I kind of doubt that Catholics preach anything the way that protestants do, I was raised a protestant, I have many good friends that are protestants (including some who are pastors of their Churches), and protestants use the same words that Catholics do but with totally different meanings. I was in the seminary as a young man, I hadn't been Catholic all that long, and I had a horrible time of it because they were using the same words that were familiar to me, but they meant totally different things. The fear of God in the Catholic Church is a GIFT of the Holy Spirit that you receive especially in Confirmation. The fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom, the fear of God is something we should all be able to understand, it is the same fear that you have born of the love of your parents when you fear that you are going to disappoint them, when you fear that you haven't lived up to the love they have showered on you your entire life.

Who is more right about god catholics or protestants?
Neither. Protestants believe that the way one believes in God should be simple, but Catholics believe that everything should be fancy and worthy of God.
Why does god exist to protestants?
I'm do not see that there are major differences on proofs for the existence of God between Roman Catholics and Protestants. Most proofs originated by Catholics are fine with Protestants, and vice versa. If the subject is really whether or not God exists, that is debated rather vigorously in good sized books right now. For a short but sound and readable proof for God, try the first 5 chapters of Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis
How does the second commandment affect to vow?
Protestants, Jews and Catholics number the commandments differently. To Protestants and Jews, the second commandment deals mostly with idolatry and has no effect of vows. To Catholics, the second commandment forbids taking God's name in vain, which can be interpreted as forbidding taking a vow in God's name with the intent not to keep it.
Do Protestants believe that God the Father and Jesus His Son are one in the same person?
No, most Christians (Protestants are Christians also) believe in one God in Three Persons. God the Father, God the Son, (Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit. Each Person is God, which makes up the one true God, but each one has a different "job" or ministry to perform.
What is a crazy fact about Catholics?
Catholics do not worship saints, the Blessed Virgin, idols or the pope. They worship only God. Now that is a crazy fact that many Protestants will contest but a fact nonetheless.

What are the main differces between protestants and catholics in Northern Ireland?
Their differences are their religious culture. Catholics are often nationalists in that they want Ireland to become one state Protestants are often unionists in that they want to remain apart of the United Kingdom. Catholics believe that the English monarch who are protestant oppressed them Protestants have the same religion as the monarch and therefore believe that the the British monarch is good. Catholics see the Pope as head of their church Protestants see the Queen as head of their church. However many protestants prefer to call the Queen as leader of their church with God being the head of the Church. Catholics see the tri-colour flag as their flag Protestants see the union flag as their flag
Who do Catholics worship besides God?
Catholic AnswerThat depends entirely on how you are defining "worship." If you are using the word "worship" as most protestants in the English speaking world currently use the word, you are referring to the adoration that is due to God alone. In that sense of the word, Catholics worship God, and only God. As He is the only Divine Being, our Creator, and Eternal, He is the only thing worthy of Adoration. Catholics call this latria. So to answer your question, in that sense of the English word, worship, Catholics worship nothing besides God.
Did the Catholics disapprove of Protestants because they believed that the Protestant denomination emphasized rituals and did not allow for individual thinking?
No, just the opposite. The Protestants didn't believe that the number of rituals were as important as the worship of God. They also believed that the Bible is the word of God, that anyone could read it, and that the language of the church service didn't have to be Latin.But pretty much the Catholics didn't like the Protestants because they said that the Catholic way of doing things wasn't good.The rituals are part of the worship of God. The Protestant reliance on the Bible and individual interpretation is the reason there are 300+ Protestant sects.
Why do Catholics genuflect in church?
Catholics genuflect in Church ONLY if the Blessed Sacrament is reserved in the sanctuary. In other words, they are genuflecting to God physically present in the front of their Church. As protestants don't even believe that this is physically possible, despite Our Blessed Lord's repeated assertion in the 6th chapter of St. John's Gospel, then why would they genuflect? You genuflect to God, protestants do not believe that God is in their "churches" so is no need for them to genuflect.
Why did Jesuits and friars go to the Spanish colonies in the Americas?
Roman Catholic AnswerFor two reasons, to minister to the Catholics that were there, and to preach God's word to the natives.
What does the phrase pure protestants and complicated Catholics mean?
This is a phrase from a book about the Churches in revolutionary times, obviously written from a protestant perspective. It says "How many ways can you think of to remember the differences between Catholic and protestant beliefs? Here is a simple memory jogger to help you: "pure protestants and complicated Catholics" which shows that the protestant wanted to make the Church simple and the Catholics wanted to keep all the ornaments and decorations." Which is a gross fallacy, first of all, it assumes that all the things the protestants threw out were not given to us from God, and that they weren't necessary. When it comes to decorations, there are many Catholics that are far more simple in their "decoration and ornaments" than protestants - look at the Carthusians or the Cisterians.
