CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
What do Catholics believe in?

The Apostles' Creed is a good break down of the Catholic Faith. Everything in there is Biblical. It's not every doctrine or aspect of theology, but it's a good place to start.

I agree with those who say, look at the catechism online it is littered with biblical references.
I have to turn the question on its head? What do you consider is not biblical?
At their core all doctrines can be traced back.
The problem is less what scripture says than what does scripture mean. If you look around the forum you will find many different opinions all of which they claim have biblical defence. For us we look back both to sacred tradition (the entire faith handed down through apostolic succession, long before there was a new testament, or before any could read or afford it!) and authority (the decisions of councils and magisterium) from which we determine what it means.
Others will tell you that calling Mary "queen" or that she can intercede for us is simply non biblical. Yet we can note the bible
1/ that Jesus was hailed as a davidic king and did his best to associate with that lineage so that the jews of the time would take meaning from it (Jesus emulated Solomon riding on a donkey)
2/ we see from OT that it was a matriarchal society, the mother (not spouse) of a davidic King was called "queen" and from scripture that the Solomon "gave her a throne, bowed to her" and said he would do "whatever she asks" and so has power of intercession.
3/ since Jesus's kingdom is heaven, Mary clearly has the honorary title "queen of heaven" all biblical.
4/ We see it enacted at Cana, Jesus did what Mary asked but said "what have you to do with me now, my time has not yet come" in essence saying not yet...Now Jesus's time has truly come.
If you read books such as staples "Behold your mother" you see all the marian doctrines supported.
