So why Catholic and not some other Christian denomination? One source lists 30,000 denominations of Christianity around the world. For 29,999 of them--if you dig a bit in history--you will be able to identify the human founder, or the person in history who claimed they "knew better" and alleged that the Catholic Church lost its way and now you should follow them instead (you'll find that's the case in this select list of human founders above). Jesus Christ established a Church (singular since He never spoke of the Church as plural), and like most things in our human story we've messed it up with an unending chorus of people saying "I know better." In Matthew 16:18 Jesus said to Simon Peter, "And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." From this passage it is very obvious that Christ is the builder or founder of the New Testament church and that he calls this church HIS church. Any church founded by someone other than Christ is not Christ's TRUE church. Other Chrisitan churches might well have parts of the lesser truth, but the greater truth resides in the Roman Catholic Church dated from Pentecost in the year 33AD. Read more about this:
