I am unable to explain myself or this column in words... just ask questions...PLEASE

advice

I am Catholic..but I very interested in finding out about different religions..is that weird? hah

My question is: How many sects (right word?) does the Protestant church branch out to? (ex: Baptist, Methodist, Lutherans, etc..) How are their beliefs different from the other Protestant sects..(ex: How are Baptists different from Presbyterians?..etc) How are they all different from the Catholic Church?

Thanks so much!

first, no it isn't wierd.
second, protestants and all the other branches or all the non-catholic christians (depending on how you want to look at it) are so numerous I wouldn't know what number to give you... many have broken into individual groups as your mentioned lutheran and methodist but many of them have branched off within their own group... religion is an ever growing thing and changes to accomidate peoples minds as they change.
Third, the largest differences I have noticed between the catholic church and the other groups are that catholics take the wine to blood and bread to flesh literally... while most of the others I've researched view it more as a metaphor. Also the Catholic churchs acts as a monarchy within its own systerm where as the other groups are much more democratic in their actions...
I don't know if any of that made sense or helped any... I mean no offense to either side as I don't practice either side specifically... hoped that helped!
luck to you
