Yes.
Some Bible verses that reference "guardian" angels are:
See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father. (Matthew 18:10)
When the poor man died, he was carried away by angels to the bosom of Abraham. (Luke 16:22)
The angel of the LORD, who encamps with them, delivers all who fear God. (Psalms 34:7)
No evil shall befall you, no affliction come near your tent.
For God commands the angels to guard you in all your ways.
With their hands, they shall support you, lest you strike your foot against a stone. (Psalms 91:10-12)
If then there be for him an angel, one out of a thousand, a mediator, To show him what is right for him and bring the man back to justice, He will take pity on him and say, "Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found him a ransom." (Job 33:23-24)
Then the angel of the Lord spoke out and said, "O LORD of hosts, how long will you be without mercy for Jerusalem and the cities of Judah that have felt your anger these seventy years?" (Zechariah1:12)
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 336, states: From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care and intercession. "Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life." Already here on earth the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men united in God.
Prayer to your Guardian Angel:
Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
To whom God's love
commits me here,
Ever this day,
be at my side,
To light and guard,
Rule and guide.
Amen.

Well, generally speaking, we believe angels exist and that there are different levels of angels each with different jobs. There's no harm in "talking to" angels and believing in them, because they're creatures created by God and are simply on a different plane of existance, but you're not supposed to pray to them. Angels are not deities.

No, but they do believe in guardian angels. They do believe that you can talk to your guardian angel and ask them for help and protection when you need them.
Not just any regular angel.

I think they believe everyone is SUPPOSED to talk to them.
Don't forget, Catholics do everything EXCEPT what the Bible says, and everything NOT in the Bible.
