In the video below, a Fr. Spitzer's Universeviewer writes the following email:

"Dear Father Spitzer, We raised our daughter Catholic. She eventually married a good Christian non-Catholic man and no longer attends mass. She says that all religions are pretty much the same, and there is no benefit in being Catholic over the Protestant faith because we all worship the same God. Are all Christian religions the same? God bless you." —Karen
Father Spitzer replies to the email by explaining that all religions are not the same and that Catholicism, in particular, differentiates itself from all other religions due to a few major characteristics.

Are Catholics and Christians the Same?​

The biggest reason that Catholicism is not only different from all other religions but different from Protestantism, is because of its belief in the true presence of the Eucharist. No other religion possesses the belief that a perfect form of God can come down to earth not only to be experienced but actively participated in. Catholicism believes that the Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ, meaning that every time you receive it, you are receiving a part of the most perfect human being in all of history. In contrast, Protestant denominations believe that the Eucharist is simply symbolic and only represents that Christ died for us.
