In Catholicism. People generally lump Catholicism and Christianity together.
They have the same basic history, the same God and hence the same Jesus, but
believe other things like worship of Mary, the Pope, etc. I am an Evangelical
Christian (Pentacostal/Charismatic to be precise) who does not believe in the
worship of Mary or the authority of the Pope since it is not written in the
Bible.
I will only go that far in explaining my beliefs and clarifying Christianity
since any further would be preaching.
