Part B. Comparison between Salvation Army and Catholic

The Catholic Church and the Salvation Army church are extremely different in many ways. Although both churches are based on a good set of morals they differ in what they believe completely.
The Catholic Church uses very much a routine way of doing the service. They use slow, olden hymns and they have very structured times of completing things. The Priest says prayers, reads bibles, and lifts things all as if it is scripted. Although the Catholic Church has good moral basis behind them they seem to be a bit fake with their ways. The Catholics believe in the Holy Trinity. This is something the Salvation Army also believes in highly.
The Catholic Church has seven sacraments. Baptism, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders and Anointing of the Sick. These seven are all routine practices of the Catholic Church and are taught by elders to the next generation as something to be continued. . The Salvation Army believes that some of these practices are necessary. They believe that Baptism and Holy Communion are the only two reasonable and required sacraments. While they believe this they do not practice it very often as the Salvation Army believes there are many other ways to declare your reborn state.

The Salvation Army is a very new church as it began the 1800’s. The church has morals and mission statements that are all about helping others and God. This is a good thing to base a church on as it affects everyone’s needs. The Salvation Army does very good work throughout the community. The Catholics do charitable work also, however it is not a common basis of that of the Salvos. The many fundraising events through out they year fun by the Salvation Army are something many people know about and therefore give too.
The church services are very different to each other. The modern Salvation Army uses music, prayers and even bible readings that are relevant to the modern world. This is a effective method to keep new people attending the church as it is relevant and challenging to them. The Catholic Church services use very old hymns, prayers and holiness teachings which may not be completely relevant to a lot of people who enter the church.

While both churches believe essentially the same thing about God, the major differences within these denominations is evident. The Catholic Church is a lot about Religion. The Salvation Army is all about Relationships.
