Ouch, Maru. EChronicle, the quick answer is that there are not actually 10 individual, distinct statments in the scriptural ""10 Commandments."" In order to get a list of 10, you have to merge some together; the difference in the lists is that Catholics merge a different two than Protestants do. I don't know of any sites off the top of my head that I would recommend, but Maru's link may be helpful. 

The short answer, though, is that it's just a matter of how you turn the 15 statements in Exodus 20 that form the ""10 Commandments"" into a list of ten. If you merge together the ""first two"", it's Catholic, if you merge the ""last two"" is Protestant.  (Talk • ) "
