073 - Catholics & Protestants: What’s Actually Different?

Are Catholics and Protestants really all that different? We agree on a lot: Jesus Christ, the Trinity, Scripture, and many fundamental Christian teachings. But there are also important differences in what Catholics and Protestants believe about the Church, the Eucharist, salvation, Scripture, Tradition, and authority. So what do those differences actually mean? In Episode 073, Fr. Andy the Greater and Fr. Andy the Lesser unpack some of the most common questions they hear: • Why can’t Catholics receive Communion at a Protestant church? • What makes the Catholic Mass different from a Protestant worship service? • What do Catholics mean by “the fullness of truth”? • What are sola fide and sola scriptura? • Can a Catholic marry a Protestant? • Can Catholic parents send their children to a Protestant school? • And if Catholics and Protestants disagree, can we still work and pray together? It’s a conversation about both the differences and the things we share with our Protestant brothers and sisters.
