We believe that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all God
The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons, the "consubstantial Trinity". The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire: "The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, i.e. by nature one God." In the words of the Fourth Lateran Council (1215), "Each of the persons is that supreme reality, viz., the divine substance, essence or nature." RCC

Yes.
Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity.
The doctrine of the Holy Trinity states there is one true God who is made up of three separate but equal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The Bible does not contain the word Trinity. However, the Holy Trinity is hinted at repeatedly in both the Old and New Testaments. For many biblical references, see: http://www.cwo.com/~pentrack/catholic/Trinity.txt
Under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the early Christians prayed and struggled over these hints for a couple of centuries. The concept of the Holy Trinity (three equal persons in one God) was mainstream Christianity in 325 C.E. at the Council of Nicaea and our belief is expressed in the Nicene Creed.
How this works is not fully known and is one the Christian mysteries.
The doctrine of the Holy Trinity is shared by most Christian denominations including Roman and Orthodox Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Pentecostals, Episcopalians, and the Salvation Army.
For more information, see Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 232 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt1sect2chpt1art1p2.htm#232
With love in Christ.

Jesus is both God & the Son of God.
Catholics believe in the Holy Trinity; that the one God reveals Himself in three manifestations of Divinity. The first is God the Father, the second is Christ Jesus, the third is the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is considered God as the Son of God (second person of the trinity). Son of God implies and indicates a share in the Divine Nature just as a son of human parents implies and indicates a share in human nature. But Jesus is not God all by Himself, yet remains totally God as one God by equally sharing the Divinity with the first and third persons of the trinity. All three persons equally share the Divine Nature as ONE God.

Jesus used the title "the Son of Man" for himself about 60 times in the Gospels. "The Son of Man" is a divine figure in the book of Daniel.

Both...
Here is how it was explained to me.
First you have God... the Creator of all things...
Then you have Jesus, the Son of God who is also God in the flesh. It is how he came down to walk among us.
Finally, the Holy Spirit... which is also God. It's like His Spirit watching over and guiding us.
i know, it's over simplified and not a perfect explanation, but it's how it was explained to me.

This is why Catholicism (As I was in the past) has caused many to stumble..the trinity doctrine tries to explain what is easily understood in Judaism. God is Creator...He is Spirit and He Himself has saved (Yeshua). A son is considered as the same as the father in the Hebrew mindset of that time.
