They are reported to kiss their idols' feet. They are reported to pray to dead saints. They are reported to place a fee on almost everything. It had controversies with altar boys. They claim to be the church that God established on earth. They killed lot of pagans who denied a conversion to Christianity. Their current leader, the Pope, was a Nazi.

Confirmation:
Confirmation is a Catholic sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. Like Baptism and Eucharist, it is a Sacrament of Initiation for Catholics and a Sacrament of faith in God's fidelity to us.

Anointing of the Sick:
The anointing of the sick is administered to bring spiritual and even physical strength during an illness, especially near the time of death. It is most likely one of the last sacraments one will receive.

Holy Orders:
Holy Orders in the Catholic Church includes three orders: bishop, priest, and deacon.

Confirmation: Basically an oath taken to swear obedience to the Catholic Church and its beliefs.

Anointing the sick: Use of Holy oils and prayers on the sick in hopes of curing them

Holy Orders: Different sub-sects of the Catholic Church, often focusing on certain specific causes or methodologies... for examples, go ogle "Sisters of Mercy" or "Jesuits". It's like joining a club in school... you all go to the same school, but there might be a football team, a chess club, a band, etc.... Sorta the deal with the Catholics. Same church, different club.

EDIT: As for the pope being a Nazi... he is old, and he is German. He was a member of the "Hitler Youth Brigade," not technically a full-blown Nazi, as he was a child at the time. What that means exactly is up for interpretation. Personally, I have plenty of disagreements with the Catholic way of things, but his involvement was at an early age, probably influenced by his parents, and it was a long time ago. That's not to stick up for the man, but just to put things into perspective.
