I'm not sure that the Catholic Church has any official definition of spirituality. I suspect if you asked a theologian (professional religion teacher or expert) what "Spirituality" means, he or she would probably reach for an ordinary dictionary for the definition. It's just not a word used that much in Catholic intellectual circles, at least that I am aware of. Why don't you rephrase and re-post the question like this.: "This is what I mean when I use the word "spirituality": (fill in the blanks). What word would a Catholic theologian or teacher use to describe that sort of thing?" I suspect you would get a more informative answer that way. Spirituality is just not a word used very often when discussing things Catholic.

Are orthodox parishioners Catholic?

They depends on whether you meant to capitalize Orthodox or not. The Orthodox Church is not Catholic, they split from the Catholic Church officially in the 12th century. If you orthodox as believing in the Church doctrines, then that is the only kind of parishioner that is a real Catholic. Anyone who is not orthodox in his belief, is by definition, heterodox, otherwise known as a protestant, even if they still maintain nominal membership in the Catholic Church.

Do jews believe in the chaolic god?

If you were to search both a Jewish Encyclopedia and a Catholic Encyclopedia under the heading of God, you will immediately notice that the Jewish definition of God is not the same definition for God as predisposed by the Roman Catholic Church. Semantically speaking, Jews do not believe in the Roman Catholic God because most Jews do not subscribe to Roman Catholic Doctrine of the Trinity nor do the Roman Catholic Church subscribe to Judaism's definition of the Sovereign One.
