What does the Roman Catholic Church believe?
I will answer that directly and with authority.
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, of all things visible and invisible.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
That is exactly what all Catholics believe.
Anything else they may believe or practice within the very rich and ancient Church tradition is a matter of seasoning to taste. Not all Catholics pay much attention to various of the other Church traditions, but all Catholics believe
