Yes.
There are many differences between Catholics and Protestants, and, in fact, many differences between the differing protestant Churches themselves. However, these differences are fairly minor. For example, protestants find the over-veneration of Mary by Catholics as wrong, as is the praying to saints, veneration of relics and so on. Catholics regard the ministry of, say, protestant clergy as invalid as they believe that some protestant churches did not have the original authority to ordain.
But when it boils down to the most important aspects of the Christian faith - those surrounding Jesus Christ himself - such as the total humanity and yet total divinity of Jesus, his life, mission, miracles, teaching, crucifixion, bodily resurrection, ascension and final return as judge, and, of course, the Trinitarian nature of God, all protestants are in agreement with Catholics.
However, when you come to heretical cults like the Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons, then there is a great deal of difference between these groups and the Christian Church worldwide as these groups do not regard Jesus as divine, and, while there are many minor differences in doctrine, there are also fundamental differences - so much that these groups cannot be called Christian in the normal sense.

One thing that the roman catholics and protestants could agree on was?
The belief that Jesus Christ was both divine and human at the same time is one of the things that they were agreed on.
What is the name of the Bible that is not mentioned in the protestants Bible?
The Protestants and Catholics have mostly the same Bible. Most of the books in it are the same except for the Apocrypha. These are about 6-7 books which Catholics have in their Bible. This is the main difference between the two Bibles.
Do Protestants believe that God the Father and Jesus His Son are one in the same person?
No, most Christians (Protestants are Christians also) believe in one God in Three Persons. God the Father, God the Son, (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit. Each Person is God, which makes up the one true God, but each one has a different "job" or ministry to perform.
What are the Differences in culture in Northern Ireland?
*This is generalising* The two main cultural groups in Northern Ireland are Protestants and Catholics Protestants: Political view= unionist/loyalist Nationality= British Catholics; PV= nationalist/republican N= Irish Protestants tend to play rugby, cricket, football Catholics tend to play Gaelic Football and Hurling, Protestants support Glasgow Rangers FC Catholics support Glasgow Celtic FC Protestants vote for DUP & UUP Catholics vote for Sinn Féin & SDLP Protestants live in east Belfast Catholics live in west Belfast Protestants go to state run schools Catholics go to Roman Catholic schools Protestants are in the Orange Order Catholics are in the GAA Protestants celebrate the Orange day (12th July) Catholics celebrate Easter Rising Catholics speak Irish as their 2nd language Protestants speak Ulster-Scots as their 2nd language Protestants wear a poppy to remember their fallen Catholics wear a lily to remember their fallen Protestants regard the IRA as terrorists Catholics regard the IRA as freedom fighters Protestants fly the Union flag Catholics fly the Tri-colour flag Protestants call the 2nd largest city 'Londonderry' Catholics call the city 'Derry' Protestants refer to 'Northern Ireland' Catholics refer to 'the north of Ireland' Catholics eyes are meant to be closer together Protestants say ee-ch for the letter H Catholics say he-ch for the letter H Protestants call Catholics; fenians or taigs Catholics call Protestants huns Protestants see Ian Paisley as their leader for unionism; Catholics see Gerry Adams as their leader for Irish nationalism Protestants read the Newsletter Catholics read the Irish Times Protestants tend to be more right-wing. DUP are anti-same-sex marriage, anti-abortion, conservative Catholics tend to be more left-wing. Sinn Féin are pro-same-sex marriage, pro-abortion, liberal Young Protestants are in flute bands Young Catholics do Irish dancing Protestants see the Queen as their figure head Catholics see the Pope as their figure head Catholics have larger families because of disapproval of contraception. *These are just stereotypes that I have just grown up with and do not apply to the majority of people here. Just a bit of banter.
Why do all Catholics in the world share the same beliefs?
Unlike Protestants, Catholics have a central leadership - the Pope and bishops - who assure we are all share the same beliefs.
Do Protestants consider themselves to be better than Catholics?
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.
What did the catholics and protestants think of Elizabeth making changes?
they thought that it was a good idea but bad at the same time to
What is in the Orthodox Bible?
Orthodox Christians use the same Bible as Catholics, Protestants, and most other Christian denominations.
What has changed between Catholics and protestants?
As the world becomes increasingly more secular and begins to fall apart at a faster and faster pace, I believe that many protestants (I mean those who truly believe in Jesus Christ, and are trying to live a Christian life as opposed to those who are mere cultural Christians because they were brought up that way) are coming to see that Catholics are actually Christians that are trying to live by Christ's teachings (of course the Catholics have the same problem in that huge numbers of them are cultural Catholics and not sincerely convinced Christians). Thus Catholics and protestants have come together to fight the appalling abortion scandal and all the other legalized sins in our society whether it be same-sex "marriage" or any of the other sinful tendencies in our modern society.
You think that protestantism should not be classified as Christian because if they belief some different things than Christians do they should come up with their total own religion?
Protestants are Christian. They believe in Christ the same as Catholics do. Protestants may have some different beliefs but they believe that Jesus is the saviour of the world and that he died and rose from the dead. Christians are people who believe in Christ, therefore Protestants are Christian.
What is the same of catholics and protestant?
Belief in the god of Abraham and the divinity of Jesus Christ.
How did the conflict between the Catholics and protestants change the political views?
That depends on whom you are talking about, for instance in the sixteenth century in the Holy Roman Empire, it was the other way around, the Peace of Westphalia legislated that whatever religion the ruler was, all the people had to be of the same religion. If you are talking about the political problems in Ireland, that was not really a conflict between protestants and Catholics so much as a conflict between native Irish (who all happened to be Catholic) and the invading and conquering English (who all happened to be protestant.)
