Best Answer

Catholicism is Christianity. Catholics and Protestants are just two different types of Christians. Technically, to be a Christian you just have to believe that God sent his only son Jesus to die for you to save you from certain death which you deserve for your sins. Because he died, you can accept his death as a gift by admitting that you've sinned and turning to a life that is pleasing to God. Catholics have a lot of ceremonies and rituals, such as Lent, that have developed after the time of Jesus in the reign of Emperor Constantine, but the basic framework is the same. Just so we're clear, CHRISTIANITY=Catholicism or Protestantism EITHER works if you have a sincere heart.

No, there is not a difference between Catholicism in the United States or Great Britain - except for the funny accent; as we are members of One, Holy, catholic, and Apostolic Church. We use the same Missal, Church calendar, and rubrics. And Catholicism is the "original" form of Christianity; as opposed to the myriad of "Flavors" offered today.
