Best Answer

Christianity was 'formed' after Jesus Christ rose. This was based inJerusalem but moved to Rome later. It was always Roman Catholicism. Other Christian denominations broke away from Rome and this is what then made it different from them - Greek and other froms of Orthodox, and the various Protestant Churches - Lutheran, Methodist, Baptist, Anglican etc. So the answer to your question is that Roman Catholicism has been around since the death of Christ.

33 a.d when it was known as the Suburbicarian Church of Rome, a particular church within the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church!

and renewed again in 1564 at the Council of Trent when it broke with Holy Tradition giving more power and authority to the pope over the bishops!

Catholic AnswerFirst a few things. There is NO "Roman Catholic denomination." "Roman" was a slang term first in common use in England after the protestant revolt, it has never been used by the Catholic Church. Second, there is no such thing as a "Catholic denomination." Denomination is a term invented by protestants as a way of working around the fact that they are actually 30,000 different religions.

The Catholic faith was started by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, on His Apostle, St. Peter:

St. Matthew 16:17-19:

And Jesus answering, said to him [Peter]: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of @#!*% shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

The Church was considered to have been born from the side of Christ when the soldier opened his side with a lance and blood and water flowed out. It was formally started at Pentecost, fifty days later, when the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles to confirm them in all truth and lead them to preach to and baptize all nations.

The Catholic Church dates from about the year 33 AD at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples and inspired them to start spreading the Good News given them by Our Lord.
