What is the difference between protestant catholic and orthodix Christianity?

Answer 1

First, there is more in common betwen the different Christian churches and communities there is different, especially in the most important things, like our faith in God as Trinity, faith in Christ, the Resurrection, baptism, the importance of The Bible, etc.

It is also important to remember that there are many different Protestant churches and communities, each is different from the other, and so each is different from the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church in different ways.

Briefly, though, differences include:

The Catholic Church is a communion of 23 autonomous churches, present throughout the world, all of which are in communion with the pope (the bishop of Rome).

The Orthodox Church is a communion of 25-30 autocephalous and autonomous churches in communion with the Ecumenical Patriarch (the bishop of Constantinople). There are also the six Oriental Orthodox Churches which are in commmunion with the pope of Alexandria, and the Assyrian Church in communion with the Patriarch of Selucia-Ctesiphon.

There is no Protestant Church, per se, only a variety of protestant churches, and each can differ as much from the other as from either of the above two groups. The main thing they have in common is that they are not Catholic (or Orthodox).
