How did Christianity become orthodox or Catholic?
The Church of Christ was founded by the Holy Apostles on the First Pentecost. That Church was Orthodox (Right believing, Right worshipping) and Catholic (Universal). The Church of Christ-wherever people were converted to it, was Orthodox, until 1054, when the West (Western Europe) split from the Orthodox Church due to different issues, but mainly revolving around the novel claim of the Popes that they had more power than did all the other Bishops of the Church. As time went on, the church in the West became known as "the Roman Catholic Church," the True Church of Christ in the East as the "Orthodox Church," usually modified by the region of the Church being spoken of - "Greek Orthodox Church," "Russian Orthodox Church," etc. In light of the belief of the Orthodox Church that it is the True Church of Christ, and therefore, True Christianity, "Christianity" did not "become Orthodox or Catholic," but always was, and still is Orthodox; Roman Catholics are an organization that adopted incorrect beliefs about the Church and about Christ from the 9th century on; once being identical, by the 20th century, the gulf had widened greatly, with Roman Catholic belief becoming very far away, indeed, from the beliefs of Orthodox Christianitythe True Church of Christ, the only Genuine Christianity.

How did some areas like Bosnia gain large populations of Muslims?
The early centuries of Christianity were marked by division between the two major branches known today as proto-Catholic-Orthodox and Gnostic Christianity. Gradually, the well-organised Catholic-Orthodox gained the upper hand, especially after Constantine adopted that faith. Unlike the Catholic-Orthodox branch, Gnosticism was inherently fragmented, with new sects developing as beliefs evolved. In the tenth century, a Bulgarian priest, Bogomil, preached in his homeland a Gnostic faith that by the eleventh and twelfth centuries had spread to other Balkan countries and to Asia Minor. After 1180, the Orthodox Serbs became the dominant regional force and drove the Bogomils westward to Dalmatia and Bosnia, where it became the state religion and continued until the Turkish occupation in the fifteenth century. At this point, tired of centuries of persecution by Orthodox Christians, many Bogomils converted to Islam.
