There are no other 'religions' in the Catholic Church. However, within the Catholic Church there are a number of rites, including the Latin (Roman) rite, the Maronites, and several Eastern rites but all are Catholic. They are not different religions.

Do catholics tolerate other religions?
Yes we are. Even though our past with other religions is not pleasant, we do not dislike other religions. It is true that Catholicism is tolerant of other religions, although it took a long time, and the success of protestantism for this to be a fact. The church eventually had to give up the fight and be accepting once so many other nations became predominantly protestant, and in those countries the Catholics often became the persecuted. However the view of most Catholics well into the 20th century, and the official view of the church itself was that no one but Catholics could be saved. This changed after Vatican II, inasmuch as separated brethren could be saved if they were truly faithful Christians because of the fact that they were, because of no fault of their own ignorant of the truth of the Catholic Church. In other words they could only be saved as de facto "adopted Catholic Christians". One can only wonder what would have happened if Protestantism had failed and been practiced by an extremely small minority in all nations. In this case it is arguable that the Inquisitions would have continued for a much greater period. There are conservative Catholics today, in a minority, but still a fairly sizable one, who still consider Protestants unsaved because of their faith, and would quite readily put into place a Catholic theocracy in the United States if they could. I'm a convert of 26 years, and I know what I'm talking about, I've met these people.
Is Protestant Catholic?
No.AnswerIf you mean 'catholic' with a small 'c', then yes. the word 'catholic' simply means 'universal' and so the Protestant Church is part of the universal Christian Church worldwide.

Did the Catholic Church borrow from other religions?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo. However, different people may look at it differently. For instance, the Catholic Church is a direct descendant of ancient Israel. All of the first Catholics were Jews who believed that Jesus was the Messiah. To this day, the entire Old Testament is part of the Christian Scriptures. A Jew may, indeed, look at a Christian and say they are "borrowing" from Judaism. As for other religions: God has provided that everyone should be able to attain salvation, and for that they must have a choice. To a certain extent there is some truth in all religions. But it is the extent to which they have perceived the truth that they have things in common with Catholicism. Catholicism, along with Judaism, are the only two religions that have been directly revealed to men by God, Himself.So, no, they have not borrowed from other religions, everything in them has been directly revealed by God, or indirectly, but still from God, not other religions.
