1.Countries of origin
Italy

2.Historical figures and events
Various popes. Existence of certain book characters not verified as real (e.g. Jesus). Primary events were formalizing of (one version of) the bible in 400ce or so (Constantine, council of Nicea), followed by much slaying of heretics and campaigns against Islam oveer the next 1000 years, and later genocidal attacks on american aboriginals..

3.Central Beliefs
You are going to hell
No you aren't
Yes you are
No you aren't
(It's a multiplicity of sects thing)

4.Nature of God
Angry and vengeful sky-god who acts like a psycho ruler ca 3000bce might have. Hmmmm

5.Texts
Inconsistent list - Bible is not canonical as there are many varieties and within those, multiple translations. Most follow the teachings of Jack T Chick.

6.Ritual and practices
From no special practices to constant proselytizing.

7.Ethics and morality
Depending on the sect, these can be quite strong, or utterly pathetic. Much variation from person to person and from sect to sect.

1. Israel, specifically, the regions of Galilee and Judea.
2. Uh- JESUS, His entire life- specifically His Passion, death and resurrection; also His disciples, who became the first to spread his Gospel.
3. One God in Three Persons, Jesus the Son was sent by God the Father to bring the wayward back into line with God's desire for them- to be with Him in Heaven.
4. God is the Almighty Creator of all, the Uncaused Cause; God does only good and all that is good comes from God.
5. The Holy Bible, the catechism of the Catholic Church aids in interpretation of the Bible, along with the teaching authoirty of the Church.
6. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, which is the highest form of worship; a prayer life consisting of daily prayer.
7. Can be summed up in Jesus teaching: Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself.

I agree with the first answer. You have quite a long question here that will take quite a while to answer. If you really and truly want to know all of this you will look into it on your own.

You need to go to another site and research and do your homework yourself rather than trying to get others to do it for you dear.
