I'm confused.

Is Catholic Christian? If you are a Catholic, can you be a Christian too? Or do they follow things that aren't in the Bible? I always thought it was interesting, but my mom says I shouldn't get into it.

Yes, Catholics are Christians. There are differences obviously in what we believe, both in terms of theology and interpretation, but the core tenents as the expressed in the Nicene Creed, remain foundational. (see the link http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/nicene.htm if you don't know what this is).

I do think that regardless of whether or not you ultimately agree with Catholic thinking, it is something worth learning about (as is the study of religions in general). Anyways, I'm sure CDLViking could give you a better rundown on the specific issues.

Having dealt with this issue on boards before, this is getting a swift close before someone opens their big mouth and offends a slew of people. If you feel your opinion needs to be heard, take it to PM.
