The Roman Catholic faith is a branch of Christianity that follows the teachings of Jesus Christ as interpreted by the Pope and the Catholic Church. It emphasizes the importance of the sacraments, which are sacred rituals believed to convey God's grace. Key sacraments include Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. Central to Roman Catholic belief is the concept of the Holy Trinity, which consists of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. Catholics also honor the Virgin Mary and the saints, seeking their intercession in prayer. The faith is guided by the Bible and the traditions of the Church.
