As the oldest branch of Christianity, along with [[Eastern Orthodoxy]],<ref>The [[Eastern Orthodox]] and some other churches are also apostolic in origin — i.e., they also date their origins back to the founding of the Church at the time of the [[Apostles]]</ref> the [[history of the Catholic Church]] plays an integral part of the [[history of Christianity]] as a whole. This article covers a period of just under 2,000 years.

Over time, [[Schism (religion)|schisms]] have disrupted the unity of Christianity. The major divisions occurred in c.144 with [[Marcionism]],<ref>{{CathEncy|wstitle=Marcionites}}: "...they were perhaps the most dangerous foe Christianity has ever known."</ref> 318 with [[Arianism]], in 1054 the [[East–West Schism]] of the Catholic Church with the Eastern Orthodox churches and in 1517 with the [[Protestant Reformation]]. The Catholic Church has been the moving force in some of the major events of world history including the evangelization of Europe and Latin America, the spreading of literacy and the foundation of the universities, hospitals, Western [[monasticism]], the development of art, music, literature, architecture, the [[scientific method]], and [[trial by jury]]. Also playing a role in world affairs including, the [[Inquisition]], the [[Crusades]], an analytical philosophical method, and the downfall of communism in Eastern Europe in the late 20th century.

* ''c.'' 4 BC: [[Nativity of Jesus]]. According to the Gospel of Luke, his birth occurred in the town of [[Bethlehem]] during the reigns of King [[Herod the Great]] of [[Judea|Judaea]] and the Roman Emperor [[Augustus]], and he was the son of the [[Mary, the mother of Jesus|Virgin Mary]], who conceived him by the power of the [[Holy Spirit]].

* ''c.'' 28: Jesus' baptism, start of ministry, and selection of the Apostles. The Gospel of Luke indicates that Christ was baptized during the 15th reign of Tiberius Caesar which is dated in 28 AD (found in Luke 3:1,21,22). Christian Gospels strongly suggest Peter as leader and spokesman of the Apostles of Jesus, being mentioned the most number of times in the Gospels. Peter, and the sons of Zebedee, James and John, constitute the inner circle of the Apostles of Jesus, being witnesses to specific important events of the life of Jesus; preachings of Jesus, such as the [[Sermon on the Mount]]; and performance of miracles, such as raising the dead back to life, feeding five-thousand, walking on water, etc.

* ''c.'' 31: Peter declares and other followers believe Jesus of Nazareth to be the Jewish Messiah promised by Yahweh according to the Jewish Scriptures and the predictions of the Hebrew prophets. Entry into Jerusalem, start of Passion of Christ. Jesus of Nazareth is [[crucifixion|crucified]] in [[Jerusalem]] under [[Pontius Pilate]], [[procurator (Roman)|procurator]] of [[Judea]] during the reign of [[Tiberius]] and [[Herod Antipas]], after the [[Sanhedrin]], under the High Priest [[Caiaphas]], accuse Jesus of blasphemy. He was then crucified under [[Pontius Pilate]]. According to his followers, three days later, "God raised him from the dead". Forty days after his [[Resurrection of Jesus|resurrection]] ([[Ascension of Jesus Christ|Ascension]]), the Christian Gospels narrate that [[Great Commission|Jesus instructed His disciples]] thus: "All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of time." (Matthew 28:18–20). Ten days later ([[Pentecost]]) Peter makes the first sermon converting 3,000 to be baptized.
