Default Please help me compare AND contrast Catholic(ism) to Sikhism...?

I need three to five similarities and differences between the Catholic religion and the Sikhism Religion. It can be about their way of worship, place of worship, attitude, and beliefs.

CATHOLICISM:Catholicism was founded By Jesus Christ.

SIKHISM:Sikhism, founded on the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev and ten successive Sikh Gurus.

CATHOLICISM:The holy book of the Catholic Christians is the Holy Bible.

SIKHISM: The Sikhs holy book is the Guru Granth Sahib

CATHOLICISM:The Catholic faith has the 7 Sacraments:

Baptism, Confirmation , Holy Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony."

SIKHISM: has something known as the 4 K's:

Kesh, Kaacha, Kirpan and Kanga Oswell as Kara?

CATHOLICISM:Christianity originated from the word Christos which means the anointed one. Christian means Christ like.
Christianity, an Abrahamic, monotheistic, religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.

SIKHISM: originated from the word Sikh, which in turn comes from the Sanskrit root sis ya meaning "disciple" or "learner", or skis meaning "instruction".

CATHOLICISM: Catholics pray in a Church.Worship in a Church is done by way of the Holy Mass, where there are readings, singing of hymns, followed by Gospel readings,an offering of bread and wine is given, then there is the Breaking of the Bread (the commemoration of the death of Jesus) , followed by the Lord's Prayer (Our Father) , receiving of the Holy Eucharist , and a blessing at the end.

SIKHISM:Sikhs pray in a groupware.
Worship in a gurdwara consists chiefly of singing of passages from the scripture. Sikhs will commonly enter the temple, touch the ground before the holy scripture with their foreheads, and make an offering.

CATHOLICISM:The Sacred place of the Catholics is Israel where Jesus was born lived suffered died and rose.The Basilica of St. John Lateran is known as the mother Church.

SIKHISM:The most sacred shrine is the Harimandir Sahib in Amritsar, famously known as the Golden Temple.

CATHOLICISM:Catholic feasts include Christmas: which celebrates the birth of Jesus Which is marked by the season of Advent.

Resurrection Sunday (Feast of the Passover/Easter). Which is marked by the season of Lent. During the season of Lent Catholics observe fasting and penance.

Catholics also commemorate the Passion and death of Jesus by way of the Holy week which falls in the Lenten season. It starts from Palm Sunday and is followed by Holy Thursday i.e Commemoration of the Last supper and washing of the feet, Good Friday i.e. The death of Jesus and Holy Saturday. The Passion week ends with the Feast of Easter i.e the Resurrection of Jesus.

SIKHISM:Sikh festivals include the following:

* Gurpurabs ,* Vaisakhi or Baisakhi , *Bandi Chhor Divas or Diwali , * Hola Mohalla .

The only similarity would be that Sikhs worship one universal god which is the same tenant as that of Catholics.
