RE: Who Do Catholics Pray to? The Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit?

It's a trick question. They pray to God, who isn't necessarily any of the persons.

Technically, it's only ever possible for Christians to encounter God's Holy Spirit. You never actually *see* God, hear Him, or feel Him. Instead, your mind manifests His divine spiritual energy into something you can perceive, which can be anything.

Your mind might even manifest His divine energy as our Mother of Sorrows (one of God's helpers), it's really not specific.
 

RE: Who Is Christ? Is He God or God's Son?

Christ is one of God's personified attributes (the Word of God), so he *is* God and *is also* distinct from God. He offers his suffering on earth to God eternally, particularly on the cross, for the forgiveness of sins.

The idea is that suffering has value in some way, and so it can be offered for a particular intention, whatever that is. Christ's intention was that God would forgive us, and so we ask God for forgiveness based on his merits.

He is God's son, but it's metaphorical. God's son is only defined by being the Word of God, which is God. If God did truly have a son who was also a god, we would be bitheist instead of monotheist, so it doesn't work that way.
 

RE: Is God One or Three?

The Christian God is the Blessed Trinity, which is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

It's a sacred mystery so it isn't explained, but basically each of them is fully God (as opposed to 1/3 of God) without there being three Gods... In other words, Jesus Christ or "the Son" is the creator of heaven and earth in his entirety, and so is the Father, and so is the Holy Ghost.

I recommend just focusing on Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary, since they're the main figures of the faith.
