Christians follow the teachings of Jesus passed down through his disciples. The most important of these disciples was St. Peter who is the founder of the Catholic Church. So, the Catholic Church is the direct continuation of the teachings of Jesus aka they are Christian. Fast forward past a few bad popes and you end up with the Protestant thought which you can categorize many of the modern Christian churches. In other words... BOTH CATHOLICS AND PROTESTANTS ARE CHRISTIAN! To be Christian simply means that you follow the teachings of Christ so any church that does that is technically a Christian church.

Edited by SSG ACM: 4/30/2015 3:06:11 PM(1) The Apostle Peter was not the first Pope nor a proprietor of Catholicism (Matthew 8:14). (2) no one on Earth except Christ, God incarnate, or God can forgive sins, yet the Catholics promote that the Pope and his priests possess this capability. [MORE INFORMATION PENDING]...

1. Matthew 3:8 states bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance. And was talking about Abraham. If you're gonna cite scripture please know what you're talking about the land and the baptism of fire. 2. I agree with you on that but that doesn't make them not Christian. Basically the way Catholics believe is that priests and the pope are like a go between for people to talk to. Most priests do not think that they can exonerate your sins

Sorry, Matthew 8:14. I was thinking of something else. [INFORMATION PENDING]... I'll edit that now.
