Question
Hi, I have a couple of questions. What are the differences between Catholics and Christians? Are they practically the same thing or is there a BIG difference? And also I'm very confused about Jews. I've always wondered what everyones problem was with Jews. I thought what did they ever do to you. Well today my mama and I were having a conversation about different religions. She was saying that Jesus was a Jew. And that Jews don't belive in Jesus. So that answered one of my questions. (Why people don't like Jews) But now I want to know If thats what Jews belive, then how can Jesus be a Jew. He has to believe in himself.

Thanks....

Answer
Dear Stacy,

Catholics worship Mary, and do many church practices that protestant christians do not agree with.


Secondly the Jews did not receive what Jesus said about himself being the Son of God come to saved the world. The accepted that he was a Jew.

Hope this helps


God bless
