Catholic roots?

[Jim47]

Can anyone give me just a very brief over view of how the Catholic church was started? And I am aware of the passage they use when Jesus said on this Rock I will build my church. I'm more interested what happened after that. Nothing detailed is necessary.
Thanks

I doubt I ought to post my opinions about how the Catholic Church was started here :P .

God bless you all!

In Christ,

Jim, I don't mean to intrude, but if you wish to learn more about this from a Catholic perspective, feel free to ask us in OBOB :)

God Bless.

I don't think you'll offend us too greatly. We're hard to offend. ;)

Peter's confession that Jesus is the Christ is the rock, that's what my catechesis instructor says

Are you asking about Roman Catholicism as a denomination, or about the Church catholic?

The latter is traced to the Day of Pentecost, considered by most to be the birthday of the Christian Church, but can even be traced to Genesis 3:15 with the first promise of the Messiah. The true "religion" of the Old Testament is known as "Yahwism" and is actually pre-incarnate Christianity.

As for Roman Catholicism, most point to the times when the Bishop of Rome was claiming supreme authority over Christendom, which led to the Great Schism between eastern (Greek) and western (Roman) Christians. The "Roman Catholic Church" can be traced to the schism. The Roman Catholic Church as it exists today is traceable to the Council of Trent in the 16th century.
