Hello, I am Chong You. In this blog post, I will be discussing about a subset of Christianity, Catholicism. Even though it is similar to Christianity, there are several similarities differences between Catholicism and Christianity.

Introduction to Catholicism

Catholicism is a form of Christianity and makes up part of the Christian community in the world. The word “Catholic” is adopted from Greek language, which means “universal”. The worldwide Catholic Church is led by a Pope, which is the leader of the worldwide Catholic Church. The current Pope of the worldwide Catholic Church is Pope Francis, which begins his term on March 13, 2013. He succeeded Pope Benedict XVI, which served in office between April 19, 2005 and February 28, 2013.

That is all I have to offer for today. Next week, I will continue to elaborate on the similarities and differences between Catholics and Christians and more on the history of Catholicism. Please do not forget to comment on, like and share this post with your friends and family and follow our blog if you are impressed with the content that me and other blog members are putting up.
