In your thumbnail, you have the image of the "Sacred Heart of Jesus" listed on the Protestant side, but that image is 100% Catholic. It originated in the 1670s, when Sister Margaret Mary Alacoque,(now a saint) a French Visitation nun, said that Jesus appeared to her and asked that this image that she saw be propagated for Mankind to know about his Sacred Heart inflamed with love for Mankind. Google... (Sacred Heart of Jesus) he told her he would bless every place where this image was exposed.

The thing is: Protestantism is an ad hoc religion, therefore, some of the points you made are not true to all protestants. Traditional protestants (as much as you can call protestants traditional) for exemple, do venerate the saints, use images and some even believe in purgatory. Ps.: Catholicism Is right :D

Protestantism is like the little brother that knows it all. Catholicism is the big brother who tells the little brother he has much to learn.

1. The only Protestant denomination that sees Bible way higher than the Bible are Bapists who only see the sacarmates as just symbols and that Church doesn't matter unless you have a personal relationship wiith God while most Protestant denominations do recongise the importances of Church tradition with having the Bible higher than church tradition but tradition still having a ton of authority even if the Bible has slightly more. Unlike the other Protestant churches, Baptists are seen as more low church, Lutherans, Anglicans and Reformed churches are seen as more high church. 2. There is a Protestant denomination that does believe the Bread and Water turns into the Body of Christ in a literal sense, that being the Lutherans because Martin Luther thought when Jesus said this is my body and this is my blood, he meant it because to him IS means IS while Reformed teaching says is means to repesent, that we do recieve the body and blood of Christ just spirtually, and than Baptists believe communion is only a symbol. 3. Protestant's views on Baptism depends on the denomination. Bapists believe Baptism is only how you declare you been saved, Lutherans believe Baptism saves and Presbyterian s believe Baptism does save but it's only tied to when you come to Christ. I reject the idea that Baptism makes you a member of the Catholic Church because it's unbibical. 4. Salvation is by God's mercy alone through faith alone in Christ alone according to scripture alone for the glory of God alone. 5. It is true that we don't pray to Mary or anyone else because you are only suppose to pray to God, no one else. 6. Religion imagery depends on the denomination. Some say it's okay, some say we shouldn't make images of Christ because we might be tempted to worship it, it just depends on the denomination. 7. There are Progressive and Conservative factions of each Protestant denomination. Some support female pastors, some say "I don't agree with it but if a church has one, it's not the end of the world" and some think if a church has one than it's a false church because they are going against the Bible. More Progressive factions might have Lebsian pastors, fly political symboling and say things like "It doesn't matter if Jesus really rose from the dead, what matters is that it can inspire us to be social justice" (because they remove the foundations of Christianity and therefore politics becomes their religion cause if Christianity can be anything than it's no logner Christianity) while the more Conservative factions are more true to the Bible and sometimes make the news for their right-wing beliefs. I think this is too narrow explatiation on what Protestantism is and how it differs from Catholicism. The truth is that Protestnatism does get plently of it's beliefs from Catholicism, it is the starting point of Protestant beliefs, HOWEVER, the Church went rouge, got corrupt, and adopting unbibical teachings and therefore the Lutherans broke off. You can think of Protestantism as Catholicism corrected by the Bible. Every denomination agrees on the basics of Christianity, and this goes with Protestantism, what makes them different is that none of them don't claim to be the one truth denomination. Protestantism by definition is any Christian denomination that doesn't claim to be the one true denomination. The idea with Protestnatism and churches spilting is that since none claim to be the one true church, it's okay if they spilt off over say different interpretations of something, because they can still be united spirtually which is an idea the Ecclesiastic denominations who do claim to be the one true denomination don't hold.

🇪🇹 I am from Ethiopia 🇪🇹 Catholicism would not have reformed by Protestants, if it had been serving people in a correct way, and proclaiming the true Jesus correctly. So, Protestant is the correct Christianity,.

At 4:42 Priests don’t act as a mediators. They act as people who sit and listen. (James 5:16) I may also be miss understanding the use of the word mediator but priests are not “middlemen” between us and God.

CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH SECOND EDITION 1544 Everything that the priesthood of the Old Covenant prefigured finds its fulfillment in Christ Jesus, the "one mediator between God and men. The Christian tradition considers Melchizedek, "priest of God Most High," as a prefiguration of the priesthood of Christ, the unique "high priest after the order of Melchizedek"; "holy, blameless, unstained," "by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are sanctified," that is, by the unique sacrifice of the cross. 1545 The redemptive sacrifice of Christ is unique, accomplished once for all; yet it is made present in the Eucharistic sacrifice of the Church. The same is true of the one priesthood of Christ; it is made present through the ministerial priesthood without diminishing the uniqueness of Christ's priesthood: "Only Christ is the true priest, the others being only his ministers.

