Yes.
Catholic AnswerYou will have to be more specific with your question. The Catholic Church is the only church which was founded by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, and it has NO denominations.
Of course not, being Catholic means that you are serious about following Jesus Christ in the only Church that He founded.
it was founded in the 1900s with no clear founder. The only church founded in 33AD is the Catholic Church. history and scriptures proves that. Seek it.
There is a little problem with your question. Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, founded the Catholic Church on the apostle Peter. It's not that Jesus WAS a Catholic, it is that the Catholic Church IS His Body. Furthermore, Catholic is NOT a denomination. The Catholic Church is the one and only Christian Church that Jesus founded and guaranteed. He send His Holy Spirit to guide it always. Thus there is nothing "beside" Catholic: Now, denominations are heresies, that is they are religious communities founded by individual men starting roughly 1,500 years after Our Blessed Lord left this earth. Denominations, thus, are man-made organizations, they are referred to as protestant as they were formed by people who were protesting the Christian Church that Christ founded. The reason there are so many of them is simple. Our Blessed Lord only founded one Church, guaranteed it, and guides it until the end of the world. The denominations are founded by individual men who are protesting something, they have no guarantees, and they can't even agree with each other, so they constantly multiply - this is one of the signs that they are not from God.
Worshiping the holy Lord in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church.Roman Catholic AnswerWhat I like most about belonging to the Catholic Church is that I am following my Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ in the only Church that He founded, outside of which there is no salvation.
Simple, it is the only Church that Jesus Christ founded, it is the only Church that Jesus Christ guaranteed, it is the only Church that Jesus Christ sent the Holy Spirit to guide always. It is the only Church that has been around since Jesus left the earth, and it is the only Church that Jesus put His Vicar in charge of and said that "he who hears you hears me." In short, it is HIS Church, His Body, and teaches HIS doctrine. ALL other "Churches" (saving the Orthodox) have been formed by individuals within the past five hundred years on their own beliefs, NOT on Jesus. And you can always know HIS Church, He said that everyone will hate you, which certainly only pertains to the Catholic Church, and one of the first centuries Christians, I think Ignatius wrote, where the Bishop is, there is the Catholic Church.
No, The Roman Catholic Church is the original Catholic Church. The Orthodox Church is not a "break-away" church. The only churches that broke away are the "Protestant" Churches. God be with you! If by 'original Catholic' you mean the original church founded by Jesus Christ and His Apostles, then most certainly yes, although there are some common beliefs.
Catholics are any who profess to believe in the teachings of the Catholic Church. Teachings of the Catholic Church are outlined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which is kind of like the Catholic Church's Constitution.
For the simple reason that Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ only founded one Church and promised to be with it until the end of the world. All other "churches" were founded much later in history by various men, not God, and are not guaranteed by Him, even if they claim the name Christian.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe only "power" that the Church has is that of her Blessed Lord. As it is His teachings that she proclaims, it is His power that she uses to uphold them.
Answer from a CatholicThe Catholic Church is the only Church which is NOT an apostate church. Apostate means to abandon beliefs, the Catholic Church is the only Church established by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, and guaranteed by the Holy Spirit. All other "Churches" have apostatized from the Catholic Church.
To be a Catholic is to be a member of the only church that was founded by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, Himself. To be a Catholic is to believe that Our Blessed Lord resides on earth, in His Church, in the tabernacle, in His priests and Bishops, and in every baptized person. To be a Catholic means that one is trying to attain the humility that is necessary to be saved.
