The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, It is really His Body, and it is the way in which He comes to each individual person in the world here and now. In other words, the Catholic Church is how God set it up for us to be saved, so the most important feature of it would be its Bishops and Priests, who are Christ's hands and feet; and the sacraments - administered by His Bishops and priests.

Quakers are not all of one kind, there are several different branches of Quakers, but their basic belief is that they can commune directly with the Holy Spirit and He will guide them into whatever He wishes, thus, though most Quakers show a respect for the Scriptures, they have no Creeds or Sacraments, and there is no uniform belief among them beyond waiting on the Spirit for individual guidance. Catholics see this guidance as set up by Christ in His Church, something rejected by Quakers.
