Catholicism started ages ago when Jesus lived on this land. He was a JEw but the was baptized into the Catholic church and told his disciples to sread the word of GOD before he died for us at the cross. They did so and the word reached all ends of this Earth.
I'm sorry but Answers.com is meant for short, concise answers. It would take many volumes of an encyclopedia to answer your request. That is way beyond the scope of this service. For a brief time line of the history of the Roman Catholic Religion see the link below. The second link is Amazon, which contains a concise encyclopedia history.
Jesus Christ made the Catholic religion. That is why the Ctholic religion is so special. Every other religion was made by some other man, but the Catholic religion was made by the Son of God. Now if you believe in Jesus or not, it's proven he was real, the only thing people have troubles with is his powers and miracles. Now a very good reason to believe in Him is because all his enemies, the people who didn't like Jesus in his time, wrote about all his miracles and how it was taking all their people away from their religion. Now if you think about it that way, He is obviously true and 100% real.
God Bless You.

The answer to this would fill libraries, just part of the answer does fill the Vatican library. The development of the church, in the west, has been, particularly in Europe, parallel with the development of civilization there. The monks, in particular, carried Christianity and education into all the countries of Europe. The Church has spread throughout the world and served as a humanizing and civilizing force.

First of all, there is no "Roman" Catholic Church. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Secondly, ever diocese is a particular Church, if you are just asking about the Pope, or the Bishops in Spain, then you will have to ask that question. Finally, history records that the explorers in the new world, brought the Church with them, in the person of priests and friars, and the "Church" fully supported them in this.
The Roman Catholic Church is a type of Christian Church.
