Question
What are the main texts of the Catholic faith other then the bible?

Answer
Nothing is as authoritative as Sacred Scripture, as that is inspired.  Other works that are important in understanding Scripture and the teaching of Christ are the works of the early Church Fathers, the Doctors of the Church, the Saints, councils, and popes.
