It is bad if you get a nose pierce if your catholic?
Talk to a Sister or Father and see what they have to say about it, then make up your own mind based on theinformation you get. It comes down to your personal feelings and beliefs, is it bad to have pierced ears and be a Catholic? It comes down to your values and beliefs and personal feelings, "faith" doesn't care what you do, it's what you believe and hold to be true to you and only you. From what I know, I think that it is against the Catholic faith to have any body piercings but as the other answerer said, I think it would be best to speak to the person in charge of your church and find out.

How could be a Catholic be a Christian when Catholics are unknown during the time of Jesus Christ and the Apostles?
In actual fact, no church denomination, let alone Catholics, were around at the time of Jesus and his apostles! The early church began in peoples' homes before spreading, growing and moving from the immediate area. Only then, a few hundred years later, were church buildings established and the 'Church' established as an organisation. 'Catholic' simply means 'universal' and so, in a sense the catholic (with a small 'c') church has been there since the beginning. However, after the Great Schism where the eastern Orthodox Church split from the Universal Church, and after the Reformation, with the formation of the Protestant Churches, the then 'catholic' church could not claim to be 'universal' and so the name Roman Catholic is now applied to that church, or sometimes Catholic (with a large 'C') for short. One cannot judge others for not being Christian, for that in itself would be an unChristian act and against Christ's teaching. However, there are many who believe that the Roman Catholic Church has moved away from the church as it began 2000 years ago, with the adoption, over the centuries, of non-biblical doctrines such as the over-adulation of Mary, infallibility of the Pope, purgatory, praying to saints, veneration of relics and so on. That said though, the Catholic Church holds dear the teachings of Christ, accepts Jesus Christ as Lord, worships the Trinitarian God, and upholds the Creed set down by the early church to avoid heresy, and therefore is as Christian as any other church denomination including Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists and so on. Do not confuse the beliefs of the Catholic Church, though, with pseudoChristian sects such as the Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses, as the Catholic Church holds the mainstream beliefs of Christianity although it has regrettably added a few of its own (as have Baptists, Methodists and Anglicans for that matter!!). The Mormons and JWs do not regard Jesus as divine and have their own very unorthodox beliefs that are so different to the Christian Church as to render them pseudoChristian sects rather than Christian Churches.
What do you call the beliefs that have been taught by the church and passed down to us by word and custom and example?
Those beliefs are typically referred to as "traditions" within the context of the church. They are teachings, practices, or rituals that are handed down from generation to generation within a religious community.
What was the name of the meeting were called to address the goal of the catholic reformation?
There technically is no "Roman" Catholic Church, the Catholic Church has been around for twenty centuries and has had dozens of ecumenical councils in that time. You would have to narrow it down to a specific time period.

Were there any consequences to Henry VIII changing the religion?
There was great upheaval between the Catholics and the newly formed Church of England. A very large majority of the kingdom was Catholic before Henry 8th's split with the Catholic Church. All of a sudden, many Catholics were pressured to conform to the new religion. Many of the new believers in the Church of England were shown favoritism by certain aspects of the King's laws, etc. It boiled down to a lack of respect for another persons religious beliefs.
