Talk:Catholicism

In the article it says its a major christian denomination. I think it should be changed to biggest christian denom because it is. The peace of god be upon you.--Sir James Paul 12:05, 27 May 2007 (EST)

It might be better to say that the protestant churches split away from the Roman Catholic Church based on differences in opinion of doctrine, especially the issue of "Justification by faith ALONE" versus "Justificattion by faith INCLUDING works".

Catholic doctrine does not teach that faith AND works are necessary but that faith has to include works.

I agree with the above; and also, please unlock the page. Darth Stabro 06:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Redirect

I'd be interested to hear the pros and cons of the new redirection of Roman Catholicism to Catholicism. I'm not an expert on the topic, but it would be good to learn a bit more about the official titles. Anyone have any links? Cheers. --Graham 06:10, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Roman refers to the A) Bishop of Rome being the Pope, or B) the Roman/Latin Rite of the Mass. Many people say "Roman" and "Anglican" Catholic Church as if they are the same religion but different rites. It is true for say, the Byzantine Catholic Church Which is in union with the Pope at Rome. The Anglicans are not, as with the Greek Orthodox Church, though the Holy See recognized the valid sacraments of the Greek Orthodox Church.

At Wikipedia you can see the article has the title "Catholic Church" and then "also known as" the Roman Catholic Church. Sorry if this is confusing, but I'm not used to being an apologist explaining to Protestants, I'm better with Mormons... Any more questions? ~Darth Stabro _~(Talk) 09:30, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
