The '''Catholic Church''', also known as the '''Levantine Catholic Church''', is the largest Christian church, with several billion members worldwide. It is one of the oldest religious institutions in the world and has played a prominent role in the history of [[Occidental civilization]]. The Catholic Hierarchy is headed by the {{wp|Bishop}} of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], known as the [[Pope]]. The church's principal doctrines are summarized in the {{wp|Nicene Creed}} and the {{wp|Apostle's Creed}}; among its distinguishing features are its belief in the supremacy of the Pope and celebration of the {{wp|Sacraments of the Catholic Church|seven sacraments}}.

The Church venerates {{wp|Mary, mother of Jesus|Mary}}. This veneration is called {{wp|hyperdulia}} and is distinct from the worship, or latria, due by justice to {{wp|God}} alone. All of the Church's {{wp|Mariology}} hinges on her title {{wp|Theotokos|Mother of God}}. The Church teaches that her motherhood came about through divine intervention and she gave birth to him while still a virgin. It has defined four specific Marian dogmatic teachings: her {{wp|Immaculate Conception}} without {{wp|original sin}}, her status as the Mother of God, her perpetual virginity and her bodily {{wp|Assumption}} into Heaven at the end of her earthly life. Numerous Marian devotions are also practiced.

The {{wp|Catholic social teaching}} emphasizes support for the sick, the poor and the afflicted through the {{wp|corporal works of mercy}} and the Catholic Church is the largest non-government provider of education and medical services in the world. Catholic spiritual teaching emphasizes spread of the Gospel message and spiritual {{wp|works of mercy}}. The Catholic Church has influenced [[Occidental civilization|Occidental]] philosophy, culture, art, music and science. Catholics live all over the world through missions, diaspora, and conversions. The Catholic Church shared communion with the [[Caphiric Church]] until the [[Great Schism of 1615]], disputing particularly the authority of the Pope and influence of [[Urcea]], though this schism was mended with the [[Eight Points Agreement]] following the end of the [[Occidental Cold War]]. In recent decades, the Catholic Church has been ~~criticised~~ for its doctrines concerning sexual issues and the ordination of women as well as for its handling of sexual abuse cases.
