Catholic AnswerYes, the Catholic Church was considered to have been born from the side of Christ when the soldier opened his side with a lance and blood and water flowed out. It was formally started at Pentecost, fifty days later, when the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles to confirm them in all truth and lead them to preach to and baptize all nations. Answer

The church established by Jesus Christ did not have a "name" such as "catholic", "baptist", "Methodist", etc. The followers were simply called "Christians".

Answer

The Christian Church was established by the Apostles around 33 A.D. The Apostles spread around the world to preach Christianity, and became the first Patriarchs of the Christian Church in Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, Rome and Constantinople. And so the Grace of the Holy Spirit passed from the Apostles to each new Patriarch after the Apostles died. All five Patriarchs (Jerusalem, Antioch, Alexandria, Rome and Constantinople) formed the New Testament and held councils to decide different issues in the Church. But around 1054 the Patriarch of Rome changed the words of the Nicean Creed and declared that he had power over all of the other Patriarchs. When he was not recognized as the supreme leader, he excommunicated the Patriarch of Constantinople. Immediately the Patriarch of Constantinople called together the Patriarchs of Jerusalem, Antioch, and Alexandria, and they all agreed to excommunicate the Patriarch of Rome. The Patriarch of Rome lost the Grace of the Holy Spirit and broke off to make his own Church, the Roman Catholic Church. The other Patriarchs stayed true and united to the True Church of Christ and later came to be known as the Eastern Orthodox Church. Therefore, the Eastern Orthodox Church is the first church that stays true to the teachings of Christ.

AnswerChristians were first called so at Antioch, which is currently in Turkey (Antakya), but the Christian church really began at Pentecost in Jerusalem. The church of Rome only came to its current position much later, especially after Constantine in 300 AD.

Acts 11:26 (King James Version): And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

Where was the first Protestant church built?

Martin Luther started the Protestant movement when he sought to to reform the Roman Catholic Church's use of indulgences. The first Protestant communion was celebrated in St Mary's Church, Wittenberg, Germany, in 1521. I think there is some confusion as to what the church is and what the church building is. The church is not the building, but the members of the congregation. That being cleared up, the question should be "Where was the first protestant church established?" or "Where was the first protestant church building built?" The contributor above has the correct to where and when the first protestant church was established.


Where was the first Roman Catholic Church?

Answer:In the first centuries of the Early Church, there was no "Catholic Church", "Orthodox Church" or "Protestant Churches". The Church certainly developed differently according to where Christians lived as they were affected by their own culture. For example, this meant that the way in which worship was expressed was not the same in Egypt as it was in Gaul (France) or Britain. The first splits took place quite soon (e.g. during the 4th century) due mainly to disagreements over teaching on Christ, but even then it would be inaccurate to say that those in Egypt began referring to themselves as the Coptic Church (the name used today) and those focussed on the Bishop of Rome as the Catholic Church (Note that the term 'Roman' Catholic did not come into use until the after the Reformation as was pejorative in nature)The Catholic Church (to use its proper title) centred on Rome might claim to be the oldest Church (as it believes Peter to have been the first Bishop of Rome i.e. pope), but this claim is also made by the Orthodox and Copts, both of which would say that it was the others which deviated..Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. There was only one Church, and it has been known as the Catholic Church since the late First Century, it was established by Our Blessed Lord from the Cross, confirmed by the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and remains the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church from then until now. Please note that there can only be one Church, not a "first" Church. As Our Blessed Lord only established one Church and it is His Mystical Body, and His Bride. He cannot have "two" or more.
