Описание: WHO FOUNDED THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?

The Catholic Church believes that it was founded by Jesus Christ. According to Catholic tradition, Jesus appointed Saint Peter as the leader of His followers, making him the first Pope. This is based on Matthew 16:18, where Jesus says:

"You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

Historically, the Catholic Church traces its origins to the early Christian community established by Jesus and His apostles, particularly in Rome, where Peter and Paul spread the faith. Over time, the Church grew into a structured institution with a centralized leadership under the Pope.

WHO FOUNDED ALL DOMINATION PROTESTANT CHURCHES?



Protestantism was not founded by a single person but emerged as a movement during the Reformation in the early 16th century. However, the key figure who initiated it was Martin Luther, a German monk and theologian.

Main Founders of Protestant Denominations:

1. Martin Luther (Lutheranism) – In 1517, he nailed his 95 Theses to a church door in Germany, protesting Catholic practices like indulgences. This led to the formation of the Lutheran Church.


2. John Calvin (Calvinism/Reformed Tradition) – A French theologian who emphasized predestination and strict adherence to biblical teachings. His ideas influenced Presbyterians and other Reformed churches.


3. Huldrych Zwingli (Swiss Reformation) – A Swiss leader who rejected Catholic rituals and promoted a more symbolic interpretation of the Eucharist.


4. John Knox (Presbyterianism) – A Scottish reformer who brought Calvinist ideas to Scotland, leading to the formation of the Presbyterian Church.


5. King Henry VIII (Anglicanism/Church of England) – Broke from the Catholic Church in 1534, establishing the Church of England, mainly for political reasons.

Over time, Protestantism split into many denominations, including Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostals, and Evangelicals, each with its own leaders and theological differences.
