.Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church was (and is) the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate in a human body with a human heart, and a Mystical Body. The Catholic Church thus is Love, the Love of God for mankind. The Church tries to lead people to God by preaching, administering the sacraments, and showing them how to pray, but beyond that, it is completely up to the individual, and between him and God. The Church cannot force anyone to do anything as God does not force anyone to do anything, it simply shows them God's love, and the consequences of rejecting that love.

The most important Church of the Middle Ages was the Catholic Church. When it split in 1054, it became the Roman Catholic Church in the West and the Eastern Orthodox Church in the East. There were always other Churches. The Celtic Church, the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches were very early and all predated the Middle Ages. The Celtic Christian Church was absorbed by the Catholic Church, but the others continue. There were also heterodox organizations outside orthodox Christianity, and some of these were declared heretical, in some cases resulting in military operations.
The Catholic Church has been a global force for thousands of years. Many books have been written on portions of the Church's roll in all of that. WikiAnswers is a fabulous database with answers to questions you simply can't find anywhere else, but it cannot possibly hold an answer to this question. Many scholars (and others) have spent a lifetimelearning about the Church, about what it is, and about what it does. It is unrealistic to expect to find any credible attempt to answer a question like this with a few paragraphs.
The Church has a less then impeccable record when Crusades and Inquisitions are added in, so that is surely true.

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 definition of bullying given in Wikipedia is:Bullying is the use of force or coercion to abuse or intimidate others."Others" are other people, every single human being is made in the image and likeness of God, and Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, was very definite about that: we are going to be judged on how we treat others, because"Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethern, you did it to me." St. Matthew 25:40b.Sin is a deliberate transgression of the law of God, in this case, the charity and care which we are bound, before God, to extend to our brother.
