Catholacism was started in the Holy Roman Empire, by Constantine.

Constantine was not Christian to begin with. he didnt believe in it one bit.

But, His mother was. And one day, she told him that he would die if he did not convert. So he did. And he spent an ridiculous amount of money building churches and ornate edifaces to jesus and god. and he made everyone under him convert.

So Catholacism came to be because a heretic was afraid that he would die if he didnt start praying to god.
That is not correct. The Catholic Church was founded directly by Jesus Christ at the last supper. He broke bread and gave wine to his disciples and then told them to go and spread his word. His 12 apostles (or disciples, same thing) became the first 11 Catholic priests. (Judas killed himself after betraying Jesus.) Constantine had nothing to do with the birth of Catholicism.

I agree with you about this being a well spoken, mature discussion as opposed to the typical name calling that ensues when someone feels like they aren't being agreed with. :D

Maybe i was misinformed, but the apostles started christianity, not catholacism, to the best of my knowledge. But i digress, religion always took a back seat in my studies.

(I feel like such an ignorant little teenager but...) Can someone explain the differences between Catholocism and Christianity? All I know is Catholic priests can only be men, and must be celibate....right? Or is that both? :confused:

Catholicism is a specific religion within Christianity. (Christians are tied by a belief in the same God as well as following the Bible.) There are other more minor differences that seperate the religions from each other...
Other Christian religions are Lutheran, Baptist, etc...

Catholic priests can only be men and they are supposed to remain celibate. (Obviously, not all of them do. That makes them a bad Catholic priest.)

"and as a BLASPHEMAR, you are sentenced to be stoned to death."

"Look, my wife had cooked a lovely piece of fish, and all I said was 'That piece of Halibut was good enough for Jehovah'"

"Blasphemar!"

*clunk*

"OWWwww! Come off it, we haven't started yet!"

"Alright, who threw that?!"

"She did!She did!She did! uh , He did! He did...."


*scowls* "Are there any women here?"

"No. No. No. No. No."
