Catholicism is a subset of Christianity, like Eastern Orthodox, Protestantism, Gnosticism, Mormonism, etc.

Having been raised Catholic, with an interval spent in nondenominational evangelical/fundamentalist Christianity
before returning to Catholicism, my observation is that, at least in practice, Catholicism comes with
more of the ceremonial / ritualistic bells n' whistles.

Ugh. Ya gotta love the attitude characterized by those associated with "true Christianity." Makes you want to go right out and join up.

I know what you mean and how you feel.
However facts is facts.

Oh brother
Not at all, not in the slightest way. I search still, ergo why I am here.

It does to me. The vast majority of the Catholics I have known are very loving and kind people. I'm pretty sure that's something Christ taught and exemplified.

Catholicism, while originally meaning the "universal" Church of Christ, has become a mere sect of Christianity.

Sorry. Just making sure. Thanks for your help in making sure the rules are followed. In all honesty, I always greatly appreciate it, even if I am in the wrong.

Question: Do you feel your religion is correct in all ways? Even close to being
right according to scripture?
