Actually, the Catholic Church was started by Christ.

Really? I have read the scriptures and no where does it say that Christ started the Catholic Church so you need to get over that misinformation. Also Christ preached about a personal relationship with God not being forgiven through your priest. Also where is Mary named in the Bible as someone with special significance? Christ never even calls Mary his “mother” he calls her woman, plus she had other children so she is no longer a virgin.

Besides Christ was Jewish why would he start the “Catholic” as oppossed to the catholic church?

The word “catholic” means “universal”. It claims the universality of Christ’s church makes it open to all: all classes, both genders, all nationalities. It implies that the Body of Christ is not limited to a time, place, race or culture. “Then Jesus approached and said to them, ‘All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you’”. (Matthew 28:18-20) No where do I read baptize them into the only Church that God recognizes the Catholic Church.
