It is normal to be curious about other churches and religions. Sometimes we want to know what they think about God and what kind of teachings they have, if they have any moral laws and so. But don`t let this curiosty turns you away from the Catholic Faith.It could lead you into temptation and put doubts in your heart. The devil can do that, he wants us to be interested and curious about other churches, it is true. The devil is terrible, he hates the Catholic Church because it is real church of Jesus, he hates all the priests and tempt them, he wants to destroy the Church and make us lose our faith. Don`t listen to him.
Many people say that all the religions are the same, but it is not true. Our Catholic Church was founded upon the rock, Peter, by Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ give all authority to Peter to guide His holy Church, we are his sheep, we are the continuation of the chosen people. The first chose people were the Jews. In the New Testament when the Messiah came, the Jews were to follow Jesus and His Church, thousands of them followed Him, and some did not. The ones who did not remained in error, they did not accept Jesus Christ as true Son of God, as the Savior and the ONLY WAY to Heaven. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life!
There are only two true religions: the Jews and the Catholic Church. But it does not mean we have to be jews, the big problem with them is that they don`t accept Jesus Christ. The other religions in the world are false, the protestant sects and their churches are false religions. They don`t have the apostolic sucession of centuries and centuries,they don`t have the holy Tradition, they don`t have a universal leader(a pope) to guide them, they don`t have the true Consacration of Body and Wine of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Communion, they don`t have valid ordained priests, they don`t have the sacrament of Confession, they don`t have the Eucharistic miracles and miracles of the saints, they don`t have the miracle of the incorrupted bodies of the saints, their Bible is not complete like us and so on. The protestant false religion is divided in multiple denominations, everyone can create a new protestant sect, they just need a bible and talk the way they want.
And the other non-Christians sects is even worse. What good is that to not have Jesus? without Jesus we are nothing. May Jesus convert them all.
What about moral laws? the Catholic church is very strong on that, we defend the life of the unborn, we defend the traditional marriage, we defend the sanctity of marriage, we say no to divorce, we defend chastity, we defend Jesus`s teachings and God`s creation- be fruitful and multiply. That is why the modern world and the media hates the Catholic Church. We need to be strong in our faith and morals. So God be praised and repected.
May God bless you all!
