Music Of The Catholic Church Roman Catholicism is one of the largest religions in the world, with over a billion adherents distributed all over the world. Catholicism's history began when followers of Judaism accepted Jesus Christ as not just a prophet, but as the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Roman Catholicism was reputedly started with the commissioning of the Apostle Peter. Catholicism, which means universal, received the adjective "Roman" due to the Church's geographical location in the Roman Empire. There are two central ideas to Roman Catholicism: the Church as a teaching authority, and the Church as a sacramental agent. The Church as a teaching authority means that the Church is the interpreting agent of the Bible. The Church as a sacramental agent means that the church institutes sacraments for its followers so that they can live more spiritually. Roman Catholics recognize the New Testament and the Old Testament. In addition to the holy days celebrated by most other Christians, Catholics observe a number of other holy days and saints days. Special masses, fasts, or feasts might observe these.
