Judaism was, of course, the belief in Judaea and in the Jewish communities worldwide. There were the cults of Isis, Mithras and Cybele, among other local cults in various parts of the empire.

How the Church assert control throughout the late Roman and medieval church?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church's mission as always been to be Christ to the world, and bring the people to Christ. She has never sought to "control" anything. Individuals, some quite sinful, have, over the centuries, sought control in one way or another, and there have been efforts by the church, for instance the Roman Inquisition, where the Church has sought to control heresy for the good of the people who were adversely affected. There have been some Popes who were a scandal to the Church, and for many centuries, the Vatican, by default, was the only government in Rome. Still and all, the church, for the main, has always been a servant, the "Bride of Christ."

Who the founder of the roman Catholic religions in his world?

Jesus Christ founded the Roman Catholic Church in this world. However, it was actually instituted (physically brought into existence) by St. Peter whom Christ gave a special mission to. If you look at Matthew 16:18, you'll see that Christ gives authority to Peter to found His Church. Peter took this mission to Rome, which was the center of the government, culture, and commerce at his time and he decided to found the church there. Thus the church is called the Roman Catholic Church.
