Catholicism:
Catholicism having three main referential literary materials to their religion, the Bible, Tradition, and the Creeds.
Ultimately Christ [Jesus/God] is the main authority.
Catholics believe the Bible must be interpreted, and comprehended in the most correct way.
Catholics believe that creation is good, that God uses it for His purposes, but that it is marred by Original Sin.
Catholics believe in the Nicene Creed, and therefore believe in one God who exists as three persons, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
The sacraments are divinely instituted signs that give the grace that they signify. Catholics and Orthodox accept seven sacraments: Baptism, Holy Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Holy Orders, Matrimony, and Anointing of the Sick.
Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, thus she is called theotokos (God-Bearer) and "mother of God." Catholics, believe that Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus. However, Catholics and Orthodox believe that Mary remained a virgin her entire life. Catholics believe that Mary was conceived without original sin in order to be a sinless bearer of God incarnate: Jesus Christ. This is known as the immaculate conception.

Mmm,true but both have different views,
Catholics worship Mary and I as a Christian
think they are misguided.
Please be free to argue.

As far as I know, so do Catholics.
I believe it's just that they might worship archangels and mary (they do. I've been to catholic churches and they do worship mary), and I believe some of Jesus' disciples. But they don't view them as Gods. Just simply holy people, like saints.
