The Catholic Church has many more than just six things to teach human beings. But how about this as a start, from the Nicene Creed (from the year 325):
(1) We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
(4) We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
(5) We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
(6) We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

With love in Christ.

The Catholic Church has more than six teachings. And many of them are lies. Even a cursory reading of the New Testament will reveal that the Catholic Church does not have its origin in the teachings of Jesus, or His apostles. In the New Testament, there is no mention of the papacy, worship / adoration of Mary (or the immaculate conception of Mary, the perpetual virginity of Mary, the assumption of Mary, or Mary as co-redemptrix and mediatrix), petitioning saints in Heaven for their prayers, apostolic succession, the ordinances of the church functioning as sacraments, infant baptism, confession of sin to a priest, purgatory, indulgences, or the equal authority of church tradition and Scripture.
The Catholic Church is the mother of apostate Christianity.
