Is it normal that i am catholic but i don't really believe? I sometimes believe but doubts always take over! IIN?
You cannot truly belive without doubting I also call myself Christian ( which is both my name and religion ) even though i have not read the whole bible and dont follow any "rules" other than the law and my own.
Catholics are taught many lies and I think that you should read the Bible and see for yourself. We aren't supposed to pray to idols and yet there are many statues in Catholic churches.
It depends what you mean by "doubt". It's very common to struggle to understand something, or not quite get how something could make sense. Faith is about the attitude you take toward the things you can't prove. Faith is literally giving God the benefit of the doubt. That can take a lot of practice, because it means giving up control. It doesn't mean you're acting stupid; it just means that you trust the parts you don't fully get yet. If it's something you go back and forth on, then you're trying to have faith, and that's a good thing.
Well you clearly aren't Catholic if you don't truly believe. Maybe a Christian Agnostic?
There is nothing wrong with not believing, so why do you want to call yourself a catholic?
It is normal to have doubts from time to time of your own religion. I deal with that myself, being Lutheran by teaching, but considering myself agnostic at the moment. It is hard to know what to believe!
Well the pope believes in evolution and he's catholic.
So obviously if you are of that religion then must agree on the main person (supposedly he's closest to god!)
Therefore the bible is wrong so you mus not be 'religious' as such.
If you believe in god but want to question this by finding more personal proof, then you may be agnostic.
I always say that agnostics should be atheists. Because even atheists agree that they will believe too if there was enough evidence. Of which there is zero evidence in god.
Do note that all this religion is stated officially as myth.

Unless you'd like to show me proof otherwise?
