Hi Folks,

I was wondering if there was a really good study out there comparing the different religions?

There are a lot of good ones, both by Catholics and non-Catholics. For the latter viewpoint I would recommend "The World's Religions" by Huston Smith; also Leo Rosten's "Religions of America." :-)

I think Rosten's is a good choice, but is there any book about the differences inside catholicism?

Hello, Milagros.
"Differences inside Catholicism," you said?
Can you confirm that you are speaking of the different "churches" within Catholicism (e.g., the Western/Latin church, the Byzantine church, the Melkite church, etc.)?

I'm hoping that you didn't mean "differences" of belief (faith and morals), because "inside Catholicism" it is impossible for there to be differences. Our Church teaches only the truth, and there is only one truth -- not two or more versions. (The best place for you to read about the doctrines of Catholicism is the new Catechism.)

God bless you.
John
