Catholics are Christians. Christians believe in God.

Hence....

Ummm.. as a Roman Catholic.. who was once an alter boy in a church.. for many years..

I would say.. most Catholics agree in unison to believe in God..

It's more about the principles underlying the teachings of Catholicism which draws most catholics..

The recent media campaign to stain Catholicism is very unjust considering that the catholic church with figures like Mother Theresa have done a lot of great things too.. not to mention that humanity was once medieval and uncivil.. and church teachings have certainly helped formalise civility ..

Alas.. we can't keep grasping onto unfounded concoctions.. eventually even Catholics will realise there must be a better way.. many Catholics like myself are seeing religions like Bhuddism as more rational.. and Religions like Judaism and Islam along with Catholicism are becoming unfavored..

But overall.. most Catholics.. especially the extremely misguided and mislead evangelicals.. DO vehemently believe in God.. but knowing them nad how many of them actually live.. I would say they do it for the social aspect more.. and for a common peace.

I am Catholic, We believe in God. After all it was Jesus Christ who told Peter that his church would be the rock to teach Jesus's faith (Christianity)...Peter was the Catholic church's first Pope!! Does that answer your question?

Actually all other faiths of Christianity are not really Christians if you believe what the Bible states. It states that anyone who changes the Holy Bible to their likings, by adding or removing text, will not be considered a Christian and banned from the kingdom of Heaven. This is why the Catholic Bible has 4 more books than other Christian Bibles.

Yes. Hindus, Sikhs, Muslims, Jews, All Christians (including CATHOLICS) all believe in "God". Now, the matter of which God or Gods is left for each to explain in it's own way. Which God are you talking about? Remember, God is a generic word that describes a concept and not a sepcific thing.

Belief in God is not enough. Jesus said at Matt. 7:21: "Not everyone saying to me `Lord, Lord,` will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will." Are Catholics doing God's will?

I know that we do.

We state this belief for all to hear in the Nicene Creed from 325 A.D., says:

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

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, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us and our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of 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. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. 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. Amen.

Our belief in God is also stated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/index.htm

With love in Christ.

If you are not Catholic, then what does it matter to you? I am amazed at all the nitpicking that so called religious believers in Christianity do to others. Believe what you choose and leave others to their religions. Picking them apart and condemning them is a waste of the universes time!

yes, of course. They dont go sit in a pew for nothing. Now, if others think they believe in God is a different question, but they believe in God.

At least doctrinally they believe in the Trinity; and in many of the other doctrines of the Scriptures.

Unfortuantely, though, they also seem to believe in the Traditions, according them at least equal status to the Scriptures.

So, those who believe do believe in God.
