What is the Difference between catholic and baptist?

In: Catholicism, Baptists, Comparative Denominations

[Edit]

There are numerous differences between the Catholic and Baptist denominations. Many Catholic churches emphasize sacraments (taking communion, saying "Hail Mary"s, etc.) as being a necessary part of salvation - Baptist churches tend to deemphasize the importance of such things in regard to salvation, emphasizing instead the role of faith in God alone.

Catholics often honor Mary very highly, while Baptists generally do not esteem her so highly. Catholics sometimes pray to saints who have gone before them, asking these saints to pray to God for them - Baptists generally only pray directly to God, not to saints. The Catholic denomination has priests, while the Baptist denomination has none.

There are more differences, but these are some of the major places where the two denominations differ.
