If I may make a couple of suggestions, you may want to check out from a library, or even buy (they are inexpensive)a copy of Pope Benedict's "Introduction to Christianity" and a copy of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. They can answer any and all questions on Catholicism, which is far too often misunderstood. Pope Benedict's book is on Christianity related questions in general, and is not specifically Catholic. EWTN is also a good channel to watch if you are interested. All Christian denominations have far more in common than they realize, and we get caught up on stupid little things.

FR is not the best of places for learning about religious denominations, because we always get into fights because everyone is very brave behind a keyboard :) It actually brings out the worst in us, not the best.

I've gotta agree with you there, even I resemble that remark on occasion (oops.)

My Hispanic father-in-law and all his family were Catholic (most are now "socially" Mormon.) My Daughter-in-law is Catholic and from Guatemala, my son was baptised Catholic in order for them to be married(he's and atheist)....I'm always surprised how little they know about the Bible and even about the Mass. I've attended funeral mass for several relatives and I can tell you that from the outside, it is all rather strange and ungodly.

I will take your advice and read the Catechism and Pope Benedict's book.