I will start by stating that I am not a certified theologian nor professional apologist. With that being said, I am a practicing Catholic (and amateur defender of the faith), so I will answer your question as I know how: You first have to know what a "sacrament" is. I mention this first because many Protestants don't even have any sacraments at all, and so might not know the definition (even though all denominations seem to practice baptism, for example, many do not actually consider it a sacrament- many just call it an "ordinance"). For Catholics, a sacrament is a practice instituted by Christ which imparts divine Grace in a way that we can perceive with our human senses (and whose physical aspect mirrors its analogous spiritual role). And yes, the sacraments do have a salvific role, and yes- they are explicitly mentioned in scripture. To continue with the example of baptism, Jesus Himself says "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5) and "Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19). So we can see directly from the Bible that Jesus Himself institutes and commands baptism as a salvific practice, and that its perceivable nature - i.e. being physically washed with water - reflects its spiritual nature - i.e. the soul being cleansed of sin. Likewise, Jesus says "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world...Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you." (John 6:51, 53). Again, we see here that Jesus Himself explains and establishes the Eucharist as a salvific practice, and that its perceivable nature - i.e. eating His body under the appearance of bread - reflects its spiritual nature - i.e. nourishing our soul with His divinity. I could cite many more verses about baptism and the Eucharist from scripture, but you get the idea. And that is just about those two sacraments- there are passages which explain all the other sacraments as well, but I can't go through it all here in a KZread comment. I hope that answers your question.

@@jameso Actually, no, they don't. At least that is to say, definitely not all Protestants "adhere to those two." In fact, from what I know, pretty much only Lutherans and Anglicans (and those denominations derived from them) believe in the salvific nature of baptism (which is why they also baptize infants) and also in some sort of "real presence" of Christ in the Eucharist (but not in the same way Catholics do- i.e. transubstantiation). However, for the majority of other Protestant denominations, they view baptism and the Eucharist as only symbolic (indeed, they often even call them by other names- i.e. "believer's baptism" (which is not for infants) and "Lord's Supper"), and they do not label them as sacraments- because in general they don't believe in sacraments. By the way, I used to be a strong Protestant (Southern Baptist), but am now a devout Catholic.

Usually, they get something wrong with Catholicism, but being Catholic this video is very accurate.

In case some one is wondering with true honesty to their heart. Why not go protestant? Here's why not. 1. Heterodoxy. There is no one true protestant doctrine or one true church. There is only a sea of lies to salvation. You end up not knowing how to act or how to be truly good and you can sin as much as you want with no efficacious certainty. 2. Reason, logic, science. Sacred theology never contradics these because Truth never contradicts itself. The Church always was a big user of reason as opposed to Bible alone mentality without knowledge outside the Bible to understand better. 3. Authority. The Church gave authority to Bible. Before the bible was written the Church was already founded. The Church of the Acts of the Apostles, the Church of the Pentecost, the Church founded by Christ, the Church the "pillar of truth." That is the Church. 4. Martyrs. The Church is the church of the people who suffer because of truth. People who prefere to die over to sin or to renounce Christ. The Church of 2000 history of saints and great heroic people.

I would have included two more major differences. 1) Limbo. Catholics believe unborn children, such as those who die in the womb, are in Limbo and require prayers. Protestants don't. 2) Catholics delete the second command given to Moses not to make a graven image and not to bow to it. Protestants keep this verse in Exodus chapter 20.

Eternal life in Christ is offered freely by God to the whole world and those who want that eternal life in Christ will come to know Him by obeying His commands. So anyone that says they know Him, is the one that obeys His commandments. 1 John 2:2-4 2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. 3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him

Another huge difference is that Catholic Church has supernatural miracles all over the globe. Protestants and Orthodox have no heavenly miracles to back up thier authority. Also if you ever take a trip to the Holy land where Jesus lived all the bible stories are from you will only find Catholic churches there. No protestant churches in the holy land.

Not even Einstein or any of the top scientist over the centuries could disprove or explain how these miracles exist today. When something is truly from God it defys the laws of nature and science hence the word supernatural. And if you do visit the Holy land one day everywhere Jesus and the apostles lives and all the major parts in the Bible you will encounter nothing but Catholic Churches there. Good luck finding a protestant church in the holy land sir.

There is one thing Catholics and Protestants have in common. We’re both Christian. I’m a member of the Lutheran Church and we’re essentially “the Catholics without the guilt”. The Synod I’m officially a member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod is quite conservative although I don’t agree with any of the conservative stuff at all. I believe homosexuality is okay and I believe in abortion even though my church is against both. I’m more in agreement with the ELCA the liberal Lutherans. I also regularly attend an ELCA church and we have a lesbian pastor there too. The progressive churches are more biblical than the conservative churches. The conservative churches are very political and they preach right wing heresy. I also reject biblical literalism and take it figuratively. The bible is not meant to be taken literally either. I don’t even believe in young earth creationism. I consider yec to be heresy. I’m a theistic evolutionist and I know that the earth is at least 4.6 billion years old. God did say he created the world but he never told us how exactly

Definitely believe in the Protestant side. Let The Spirit guide you not man.
