At the very foundation of the Church in Rome, the Christians had an uphill battle in order to win the hearts and minds of the Romans. One virtue that the Church had was that its members were engaged in selfless acts of charity for the poor. They would feed, clothe, and generally take care of those in Roman society that were neglected. The appeal to a saving Lord who would rescue them from sin and lead them into a new life was far greater than that of the Roman pantheon which included gods that bickered and fought pointless battles and cared nothing for mere mortals. Thus, over time, and with a lot of resistance, the Catholic Church helped common people and the poor who became its first and greater members.

The rise of the Roman Catholic Church?
A: First, as a Catholic, I take issue with the term "Roman Catholicism" or "Roman Catholic." That term did not come into existence until the Protestant Reformation. The term was created by Protestants to describe The Catholic Church. Earliest use of the term was the 16th Century. The Catholic Church Herself does not accept this "qualifier."Example 1: The Catechism of The Catholic Church is not titled: The Catechism of The Roman Catholic Church. There's a reason for that -- such a title would be theologically inaccurate and misleading.Example 2: when referring to The Orthodox Church, we do not call Her The Russian Church or The Greek Church. To do so is inaccurate and dismissive/insulting because The Orthodox Church does not describe Herself by such "qualifiers."Technically, there is no such thing as "the Roman Catholic Church."Second: therefore, the answer to your question is: The Catholic Church "rose" -- came into actual/official existence -- at Pentecost.
