Catholics invented the idea.
The primary purpose of the Nicene Council was to adopt the Trinity and impose on it on everyone else at the point of a sword.
King James followed that practice and is the primary reason the vast majority of Christians follow a doctrine invented by a pagan Roman Emperor.
But, there is no biblical support for the concept. It has been established that bible passages relating to the Trinity were altered at a later time, most likely by the Catholic church.

Yes, they do. That is one of the foundations of the Catholic belief - The Holy Trinity. Hence the sign of the cross being the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Actually, I went to a Catholic School when I was younger called "Holy Trinity Catholic Middle School"

We Catholics did NOT invent the Trinity. Look at the Scriptures regarding the baptism of Jesus. The Father was there (Voice in the clouds) as was the Holy Spirit (as a dove) watching Jesus (the Son) being baptized.
And yes, we do believe in the Blessed Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Ghost/Spirit). Not 3 gods but ONE God.

Yes. You wanna know where the doctrine of the Trinity came from? Pagans who worshipped gods, godess & nature. The trinity is especially important in Ireland. For the Celts, the Catholic Trinity was another form of the Triple Goddess & God. In ancient pagan religions, most deities were seen as having 3 aspects: like maiden, mother & crone. So, this is a perfect example of Catholicism's Pagan roots.

last time i checked yes catholics believe in a trinity as all of christianity does but some sects say other wise about this since they dont really know so they go by the idea that the trinity is all one person with 3 sides of it self.
i am a pantheist and a researcher of beliefs in general

Yes they do, but they believe in the Virgen Mary and Saints. Catholics are different than the Protestant Movement. Most Protestant groups believe in the Trinity, but there are some that only believe in One.

Yes, of course we do.
"In order to be saved, all persons who have attained the use of reason must believe explicitly that God exist and that he rewards the good and punishes the wicked; in practice they must also believe in the mysteries of the Blessed Trinity and the Incarnation.
By the Blessed Trinity we mean one and the same God in three divine persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost."

Yes, of course. They are probably the most well know for it. The cross they make in the air in front of there head to midsection /heart area/chest during mass or ceremonies "In the name of the Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit"
