Catholics believe that Jesus perfomed miracles while on Earth, such as walking on water, expelling demons, and raising the dead. Christians believe Jesus also performed the ultimate miracle in saving all humankind, becoming its Savior. He founded the Catholic Church and instituted (both explicitly and implicitly) all seven sacraments. He is also the second person in the Holy Trinity-as God the Son. God the Son is just as much God as God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
Although Christians, Jews, and Muslims all believe in one God (the same one, actually), Christians believe in a Triune God - one God in three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), usually called the Holy Trinity. The mystery of the Holy Trinity is how there can be three persons, but not three Gods. Catholics don't view the Trinity as three seperate gods, but as three persons in a single God.
