Question

What is one of the major differences between Catholic and Protestant theology?

O Catholics have the Holy Eucharist, Protestants have Lord's Supper
O Catholics go to Mass led by a priest, Protestants go to services held by a preacher
O Catholics have a pope, Protestants do not
O Catholics celebrate saints, Protestants do not

Answer 1

C - Catholics have a pope, Protestants do not

(got it correct on my test)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Catholic Church believes in papal authority: the Pope is the supreme authority on Earth and that he receives divine knowledge and leadership from God. Protestants believe that there is no need for a pope. Each individual can speak freely with God and has no need for an emissary. Another major difference is that Protestants believe salvation comes through faith in God alone, while Catholics believe that attending mass and following church teaching will guarantee salvation.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) Catholics have a pope, Protestants do not.

One of the major differences between Catholic and Protestant theology is that Catholics have a pope, Protestants do not.

Of course, there are many differences between Protestant and Catholic religions. But one of the most notable differences is that the Catholic Church is led by the pope in Italy; the Vatican, to be more specific. Protestants do not have a pope.

Indeed, that was one of the main reasons for the separation or the split of the church. German monk Martin Luther accused the pope and the Catholic church of selling indulgences and he critiqued this, saying that it was not moral and correct. He wrote this and other interesting ideas in his essay "95 Theses."
