protestant church is just a plain cross.
The Reformed Church is Protestant, I believe.
From a Catholic point of view: there really isn't a difference between the members of the Church of England (Anglican or Episcopalian) or Protestants because all Churches who broke from Rome during the Reformation are considered Protestant since they "protested" the Roman Church. However, the Church of England considers themselves to be "quasi-Protestant" a somewhat cross section of both Protestantism and Catholicism since they still somewhat retained a few Catholic traditions and views, but are separate from the Roman Church. There are differences between Anglicans/Episcopalians and other Protestants, but the Anglicans are still considered Protestant by the Roman Catholic Church.
The main reason the Protestant religion was formed was because people were tired of the Catholic church's overbearing laws. A group eventually protested and broke away from the church forming the Protestant church.
No. The Protestant Church began as a division away from Roman Catholic Church in the 14th century. The central ideas of the churches are similar, but the Protestant Church has altered the original Catholic Bible and disagrees with some Catholic ideas, such as confession.
The Protestant church separated from the Catholic church during the Renaissance.
No.AnswerIf you mean 'catholic' with a small 'c', then yes. the word 'catholic' simply means 'universal' and so the Protestant Church is part of the universal Christian Church worldwide. If you mean 'Catholic' with a large 'C' - this usually refers to the Roman Catholic Church and, though the Protestant Church is part of the catholic (universal) church, it is not part of the Catholic (Roman Cattholic) church as this is a separate denomination.
The Catholic Church is under the direction of a pope. Protestants are not. Catholics believe the Eucharist to be the actual body and blood of Christ, as opposed to being a symbol. There are other differences, but these are the main ones.
First off, it's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. . Secondly, Martin Luther never started a movement to reform the Catholic Church, Martin Luther LEFT the Catholic Church to start his own Church. Which is a completely different thing. That is commonly mislabeled as the protestant reformation, Catholics refer to it as the protestant revolt.
All Protestant denominations had their origins in the Catholic Church. Some of them broke directly from the Catholic Church, such as Anglicans and Lutherans. Others eventually split from the original Protestant denominations such as the Baptists, Puritans (Congregationalists), Methodists, etc., to form their own sects. The Orthodox Churches were part of the original Catholic Church but split with them in the Great Schism of 1054 due to doctrinal differences. However, members of the Orthodox Churches are not considered as Protestant denominations.
The Protestant denominations are Christians churches that have separated from the Catholic church in protest over theological interpretations or polices of the Catholic church that they believe to be incorrect.All Protestants are Christian, but not all Christians are Protestant.
