How does the Christian religion differ from the Catholic?
Roman Catholic AnswerYour question makes no sense, the Catholic IS the Christian religion, they are the same thing. Our separated brethern (the protestants) sometimes use the word, "Christian" to mean "not Catholic". This is beyond ridiculous, and rather bigoted.
Do Catholics and Protestants use the New Jerusalem Bible?
AnswerThe New Jerusalem Bible was written for Catholics and contains the Catholic deuterocanonical books and sections. There is no reason Protestants should not use this Bible, but they are unlikely to do so.
What religion do they use in Uruguay?

What is a synonym for baptism?
Primarily Protestants use the term 'christening' as a synonym for Baptism. It is rarely heard in proper Catholic circles.
Do Christians use any equipment to pray?
Christians do not require any "equipment" when praying. However, some Catholic Christians use the rosary. Both Catholic and Orthodox Christians are more likely than Protestants to use visual representations of Jesus and the saints in their worship, although Protestants often have an (empty) cross in their places of worship as a symbol of Jesus' death and resurrection.
Why do Protestants continue to call the Catholic Church by the name Roman Catholic Church even though Catholics consider this a religious slur?
To differentiate between Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Assyrian Church of the East one would use Roman Catholic.
Do Catholics preach the fear of God as protestants do?
I kind of doubt that Catholics preach anything the way that protestants do, I was raised a protestant, I have many good friends that are protestants (including some who are pastors of their Churches), and protestants use the same words that Catholics do but with totally different meanings. I was in the seminary as a young man, I hadn't been Catholic all that long, and I had a horrible time of it because they were using the same words that were familiar to me, but they meant totally different things. The fear of God in the Catholic Church is a GIFT of the Holy Spirit that you receive especially in Confirmation. The fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom, the fear of God is something we should all be able to understand, it is the same fear that you have born of the love of your parents when you fear that you are going to disappoint them, when you fear that you haven't lived up to the love they have showered on you your entire life.
The use of stautes in Catholic and protestant?
In the Catholic church, statues of saints are used as articles of devotion. Catholics regular kneel before statues and pray for the intercession of the saints they depict. Protestants do not pray to saints and do not kneel to statues.
What is in the Orthodox Bible?
Orthodox Christians use the same Bible as Catholics, Protestants, and most other Christian denominations.
What are the English translations of the Bible that are accepted by the Catholics or Protestants or both?
The RSV, the Catholic version being the rsv-ce (catholic edition). This is the primary English Catholic translation. Another accepted is the older Douay-Rheims (1609). For Protestants, there is no real set upon translations. Some churches still prefer to only use the King James Version (the AV) , or the New King James Versions, others prefer to use the NASB, or the NIV. There are a hundered other English Translations but these listed are among the most popular to use in Protestant Churches.
Is it possible to be a Christian and Catholic in one religion?
Roman Catholic AnswerActually it is really not possible to be anything other than Christian and Catholic, except that in the modern world, protestants have taken over the word, Christian, and use it to exclude Catholics. But for fifteen centuries there was nothing else. Since that time, the Church has found that one can be a Christian and not Catholic, if you are validly baptized and profess the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation. In that case you would be a Christian but in schism. The word Christian as used by the protestants is basically meaningless.
Did Catholic create Christian?
Not real sure what you are asking here, as Catholic and Christian mean the same thing, although many in the modern world use Christian to mean something other than Catholic. In its original meaning, Catholic and Christian are identical, so one did not create the other. If you are asking about protestants, when you use the word, Christian, then, no, certainly not, as protestantism is a heresy which has been condemned by the Church in no uncertain terms. If you are using "Christian" in that sense, then the answer is "no", they created themselves as apart from Christ's church and in making their own church are trying to appropriate the word Christian to themselves.
