No, it cannot be understood or defined. There are so many different teachings popes through the ages have given that you can say the church believes or practices anything under the sun almost. One says one thing and another denies what the one before said. They are vicars of Christ so they are infallible
according to their tradition. It is a total contradiction to itself.

Roman Catholicism is the biggest cash grab in the history of humankind... along with every other religion.

The Roman Catholic Church is a Christian church in full communion with the Bishop of Rome, currently Pope Benedict XVI. It traces its origins to the original Christian community founded by Jesus and spread by the Twelve Apostles, in particular Saint Peter.
The worldwide Catholic Church looks to the Pope, alone or along with the College of Bishops, as their highest authority on earth for matters of faith, morals and church governance.

To put it really simply it's a religion that calls itself christian, but when you take a close look at it it really isn't, cause many of it's teachings actually contradict the bible.

The Bible describes it in the Book of Revelation as the whore that sets upon the seven hills.

It is heathenism. Practically everything that YHVH told us to do, "Catholicism" does the opposite.
