What is the difference between a Catholic mass and a Christian Mass?
Well, my mom told me this, the difference between a Catholic mass and a Christian mass is a Christian does not have communion and does not have a tabernacle. But a Catholic mass does give out communion and does have a tabernacle.
Can the sponsor be Anglican if the person being confirmed is catholic?
No. The sponsor MUST be a practicing Catholic who has been confirmed previously (such as the year before) and at least 18 or older and is never (a) (the) parent of the person who is to be confirmed as a Catholic. The sponsor may not/cannot be a member of any other Christian Church or Community, only Catholic. It can be a close friend, a godparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, whoever, but they must be Catholic, period. Any guests of the person to be confirmed who are not Catholic are welcome to observe the sacrament during the Mass, but are refrained from taking Holy Communion during the Mass.
The Eucharist which is celebrated in Mass is called this by the Catechism of the Catholic Church?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church refers to the Eucharist celebrated in Mass as the "source and summit of the Christian life" (1324).
Can a confirmed Episcopalian convert to the Catholic Church without having to be confirmed again?
Yes. While the catholic church recognizes the Baptism as valid it does not recognize the Confirmation as valid, since it requires administration by a priest having received the valid sacrament of holy orders. While the Catholic Church and Episcopal Church are close in tradition and both have seven sacraments, only Baptism is considered as valid.
What does the Catholic Church teach about Christian services?
The Catholic Church is in favor of Christian services, it provides them to all people. If you are asking about Church services, they are mainly celebrated by Religious Communities. The primary "service" in the protestant sense of the word, is the Eucharist, the Mass.
If you get your son baptized Lutheran is he still recognized by the Catholic Church?
Short answer: Yes. Longer explanation: your son will be recognized as being baptized into the Christian community. All Christian baptisms are recognized by the Catholic Church. Longer answer: His baptism is recognized, as are other Trinitarian baptisms and church marriages, as well. That does not make him Catholic. That does not make him welcome to receive the Eucharist at a Catholic Mass. He is recognized as a baptized Christian, separated from the fullness of the Church.

Do you have to be confirmed in a Catholic Church to marry a Catholic?
no, you do not have to be Catholic as long as one of you are catholic. Addition: I'm not sure who left that last answer, but it's sadly inadequate. Yes, you have to be confirmed in order to be married in the Catholic Church. However I have sometimes seen priests make exceptions for couples who are in the process of getting confirmed but who will not complete their confirmation classes before their wedding date. The first person seems to have answered another question entirely, which is, can a catholic marry a non-catholic in a catholic church. The answer to that question is, yes it is possible, but you need to receive a special dispensation from the priest who is marrying you. Both answers are wrong. Church Law does NOT require Confirmation for a Catholic to be married in a Catholic Church, though it is encouraged. Baptized Catholics have a right to a Church wedding, provided they have no impediments (prior marriage, etc). The Bishop is the only person who can deny someone a Catholic wedding. If a priest, on his own denies someone a wedding without valid reason, they need to be reported to their local diocese. Talk to a good priest and he will answer your questions. there are a lot of uninformed answers on this forum.
Can Catholics become another religion?
it depends but no they cant it will be very difficult to changeRoman Catholic AnswerIf you are baptized Catholic or accepted into the Catholic Church as a convert, then you remain a Catholic until the day you die, and you will be judged according to the revelation that God has given to the Christian Church. If you leave the Church and apostatize to another some other religion, then you remain a Catholic who is not attending Mass. You may petition the Bishop to be removed from the roles of the Church, but the baptism you received is from God, and it permanently makes you into something different: a Christian, and that is how God sees you, you cannot undo your baptism.
