Outwardly there are similarities, but Catholics are just as ridiculous as fundamentalists except that they follow the Vatican instead of the Bible. That would be o.k. if the Vatican gave instructions based on common sense, but they use logic to extrapolate from the Bible and early Church instructions. That's almost worse than being a Fundamentalist IMO.
I've said it before: catholics are the cherry-picking champions. They do that with everything, including science. They only pick the parts that don't contradict their ideas and mend them into a one big steaming pile of nonsense.
