Best Answer

Jesus Christ founded his Church here on Earth. He tells Peter and the Apostles his plan to create a Church in Matthew 16. He establishes that Simon (who he bestows the new name, Peter) should be the first Pope of the Church. The Church was not technically founded until Christ sent down the Holy Spirit which happened 10 days after his Ascension in what we now call Pentacost Sunday. After this happened, Peter and the Apostles eventually broke apart and went their own ways. When Peter reached Rome, he established the Church as an institution. That is, the Church had a physical home and an office of Bishop, a teaching authority (called the Magisterium), etc.

Scope and limitation of roman Catholic church?

The Catholic Church believes and teaches that Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and that His followers make up the body of the Church. The Church includes those who are already in Heaven (the Church Triumphant), those who are in Purgatory (the Church Suffering), and those here on Earth (the Church Militant). The scope of the Church includes God and mankind; this life and the next. One limitation of the Church is that men and women living here on Earth are imperfect and subject to sin. Therefore sin, division, and scandal can enter the Church here on Earth.


What church was left by Jesus Christ?

The church that Jesus Christ left on earth, was the Christian church, His Church, founded by his apostles. But what churches are these exactly. 1. The Church of Rome founded by the Apostle Peter and Paul 2. The Church of Constantinople founded by the Apostle Andrew 3. The Church of Alexandria founded by Mark the Evangelist 4. The Church of Jerusalem which was founded by Jesus himself, the continuation of his work in Jerusalem. 5. The Church of Antioch founded by the Apostle Peter. Each of these five churches before the East-West schism, formed the One true Holy and Catholic Apostolic Church, and it is from these that all other Christian denominations find their routes. Over time these churches witnessed internal schisms such as the protestant reformation which gave birth to the protestant churches. Therefore the church that Jesus Christ founded was the Christian church in all of its variation and glory
