CATHOLIC


Do you know what catholic is? Have you ever heard about Catholics's history and its followers? This is the time for me to tell you.

When we walk around in this world, we will find at least one people who are Catholic. There is one country which almost the populations are Catholic. It is Timor. So it is easy for us to find Catholic people there. Can we imagine that since the first time Catholic is one of the biggest religions in this world?

The history of catholic was started two thousand years ago. Talk about the history of Catholic can not be separated with the beginning structure for the early Christian Church and the Christianity. It is because the basis is person and teaching about Jesus Christ, that are described in four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Simon Peter, one of Jesus' disciples became a strong leader in the Jewish Christian movement after Jesus died. Then it was followed by James. At that time, there was also Saul, one of the strongest persecutors of Christians, had a blinding vision from Jesus Christ on his road to Damascus. Then he became a Christian and changed his name into Paul. He became the greatest evangelist of the early Christian church. His ministry was Paul's ministry and also called Pauline Christianity. Since the beginning, the early church was already becoming divided.

In 313 AD The Roman Empire officially recognized Pauline Christianity became a legal religion. During the following 1000 years, Catholics were the only people recognized as Christians. In 1054 AD, there was a split between the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. It also has effects today. They become two big Catholics that have their own followers.

The central place of Roman Catholic is Vatican. The Catholic Church believes that the Pope as the successor of Saint Peter and the singular leader of the whole Church on earth.
Catholic or Roman Catholic believes in Jesus and spread love to others. It is almost similar teaching with Christianity.


As a conclusion from the history of Catholics, we know that the main topic is believe in God, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit.

Hi Raymond,
I think that you needed to describe more clearly how the Catholic Church started. It seems that you have copied some of your writing from different sources. If you read through your report, you have included the correct information but you need more practice in writing it in a logical sequence. Next time write the whole report in your own words please.
