天主教也属于基督教(Christianity)。基督教分为天主教（罗马正教the Roman Catholi

c Church）、东正教（君士坦丁堡正教the Eastern Orthodox churches）和宗教改革后

产生的一系列新教the Protestant churches三大类。

汉语中的基督教就是Christianity，但是许多人将其误解为新教the Protestant church

es，即认为基督教就是新教。

Christianity

major religion, stemming from the life, teachings, and death of Jesus of Naza

reth (the Christ, or the Anointed One of God) in the 1st century AD. It has b

ecome the largest of the world's religions. Geographically the most widely di

ffused of all faiths, it has a constituency of some 2 billion believers. Its

largest groups are the Roman Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox churches,

and the Protestant churches; in addition to these churches there are several

independent churches of Eastern Christianity as well as numerous sects throug

hout the world. See also Eastern Orthodoxy; Roman Catholicism; and Protestant

ism.
