Justify the cruel behavior between Catholics and other Christians?

I can't. Over the centuries, Christians of all persuasions have persecuted those they could dominate. So, the Catholics persecuted the Arians, the Cathars and, where possible, the Protestants. In turn, Protestants persecuted Catholics in those countries where Catholics were in a minority. Protestants even persecuted other Protestants, such as when the Church of England persecuted the Puritans. The only credible explanation is that Christianity contains an element of intolerance that is usually kept hidden.

The pope is the best person to believe what the 'Catholics' should believe but not necessarily what ALL christians should believe. It really is a matter of personal opinion.

What are the different beliefs between Christians and Catholics?
Roman Catholic AnswerThere are none, as Christians are Catholics and vice-versa. There are however some Christians who are not visible members of the Catholic Church. These are people who have received valid baptism and believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation. Someone who has different beliefs from Catholicism is known as a heretic, although if they were raised knowing no better, then the heresy would only be formal; although they were raised believing that they were Christians.

What are the differences between Christianity and protestant?
Christians are Protestants.Roman Catholic AnswerThat is a very interesting question that can not be answered for the simple reason that different people define those words differently. Catholics say that anyone who is validly baptised and professes the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretration is a Christian. At this point in time, that would exclude the vast majority of protestants. Protestants, on the other hand, use the word "Christian" to exclude Catholics, which rather boggles the mind, as there were no other Christians than Catholics for most of the centuries between us and Biblical times.

In the context of Colonial America, although also true in any other context, the difference between Puritan and Catholic Christians can be summarized as follows: As Protestants, the Puritans emphasized the individual's faith-experience and the Christian Bible as essential for Christians.

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.
What are the discrepancies between Roman Catholics and Christianity?
