There are some parallels between the Bacchic cult and Catholicism, such as the ritual of wine consumption and the idea of communal celebration. However, the Bacchic cult focused on the worship of the god Bacchus (Dionysus), with emphasis on ecstasy and wild behavior, while Catholicism centers on the worship of the Christian God and places importance on morality and obedience. Overall, the Bacchic Cult and Catholicism are different in their beliefs and practices.
Catholicism is not a cult. It is the original Christian religion.
The bacchic rituals were known for their wild and frenzied dancing.
The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ. He was a leader of all the disciples which formed a group but the Catholic Church didn't really come from a cult.

Hinduism in India or Roman Catholicism in Spain fall into which of the following types?

Technically, no. The voodoo religion grew out of slavery and hid itself in the trappings of Catholicism since African slaves were forbidden to use their old religions a part of their slavery. Seeing many similarities in their Loa and the many Saints the African priests and priestess' co-opted Catholicism into Voodoo.Officially the church denounces voodoo as a pagan cult and so does not support it.
No.. it is a branch of Christianity that encourages speaking in tongues, and emphasizes the descent of the Holy Spirit onto followers of God (Pentecost). You could say Catholicism is more of a cult, as evangelical/pentecostal/baptist etc. do not require believers to pay a fee for their sins... now that doesn't make sense does it.?

No.cult: "a religion or sect considered to be unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader."But then again, it depends on what you believe. But I still wouldn't say that the Catholic church is a cult. when i think of cult tho, i think of Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. no offense to anyone out there by the way.Another opinion:I would say the Catholic church is a false church, a false religion.Another opinion.Cult is a word that has various definitions, some of which I believe apply to Catholicism. But I would more likely use the term false religion. For example, "cult" is the beinning of the word "culture." It is something that is "formed." The uneducated often confuse the word "cult" with that of "occult." The custom of using a birthday cake is a "cult." "Cult" used in an intellectual fashion does not have a negative conotation. It mean that something has been raised and formed. Yes, the Catholic Church, as any church, is a "cult." It is not of the "occult."
