旅行的意義

前幾天跟德國朋友談歐洲宗教的事
                                                                                
後來才發現我們對於"基督教"一詞的認知似乎有誤
                                                                                
                                                                                
我問他: 你是信奉基督教還是天主教? Are you Christian or Catholic?
                                                                                
結果他覺得這個問題很奇怪
                                                                                
後來他跟我解釋之後  我才知道是中文上的謬誤@@
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                           基督教 (Christian)
                                                                                
                                                   /          \
                                                                                
                           天主教 (Catholic)          東正教 (Orthodoxy)
                                                                                      
                                     /          \             ....
                                                                                
                天主教 (Catholic)   (基督)新教 (Protestant)

中文裡，習慣把"基督新教"簡稱為"基督教"，但在英文中這兩個卻是完全不同的字，
                                                                                
基督新教，是當時為了反抗(protest)已與原聖經背道而馳的天主教，脫離另成新的
                                                                                
基督教派別，並不能和原先的基督教混為一談。
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
如果解釋有誤的話請糾正:)
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
不知道是不是只有我搞混了?
                                                                                
這到底是我歷史沒學好，還是中文的謬誤呢@@?
