the Church was not so much founded but the result of a schism of the early church. The east felt that rome was moving away from the core of the church teachings and remained more traditional.

it can be argued that the eastern church is actually the true descendent of the early church and that the Roman Catholic is the one that split with them and is the nee kid on the block.
