Who is the founder of Catholic church?

Saint Peter ---- The Lord Jesus Christ founded and instituted the Catholic Church in concert with His Father and with the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, when God descended upon the Apostles and inspired them to preach the Good News to all the nations. To preach the Good News and make disciples of all men is precisely the Church's mission, and that is where it all began, just days after Jesus' death and resurrection. The mission of the church has been the same down to our own day. The unbroken apostolic succession of popes beginning with Peter is an important sign of the authority the Church has in Christ Jesus, but it may also be said this unchanging mission is one of the key elements that links the Church in our own day with our Apostolic past.
