christianity vs catholicism, changes in the church Options

[dreaming.of.ange...]

okie dokes... i was in the christian and atheists room thingy and had said i was catholic. and well i was wondering if anyone has any strong beliefs about the changes in vatican 2 church

let me first of all say this... there are differences between catholics and christians... catholics believe in the more traditional mass (mass is in latin, stricter rules about communion, dress code etc.) and well christians believe in the vatican 2 church

for me theres just to many changes to even believe in the vatican 2 church... it seems like its been watered down... for me i go to church in a nice skirt and blouse with a veil on my head. when i used to go to a vatican 2 church, i could wear shorts or wahtever... on the few times i go there (only because thats that only church where i am... trust me i wouldt go by choice but my parents dont listen to me) i see people wearing things that u couldnt even wear in school much less in a place of worship. and church should be a solemn time shouldnt it?

umm... before i write an essay ill stop here. id love to ahve a good debate on this subject ^^

When the disciples began the church, it wasn't Catholic right? In my opinion, you are only Christian if you belive Christ is your only Savior of your sins, and he is the Only God, and you're passion is to serve him, and that goes for everybody that belives this, Catholics, Baptists, Methodists... and so on.

yea. i agree with this.

Catholic and Christianity arent different titles. all those things such as baptist, methodist, presbytarian and what not. They all believe in christ. that he died and rose again. He died for our sins and took the humility of dieing on the cross for us.

Thats what christianity is really about.

So dont go off saying that Catholics and Christians are different. its the absolute same thing.
