If you really want to be knowledgeable about something - then learn about it.
If you want to know more about protestantism, then do your research and look up the history.
If you want to know more about Catholicism, then study the doctrine. (I recomend starting with the Catechism)
Will it take you a long time to research in order to get a further understanding and knowledge?.... YES. But what is time in the course of knowledge ???
I am Catholic, and it is sad to see how many misconceptions - I'm talking REALLY skewed misconceptions about the Catholic Faith that go around, even from other Catholics and ESPECIALLY from other Catholics.
Protestants - before arguing against and slamming the Catholic Faith do research... a LOT of research!
Catholics - KNOW your faith so that you will be able to defend it!
The first Christians were JEWS and still practiced Judaism. I think what some Catholics are trying to say is that Catholics follow the apostolic succession - meaning, our lineage stems back to the 12 apostles, and namely, Peter, who was the first pope. That is why many catholics think they practice the one true religion.

Many Protestants believe that Catholics worship false idols because we pray to saints or Mary.
Religion can really be confusing I an trying to read 1,200 pages of a book called Christianity by Diarmaid MacCulloch. I am up to the part where the Christian religion comes to Rome and the western world. Believe me it is very detailed and very confusing to understand. I would not listen to some two bit Priest or preacher trying to explain Gods wishes to me.
I guess I an trying to say that people should practice or not practice any faith they want to and not worry about others beliefs less you have studied the history of the Christian church in detail. Otherwise you all just sound like a bunch of smucks. Parroting what others say is foolish and shows ones lack of the ability to think and reason .
