Catholicism
The Catholic Church is one of the biggest and widely known churches in the world. It was established in 1054 after the church split between the east and the west. The east and the west became known as the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. We know this as the "Great Schism of 1054"
Since 1054 the church has developed from a small population to a total of 1 billion people. Most of the people who believe in Catholicism come from Western Europe and the Americas. Italy is a big contributor to those who believe in Europe because the pope,who is the leader on land through God, is located in Rome,Italy. Seeing that the pope is the leader on land we know that God is the leader above all who rules from heaven. Besides the pope, Catholicism has bishops who are in charge of the 2,796 diocese in the world, and each diocese in led by priests and deacons.
