What does Catholics and Christians have in common?

Answer 1

They both worship the same God. It would be easier to tell you the differences. - Catholics worship on Sunday whereas some Protestants worship on Saturday - Catholics look up to saints whereas Protestants see saints as equal to any other person before God - Protestants completely follow scripture Other than that they are fairly similar

Answer 2

Catholic AnswerVery little outside of superficial things. Of all the protestant churches that left the Church and formed their own "churches", the Anglicans probably stayed closest in outward form, but that is all. The Anglican and Catholic Church have many similarities in superficial things, they both have an altar, kneelers. The Anglicans call their ministers Bishops, priests, and deacons. They use similar vestments, etc. And, superficially, it might look like their doctrine is similar, but beyond that there is very little in common. At that point, they actually have more in common with other mainline Protestant Churches.

The Church of Christ

The visible religious society, distinct from the Synagogue, instituted directly by Christ, under one head, St. Peter and his successors, the popes, for the purpose of preserving and propagated his teaching, and of safeguarding and using the same means of salvation (sacrifice and sacraments). It has certain marks (unity, holiness, catholicity, and apostolicity) by which it can be know. It enjoys the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and Christ has promised to be with it "all days, even to the consummation of the world" (Matt. 28:20), so that it is indefectible. He has commanded all men to join the Church, which is the one ark of salvation for all.

Anglicanism

I. The body of Protestant episcopal churches deriving from and in communion with the Church of England, including the churches of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the United States, South Africa, etc. with their missions and dependencies.

ii. The system of faith and morals professed by these bodies. These it is impossible to summarize owing to the diversity of belief and (to a lesser degree) of conduct taught, permitted, and tolerated in Anglicanism. From the definite "romanizing" of a section of the high-church party to the extreme liberalism of certain dignitaries and professors, many varieties of Christian thought can be found. They are usually very roughly classified as high-church, broad-church, and low-church; but, as Father Humphry Johnson has justly observed, there exists within the Church of England "a larger and more important party than any of these, though a less articulate one. This party serves as a cement between the others." According to the official Book of Common Prayer the articles of the three creeds are to be believed; The Bible contains all things necessary to salvation; Purgatory, indulgences, veneration of images and relics, and the invocation of saints are "vainly invented" and "repugnant to the word of God"; two sacraments necessary for salvation were ordained by Christ, Baptism and the Supper of the Lord; transubstantiation "is repugnant to the plain words of Scripture"; the "sacrifices of Masses . . . were blasphemous fables and dangerous deceits"; "the Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in this realm of England," etc. These still represent the belief of many Anglicans.

AnswerAnglican and Catholic churches have a lot in common, but they have different details. Both churches teach the same story, about Jesus and God's love, but there are some differences in the WAY they teach it. A long time ago there wasn't an Anglican Church or Catholic Church. It was just "the church." Both over time, there were some arguments about small things, like whether to do this or that, or keep this, or get rid of that. Then churches split up and you will find that each kind of church is good, but each one is a bit different from the other ones.

Answer 3

They both believe in one God as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. They both believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins on a cross, rose again from the dead, and ascended into heaven. They both believe in the necessity of baptism and that it is important that Jesus is an important part of one's life. Basically, they are both Christians.

Answer 4

They are both Christian and worship the Lord. (Though Protestants strictly worship the Lord, Catholics worship various Christ ian figure heads, including the Lord GOD.)

Answer 5

Roman Catholic AnswerCatholics are Christians. They can't have anything "in common" because they are the same thing.

Answer 6

They both worship God , but the Catholics give more importance to Mary then Jesus.
