Who founded Catholic Christianity?
As a branch of Christianity, Catholicism can be traced to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ in Roman-occupied Jewish Palestine about 30 CE. According to Catholic teaching, each of the sacraments was instituted by Christ himself. Catholicism also holds that Jesus established his disciple St. Peter as the first pope of the nascent church (Matthew 16:18). Centuries of tradition, theological debates, and the wiles of history have shaped Catholicism into what it is today.

SACRAMENTS:
In Catholicism and certain other Christian churches, the sacraments are a key and essential part of the faith. In Catholic teaching, the sacraments serve to perpetuate the union of God and humankind. They are “the visible form of an invisible grace,” as St. Augustine famously described them. Catholicism celebrates seven sacraments: Baptism, the Eucharist, Confirmation, Reconciliation (confession), Marriage, Anointing of the sick, and Holy orders. Some, such as Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, and Ordination, are generally only to be received once in a Catholic’s life. For others, such as the Eucharist and Reconciliation, frequent participation is encouraged.
