Well that would depend on who you ask. Some Protestants would consider themselves to be better than Catholics but other Protestants would not. That said, most Protestant churches do believe that their doctrines are better than the doctrines of the Catholic Church. In other words, some Protestants believe that their doctrine is true but the Catholic Church's same doctrine on said topic is false incorrect in a not totally false way so in one sense, some Protestant churches do believe that they are better than Catholic churches but when it comes to individual Protestants versus individual Catholics, it varies from person to person.

Which one is better cristian or Catholic?
Christian is better in my opinion because you have less religious laws . Everything in the Catolic Church has a meaning.And then there are christians they have less religious laws and more freedom.It is just my opinion.. i love youRoman Catholic answer: Catholic IS Christian. The word Christian is used in the present day west by some to distinguish people who believe in Christ but are not Catholics from the Catholics, but this is a misuse of an ancient term. For fifteen centuries the only "Christians" in the world were "Catholics". It is only in the past couple centuries, and only in the western world which was settled by Protestants, that the term has come to be applied by Protestants to Protestants. But be assured that there have been Catholic Christians since the time of Christ. Which one is better would be a very decisive answer. The Church has always held that Protestants have rejected part of Christ's message, and thus cut themselves off from avenues of grace that Christ has established in His Church. Which would obviously mean that being a Catholic Christian was the fullness of believing in God. A protestant who has been taught all his life that the Church is wrong would believe that it was better to be a Christian without involving the "Catholic" part.
What does Protestants do?
Protestants are Christians and there are many different denominations. Some of their beliefs are different from Catholics (most Protestants accept divorce and believe it is acceptable to use Birth Control, for example). In order to better answer this question, we would need to know which denomination you are asking about: Unitarians, for example, are the most liberal of the Protestants and they have religious practices and rituals that are very different from more traditional denominations like Baptists or Episcopalians.
Will Ireland ever be free from British rule?
Not in our life time. The majority of the people in Northern Ireland consider themselves British and therefore they rightly excise their right to remain in the UK. Catholics are also becoming more tolerant to living in UK as they realise they are currently better off within it.

Is the new revised standard bible accepted by protestants or catholics?
Yes, it can be accepted by Protestants or Catholics. Though it is considered gender-inclusive and accused of being "modernist" I don't find the NRSV problematic itself (I'm also talking as a conservative evangelical). Some fundamentalist Protestants will say that the NRSV is a tool of the devil. I object to that sentiment. Though there are some problematic interpretations in the NRSV it is not a bible version that will lead people astray in the faith (unlike the heretical New World Translation). Thus, I would say that the NRSV is acceptable to use for preaching, devotion, and study. However, I would also suggest you check out other better translations like the ESV, NIV, NASB, and HCSB.
Do Catholics get along better with Mormons or protestants?
This really is something that is treated on an individual basis and not the relations between denominations as a whole. The Catholic Church certainly has a right to not approve of Mormons or Protestants, as both claim that the Catholic Church has gone astray. The Catholic Church generally has good relations with other denominations and individual Catholic groups work together with both Protestant and Mormon groups on a regular basis. Whether an individual Catholic prefers the company of Protestants or Mormons would be based on his/her individual personality, as they will have many common beliefs with people from both religions.
Is Cheverlot dealers better than Ford dealers?
Many review companies consider Ford's cars to be better cars, but Chevrolet are just as respected. The dealerships themselves tend to be nicer in the Chevrolet department, but that is up for debate.
Why do protestants not want a united Ireland?
Some people in the North of Ireland, Ulster, want to remain as part of the United Kingdom under British rule. And yes, they have different religious views to the Roman catholics who live there, and these Catholic people see their affinity to the Irish Republic governed from Dublin. Sadly this has led to a protracted period of violence, called the Troubles. The protestant majority (in the north) see the Dublin government as a foreign power. Hopefully power sharing as we seem to have these days has put the Troubles behind us, and the people of Ireland, whatever their religious differences can live together in peace. The Good Friday Agreement between Tony Blair & Bertie Ahern, as well as the Reverend Ian Paisley & Martin McGuinness, appears to have had a very big impact on the Province, and we no longer see the violence from there on our news programmes. I am not saying that everything is sweetness & light, but it is incomparably better now than it once was. Quite why the Irish can play Rugby Union as a united country (& always have) is a moot point ! well they have been under British rule so long they when you are occupied by another country for so long you may like there ways more how run the country things they with the population of the rest of Britain they could have lower taxes more benefits things like that all so by staying in the UK they wont have to pay this huge dept we have
What are the conflicts in Ireland today in 2009 between the Protestants and the Catholics?
There is some progress, there is some friendship between catholics and protestants but some people will refuse to forget about the past, personally I think N. Ireland is a dump, I don't think the conflict between catholics and protestants will ever change, however, it has improved over the years and hopefully will continue to do so.
