Is this some sort of remnant of evangelical puritan protestant ideology?

I don't understaun this.

If you ask me, it'd make as much sense as Orthodox and Christians.... or Shia and Muslim...

I know not all Christians are Catholics but for feck's sake...

They're all Christians to me....

Edit:

It's a U.S thing but this is the sort of things I hear...

https://www.gotquestions.org/Catholic-Christian.html

I am a Catholic. Why should I consider becoming a Christian?

I now know more distinctions (apparently Catholicism requires duty and salvation is process, unlike Protestantism?) but I still think they're of a similar branch (Christianity) so I just wonder the social factor

Schism was the very first thing the Christian church learned to do.

Because the Anglosphere was so xenophobic that even the Irish and Italians were too culturally exotic to them and thus demonized their entire belief system.

Catholics and Christians

The Orthodox: refuse-the-question

Catholics believe in a religious hierarchy, Cardinals, bishops, Pope e.t.c.

Christians USUALLY think hierarchy in religion is almost blasphemous. But really it's just so they can kinda just do whatever the fuck they want and not worry about the Pope excommunicating them.

as someone that grew up in the South and was surrounded by evangelicals, Catholics were seen as weird/possibly satanic, depending on the person, and not really Christians because of the saints and Mary worship. They're polytheistic since they don't just focus on Jesus Christ.

Platypuses and mammals.

Platypuses are mammals, but they're weird enough that you can't usefully generalise from them to anything else, to the point that lumping them in together could be actively misleading.

Same deal.

Wait do you randomly drop "and platypuses" when you're talking about mammals??

[-] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Kind Sir, please never drop a platypus. I thank you kindly.

(Insert smirk for my dumb joke)

[-] livus@kbin.social 5 points 7 months ago

Please never drop a platypus

Platypuses are mammals, but they’re weird enough

We probably wouldn't consider them nearly as weird if they were more numerous than any other mammal species and lived all over the world. So their comparison to catholicism is weird.

The Christians are just whiny Catholics. Protesting all day.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I've heard "Protestants and Christians" too. It hasn't been that long really since some of them openly hated the other.
