I presume you are talking about the 'Roman Catholic Church' made up of congregations entirely in union with the pope. There are thousands of Catholic parishes in California. There are a number of churches that call themselves Catholic but that are not - The American Catholic Church, The American Charismatic Catholic Church, for example, which do not recognize the pope as the leader of the Church.

What is a Catholic person?
Catholics are any who profess to believe in the teachings of the Catholic Church. Teachings of the Catholic Church are outlined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is kind of like the Catholic Church's Constitution.
Do Catholics or Mormons have the most adherents?
Catholics by far have more membership than the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) or any other Christian group. In fact, almost half of all people who claim to be Christian are Catholic. There are over 1.2 billion Catholics in the world (17% of the population), and 14.5 million Mormons (0.2% of the population).
What type of Christian prays at a chapel?
any kind, I think save Catholics who have mass instead of chapel, but I know no other word for a church building save 'church' so I could be wrong, and as far as I know Catholics refuse to pray in a protestant church but it doesn't hurt my feelings.
How many masses were celebrated in the Catholic and Christian Churches?
You are being redundant. Catholics are theoriginal Christian Church. Catholics celebrate Mass every day of the year with the exception of Good Friday. At any given moment a Mass is being said somewhere in the world.
Are there any links to Catholics being Sadducess or Pharisees?
No, there are no links. Sadducees and Phaisees were enemies of the early Christian Church and did all they could to try to destroy it.
What is the name of the true church?
The true church is a body of believers and not a building made of stone and mortar. Jesus came to build His church, which is a spiritual church made up of all true believers in Him. It is not any denomination of believers such as Baptists or Catholics or Pentecostals, but all who have put their faith and trust in Him as Lord and Savior, so I guess you would say their name is Christian, from any Christian denomination.
Do Catholics recognize the Prophet Mohammed as a prophet?
No, Mohammed is not recognized as a prophet by Catholics or any other Christian religion.
Do Catholics send the Pope letters about their Wedding Night?
Definitely not. Catholics are not obligated to give any church official details about their wedding night, nor would any church official be interested.
Could any denomination of Christian receive Holy Communion in the Catholic Church?
Catholicism is classified as a form of Christianity. Catholics are Christians. So yes, a Christian can have communion in a Catholic church.Actually, only Catholic Christians are able to receive the Eucharist (communion) in the Catholic Church. Any Christian may come up for a blessing from the priest however since Catholics believe that when they receive communion they are receiving the true Body and Blood of Christ they also believe that you can't receive unless you are in a state of grace. The only way to be in a state of grace is having been to confession/reconciliation a sacrament of the Catholic Church that is not practiced in any other Christian based Religion..Catholic AnswerOf course any Christian who is a member of the Church, has received their first Holy Communion, and is in a state of grace (has been to Confession recently) may receive Holy Communion in the Church. IF you are using the word "Christian" to refer to separated brethren (protestants), then, no.
Does the catholic religion have any difference to the chrisyian religion?
The Catholic religion is the original Christian religion. All other Christian denominations can trace their roots back to the Catholic Church. Since there are about 33,000 Protestant denominations, it would be impossible here to discuss all the differences.
Do non-Catholics have to convert to marry in the Roman Catholic Church?
No, they do not have to convert. However, they do have to agree to raise any children as Catholics.
Will the Catholic Church kill the real Christians?
The Catholic church believes in just wars and has indeed waged holy ones called crusades against many non-Catholics who it despised and considered "infidels". The Roman Catholic Church believes in peace and harmony and will not harm any other Christian or any other religion.
