There are actually 4 pillars of the Catholic Church: the Creed, Sacraments/Liturgy, Life in Christ, and Prayer. As we try to closely follow the early Christians in their teaching and examples, the four pillars are based on Acts 2:42: "And they held steadfastly to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of the bread and to the prayers." The teaching of the apostles corresponds to the Creed, the fellowship and communal life corresponds to life in Christ, the breaking of the bread matches up with the Sacraments and Liturgy, and prayers with prayers. The Catechism of the Catholic Church follows these four pillars and the whole structure of the book is formed around them.
Creed - This constitutes knowing and understanding what the Catholic Church teaches.
Sacraments/Liturgy - Sacraments and Liturgy include the rites of the Church including the Sacraments, liturgical year, Liturgy of the Hours, and more. We should actively participate in both the Sacraments and Liturgy. The Eucharist should be the very center of Liturgical and Sacramental Life.
Life in Christ - Faith is meant to be lived and shared with others. We also need support from others who share the same beliefs and values so that we don't fall and lose our faith.
Prayer - An active prayer life is vital to having an active and vibrant faith. Prayer is what connects us to God. It is our lifeline. Some examples include the Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, and prayers that you make up on your own.

What part does the Roman Catholic Church play in all this?
Actually, there is no Roman Catholic Church. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church..That being said, the answer to your question is the Catholic Church's role in "all of this" is everything. God spoke and created the world (read Genesis 1:3) and His Word is Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ (read John 1:1-3). Now, the Catholic Church IS Jesus Christ, (read Acts 9:1-5, 1 Cor 12:12-14)..So the short answer to your question is that the Catholic Church's role is EVERYTHING, it is the only meaning that anyone's life in this world has, and without the Catholic Church - which is the Word of God: Jesus Christ's mystical Body - then nothing has any meaning.

in civil law: yes.in Church law: it depends. if it's a marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic, the marriage is only valid if these 3 conditions are consented to: 1) the Catholic is allowed to practice their faith unhindered, 2) their children are to be raised Catholic, and 3) the Catholic spouse must attempt to convert the non-Catholic spouse.if it's a marriage between 2 non-Catholics, I don't know.ANSWER:1. Why would 2 non-Catholics want to be married in the Catholic Church in the first place?And, if they do, then convert to the Catholic Faith.2. Proof of Catholic baptism & confirmation is required for at least ONE of the prospective spouses. The Church won't just "take your word for it."

What were 3 abuses of the Catholic Church as identified by Martin Luther in his 95 theses?
Well, to start off with, there is no "Roman Catholic Church." It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. . Secondly, the Catholic Church is just about twenty centuries old at this point, and in all those centuries, as the Catholic Church is composed entirely of sinners, saving Our Blessed Lord, and His Mother, there have been many abuses over the centuries, and they always seem to lead to criticisms, which in, and of, itself is a sin as bad as the abuses, in many cases. . Therefore to give an adequate answer to your question, you are going to have to narrow it down to a particular century or part of a century, and perhaps a continent, so as to receive a meaningful answer. I get the feeling that you are not looking for a complete explanation of the Donatist heresy in the early fourth century, but you might be. There are whole volumes written about each "abuse" and each "criticism", so you are going to have to be a whole lot more precise with your question.
