The Catholic Church believes that the Bible is not the only authority. Their teachings include such documentaion as Catechisms, and Papal Encyclicals (defined as "authoritative teaching instruments from the Vicar of Christ" (the Pope)) which have been written throughout the years of the history of the Catholic Church.
Because of this, the Catholic Church has many teachings, beliefs, and traditions that are different from a Christian who believes the Holy Bible is the exclusive authority of Christianity.
To the best of my knowledge, a Baptist is one of those churches who believes the Holy Bible to be the only authority, and no other documentation.

Baptists don't believe in Mary, being so powerful and a figure in the church as much as the Catholics..Also the Catholic have stricter rules, and celibrations, like baptisim at birth, (some baptists do that too) first communion, and getting confirmed... Catholics have stricter rules, and a higer standerd of beliefs, I'm an Ex-Catholic, gone Baptist and that all I can tihnk of for the moment. I'm sorry, I hoped I helped, Jack.
