How Do You Tell Catholicism From Evangelical Christianity?
Christianity is a broad term that encompasses a number of different sects. Catholicism has specific beliefs and practices that are not typically seen in non-denominational forms of Christianity. Those not familiar with the Christian faith may not know that there are vast differences within the one religion. While all Christians believe in God and Jesus Christ as his one true son who serves as a savior, there are differences in the way Catholics worship. Catholics have a Mass service, and this practice is specific to the Catholic faith. It is a remembrance of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, where his body and blood are recreated as the bread and wine. You will only find the Mass in a Catholic Church. Confession is also specific to Catholicism. While Evangelical Christianity believes that man cannot be absolved of sin by another mortal man, Catholics believe that priests are endowed with the authority to hear a sinner’s confession and recommend prayers or actions to wipe his slate clean
