What are the differences between Catholics and Quakers?

Answer 1

Pretty much everything other than Christianity and Democracy. The Puritans believed in a Socialistic Theocracy with a very limited democratically elected hierarchal structure. The Puritans emphasized severe punishment and public adgnowledgement for sins. Catholics believe in a democraticly elected, very powerful hierarchy. Catholosism emphasizes love. The pentanance in Catholosism is private, and is one's confession.

Answer 2

Roman Catholic AnswerPilgrims were protestants, so they had exactly the same differences as modern protestants, they rejected the Church founded by Jesus Christ:

The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit in the first century to bring God to the people and the people to God. The Protestant "churches" were founded by individuals sixteenth centuries after Christ according to their own personal beliefs.

Catholics believe that God the Son became incarnate in a human body through the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Virgin Mary to save mankind from their sins. He established His Church and appointed Apostles (Bishops) and Peter (Pope) to guide that Church on earth and He guaranteed to be with It until the end of time. Catholics believe that you only have one choice in life: to love and serve the Lord, or to reject Him and be separated from Him forever in Hell. Every other choice you have in life comes down to that, is this following Jesus or rejecting Him.

Protestants reject Christ because they reject His Body: the Church. They believe that they are their own little Pope and that they can decide how to follow Jesus themselves. Thus they fragment into many "denominations" as they decide how they want to follow God, ignoring what He, Himself has said, and interpreting for themselves what is right or wrong. Thus they believe that they have more choices than following God or not, they believe that they have the choice to decide HOW they are going to follow God.

Answer 3

.

Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church was established by Our Blessed Lord on the Apostle Peter (see St. Matthew 16:17-19), which the Apostles as its first Bishops and guaranteed that it would be One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic until the end of the world. He sent the Holy Spirit to guide it into all truth. The Anglicans were a protestant Church established by King Henry VIII of England as he couldn't live by the moral code of Christ's Church and, instead of obeying the Holy Father (Christ's Vicar on earth), he started his own Church. The puritans thought that the Anglican Church was too "Catholic" and wanted to purify it, so they are another protestant group who broke away from the Anglican Church.
