The Catholic Church does not represent Christian Values that are found in the bible. The Catholic Church is based on Religion, Rituals and Dogma ...

I don't understand, how can a person be Christian-Catholic? A person can only be one, either you're a Christian or you're a Catholic, you can't be both!

How many believe this?

How many disagree? Why?

All Catholics accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

All Catholics been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

All Catholics follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and his Apostles.

Therefore all Catholics are Christians.

With love in Christ.

what is the differnce between being christian and catholic???

Catholics were the original Christians, actually.

The difference between Protestant and Catholic depends on the Protestant denomination-- and I think transubstantiation may be a universal difference. Most Protestants came from the "Protestant reformation," which claimed that the Catholic church was too loose with its interpretation of the Bible, along with 94 other specific issues Martin Luther had.

Ironically, Martin Luther didn't want to break away from the Catholic church, or start any kind of religious revolution, he just wanted to reform the church-- he was highly dependant on the support of German princes, who were Catholic. When the people wanted to start a revolution in his name, he fled to hide with the princes. But, it happened anyway, even forming a group called, "Lutherans."

Most people say that Catholic are Christian but what makes them two different religion.And is the bible the same for catholic and christian?

This is not a complete answer, but I think it serves to show the fundamental difference.

All three religions have their roots in the Christian Old Testament, also called the Torah by the Jews. The Torah tells the story of creation and of God's chosen people, the Jews. The Torah speaks of a Messiah to come. Those who hold to Judaism are still waiting for that Messiah. All three religions hold to the Torah as being the word of God.

Catholics and Christians believe that the man, Jesus Christ, was the Messiah the Jews were looking for. Both groups hold to Jesus being the Messiah, or Savior. They also both believe that the New Testament books are additional words of God, making the Bible a comprehensive revelation of God.

The main difference between Catholics and Christians is in the way they handle the Bible and the history and traditions of the church.

Christians, starting with the Reformation in the 16th century, have held that the Bible is God's *complete* revelation, that no one can add to it or take from it. They also hold to salvation (getting to heaven) through Jesus alone, by faith alone, through grace alone. They believe that salvation cannot be earned. They believe that salvation is a personal transaction that takes place between the individual and Jesus.

The Catholics, in contrast, believe that the complete revelation of God *includes* the infallible history and traditions of the church. They see the pronouncements of the Pope, for example, as having equal weight with the Bible. They also believe that individuals need the church - through the sacraments - for salvation. It isn't Jesus alone or faith alone, but a combination of these things and the works that we do via the sacraments.

There are many fine points of distinction, but I believe that this is a reasonable summary.

What is more acceptable in the English language or grammar in saying, Catholic Christians or Christian Catholics, which of those is right?

I suppose you could just say "Catholics"...the "Christian" part is implicit, since Catholics are a group of Christians. Sort of like you would just say "cats" and not "feline cats" or "cat felines." But, if you wanted to go the extra mile, the 'Catholic Christians' does seem more grammatically correct.
