In part, it did. However, those people were also especially and supernaturally empowered to tell others about Jesus, and thus to spread the message upon which the Church is based. That is to say, God had a direct hand in the formation of the Church. The account can be accessed in The Bible at Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2, particularly the first 4 verses.

Most people would not disagree with following the moral teachings of the Church. They are much the same as those of Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and so on.

Martin Luther.Catholic AnswerI hate to disagree but nobody broke away from the Catholic Church AND thought that Church teachings should be more accessible to the people. People who broke away from the Church did so because they disagree with and couldn't live according to Church teachings, NOT because they thought they should be more accessible. Martin Luther is a prime example of someone who broke away from the Catholic Church precisely BECAUSE he couldn't live with Church teachings and failed to try.

Luther's teachings tore many people away from the Church due to the rulers who wanted to be free of constraints they were under in the Catholic Church. When a prince apostatised from the faith, his people better go with him! Luther's teachings did spark the counter-Reformation which caused a flowering of religious vocations, new religious orders, and great fervor in the Catholic people.

Is it important to follow the churches teachings everyday?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. The Church exists as Christ's Body to lead people to heaven. So "church teachings" are actually the teachings of Jesus Christ.
