Catholic Answer

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.

The Catholic faith emanated from God from the beginning of time, and was established on earth definitively from the side of Jesus Christ on the cross outside of Jerusalem when He side was pierced by a spear, around 33 A.D.. Then it was shown to the world at Pentecost with the coming of the Holy Spirit, fifty-three days later. Jesus Christ guaranteed that It (the Catholic Church) would be ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC (universal), and APOSTOLIC (descending in direct line from the Apostles) until the end of time.

from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
766 The Church is born primarily of Christ's total self-giving for our salvation, anticipated in the institution of the Eucharist and fulfilled on the cross. "The origin and growth of the church are symbolized by the blood and water which flowed from the open side of Christ as he slept the sleep of death upon the cross that there came forth the 'wondrous sacrament of the whole Church.'" Sacrosanctum concilium 5) As Eve was formed from the sleeping Adam's side, so the church was born from the pierced heart of Christ hanging dead on the cross. (Cf. St. Ambrose, In Luc. 2, 85-89: J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina {Paris: 1841-1855} 15, 1666-1668)

767 "When the work which the Father gave the Son to do on earth was accomplished, the Holy Spirit was sent on the day of Pentecost in order that he might continually sanctify the Church." (Lumen gentium 4; cf. Jn 17:4) The "the Church was openly displayed to the crowds and the spread of the gospel among the nations, through preaching, was begun." (Ad gentes 4) As the "convocation" of all men for salvation, the Church in her very nature is missionary, sent by Christ to all the nations to make disciples of them. (Cf. Mt 28:19-20; Ad gentes 2; 5-6)

The Church was founded by Christ. It was then spread throughout most of the known world by the Apostles. St. Peter was the first pope and the other Apostles were the first bishops. This power has been conferred by them on other bishops and this has continued to the present day.

The Catholic Church, as we know it today, originated from the Great Schism of 1054, when the Christian Church split to form the Catholic Church in the west and the Orthodox Church in the east. Both Churches claim to be the true, original Church.

What is the origin of the Catholic religion?

The Christian Church is thought to have started around 30-33 CE in the Near East, probably in Jerusalem. A second-century tradition claims that Peter went to Rome to lead the Church there, but there was already a Christian community in Rome during the time of the apostle Paul, as we can see from his Epistle to the Romans. We do not know the origin of this community but, at this stage, the Roman church was not yet separate from the Church of the east.The Catholic Church, as we know it today, originated from the Great Schism of 1054, when the Christian Church split to form the Catholic Church in the west and the Orthodox Church in the east.
