What year was Catholicism found?

The Christian church split 1054 into the Eastern and the Western, which was then to become the Roman Catholic church.

When the Church split in 1054 the West kept the name Catholic while the East became known as the Orthodox.

So Easter and Pentecost are both important feast days in the Catholic Church.
