Roman Catholic AnswerUnfortunately, there have been many "fights" between protestants and Catholics in the last five hundred plus years, and, sorry to say, that there are never any winners in such a fight. When you have two groups of people, both professing to be Christian, and following Our Blessed Lord's command to "turn the other cheek", then anyone fighting at anytime is to lose as soon as you start fighting because you are disobeying God.

Why does Jimmy Swaggart say Catholics are not Christions and how can HE JUDGE?

I have heard many protestants say so. In Bolivia, where I live, it is even common among both Catholics and Protestants to simply call protestants "Christians" (as if Catholics weren't Christians). In my opinion, "Christians" would include both Protestants (diverse denominations) and Catholics. Of course you are right; he/they shouldn't be so judgemental. (Though I don't know for sure what exactly Jimmy Swaggart said.) The general idea is a belief that "All those that don't believe like me are infidels." Which of course is exactly the attitude you should have if what you want is to pick a fight.


Why did the Catholic king of France help Gustavus Adolphus fight the Catholics?

Cardinal Richelieu, the standing leader of France, realized that if he backed the Protestants (Sweden, Netherlands, England, protestant Germans) in their war against the Catholics (Hapsburg Germans, Pope and Holy Roman Empire, Spain) and the protestants won, France would be the most powerful nation in Europe. This was the first time after the Protestant Reformation that a war was fought for something other than religious ideals. Because of this Spain ceased to be the most powerful nation, and France took its place.


Two religious groups fight on Northern Ireland Which?

The troubles in Northern Ireland related to politics, not religion as is often portrayed. When it is, they mention Catholics and Protestants.

Why do some Irish Catholics become terrorist?

This has happened to very few Catholics and their terrorist actions were certainly not those of a Catholic. It happened because Catholics were made feel and were treated as second class citizens, compared to Protestants..AnswerThis has little if nothing to do with religion. The English came in and took over Ireland, subjecting them, for many years, to cruel oppression. It just so happens that the English were all protestant and the Irish were all Catholic. It has mainly been a fight by the Irish to reclaim their country. It has NOTHING to do with "Catholics" becoming "terrorists".

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.


Did Catholics and Anglicans fight for control of Ireland during 30 year war?

No, first off the Thirty Year War was fought in central Europe and it started as a fight between protestants, mostly Calvinists and the Church but degraded into a war between France and the Hapsburgs who ruled the Holy Roman Empire, and both France and the Hapsburgs were Catholic. In Ireland, after the vicious suppression of Elizabeth I and there are no words to describe the horror under Cromwell, Catholics were completely disenfranchised, their property and livelihood was stolen from them by the English and they were forbidden to even speak their own language much less worship God. As horrible and dreadful as it all was, it had nothing to do with the Thirty Years War, and the Catholics were in no position to "fight" for control, they were just trying to survive.
