According to tradition, the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is considered the founder of the Catholic Church. According to Catholic tradition, Jesus appointed the apostle Peter as the first leader of the Church. This is based on a passage in the New Testament (Matthew 16:18), where Jesus says, "And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." Over time, the institution of the Church developed under the guidance of early Church Fathers and successors of Peter, who came to be known as popes.
