Catholocism is a form of Christianity as is Mormonism for that matter.

All Christian denominations have differences. Are Lutherans not different than presbyterians? Are southern Baptists not different from Northern Baptists?

Your implication is that Catholics are somehow not Chistian which is entirely incorrect. Catholics are just as "Christian" as baptists, methodists, lutherans, etc. It is indeed a subset of Christianity just like the others.

True but the term Christians is usually associated (at least in the media) with the "born again" or extreme right version.

You can't fix this. I knew you missed when you said it. That's why I helped you out with the dog, cat, n' rat. Didn't work. They got around to asking you about it.

I think you may be referring to Catholics requiring good works and accepting Jesus as your savior where some Protestants require only accepting Christ as your savior... raping and pillaging does not exclude entrance thru the Pearly gates as long as in the end, you accept Christ as your savior.

If you are Catholic, you got to spend some time suffering in Purgatory (not skiing). You just gotta watch everyone else ski just to make sure you suffer a bit before you can hit the pearly gates.

That covers it.
sorta.

but I digress...

I did too.
But I took copious notes.
The priests and nuns did not
like me. Nuns battered my hands with rulers.

Thought I was a pest that asked too many questions.
(aside: sorry mom, really)

Cant imagine anyone would think I was long-wnded brat.

Sister Mary Cletus was my Mother Superior - she was the one with the big paddle.

Yess.

Jews first. Then Christians from Jews then Roman Catholics a major Christian group, then Catholic popes getting to close to the rich fellas in Europe. Martin Luther gets pissed. Protestants branch off, which branch further... they are all Christians, ie Jesus Christ is the son of god and savior.

Right Cannon?

oh yes you got the Muslims branching from early christians which branched from Jews.
Jews first. Yes?
